The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for moving services at the San Pedro DMV Field Office located at 1511 N. Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA 90731. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide a minimum two-person crew to move approximately 300+ inventory items, including office furniture, equipment, supplies, and fixtures, from the field office building to onsite storage containers and back after renovations. Key service requirements include providing one driver/mover and one helper, along with a truck and necessary moving equipment like pallets and pallet jacks. The contractor must possess either a valid Motor Carrier Permit from the California DMV or a valid license from the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services. Critical procurement dates include written questions due by November 20, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., bid responses released by December 2, 2025, and bid submissions required via email by December 9, 2025, at 11:59 p.m., with a bid opening scheduled for December 10, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. The DMV will award the contract to the lowest responsible responsive bidder based on two separate cost line items for moving items to storage and moving items back into the building.

The procurement has waived the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, though a 3-5% bid incentive will be applied for bidders proposing California certified DVBE participation at specified levels. There is no current contractor for these moving services. The estimated project cost is $9,990.00 for a twelve-month contract with a proposed start date of February 1, 2026, or upon contract approval.

Prevailing wage requirements will apply if the bid exceeds $2,500.00. The contractor will be responsible for all materials, equipment, labor, protective coverings, trash disposal, and liability for any lost, damaged, or broken items during the move. No IT or electronic equipment will be moved or stored, and the DMV will provide storage containers to be placed in the parking lot.
