24 SR #4 - Replace Roof: #2 S Sequoia Dr.

The California Department of Developmental Services is seeking a licensed roofing contractor to complete a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Porterville Developmental Center, specifically located at 2 S. Sequoia Drive. The procurement involves a complete removal of existing roof layers for a single building covering approximately 16,080 square feet, with the requirement to install a new UL listed Class A single-ply fully adhered roof system. Contractors must possess a current C39 roofing classification license and attend a mandatory site inspection scheduled for May 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM to be eligible to bid. Sealed bids will be received until 1:30 PM on June 3, 2025, at the Center's address, with the entire project to be completed within 60 working days. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation including a 10% bid bond, contractor references, non-collusion declaration, and various state-specific certifications, with evaluation likely focusing on compliance, technical capability, and overall bid responsiveness.

The contract includes specific provisions for small business and disadvantaged enterprise participation, with a 3% minimum participation goal for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). Contractors must comply with California civil rights laws and provide documentation demonstrating small business preference and DVBE participation. For contracts over $10,000, payment bonds are required, and for contracts over $25,000, performance bonds are mandated. The project is subject to prevailing wage rates established by the Department of Industrial Relations, and all workers will be required to undergo mandatory fingerprinting. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes contractor compliance with extensive state guidelines, including provisions for antitrust claims, recycling certification, and a novel requirement for disclosure of generative AI technologies that might impact contract performance. Though no explicit budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the roofing replacement suggests a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance for the Porterville Developmental Center.
