25-280114. FMD. Zero Waste Facilitator

The State of California, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is soliciting bids for a Zero Waste Facilitator position at Buildings 402 and 418, with a proposal due date of April 21, 2026. This procurement involves a two-phase public works project structured around synthetic turf installation at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. Bidders must complete the provided Excel rate sheet by entering dollar amounts for each phase (Phase 1: submittals; Phase 2: synthetic turf installation) and calculating the total combined bid amount in U.S. currency, with all figures printed in ink or typewritten in clear, legible form. Key requirements include submission of all proposed subcontractors performing work exceeding one-half of one percent of the general contractor's total bid, including subcontractor name, address, license type, dollar amount, and percentage of work. Bidders must certify their status as a California company under Public Contract Code Section 6107 to be eligible for reciprocal preference against nonresident contractors. Payment will be made upon completion of each phase on a monthly basis in arrears, and bidders may offer a discount of at least one percent of the invoice amount with a minimum of $50.00 for invoices paid within thirty days of receipt. Failure to complete any highlighted cell or provide dollar amounts for any line item may result in bid rejection, and any zero dollar amounts will be interpreted as the bidder performing services at no cost to the State.

The procurement includes specific set-aside requirements for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, with prime contractors required to list all certified DVBE subcontractors used to fulfill established DVBE goals. While the solicitation documents do not explicitly identify incumbent vendors or current contractors, the structure suggests integration with existing CDCR operations at San Quentin. In the event of tied bids, award preference will be given to the lowest responsible bid with the highest discount; if discounts also tie, the awarded bidder will be determined by public coin toss. The specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, though bidders should anticipate that pricing will be evaluated as a primary award criterion based on the rate sheet submission requirements.
