6000001982 - Concrete Pumping Services

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is soliciting bids for concrete pumping services through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #6000001982, covering ten distinct geographical groups across various state correctional facilities. The procurement seeks contractors to provide comprehensive concrete pumping services, including operators, equipment, materials, and all necessary licenses and permits for the Inmate/Ward Labor Program. Required equipment includes 85', 100', and 120' boom trucks, maximum 1" aggregate hose pumps, 3/8" pea gravel line hose pumps, and grout pumps, with services to be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 3:30pm. Bidders must submit detailed rate sheets for each equipment type, specifying hourly rates for equipment and operators, per-yard pricing, and setup/cleanup and travel fees. The initial contract term runs from award through June 30, 2017, with Groups 1-4 beginning immediately and Groups 5-10 starting July 1, 2016. Proposals were due by March 1, 2016, with bidders required to provide both electronic (Excel) and printed rate sheet submissions.

The solicitation includes Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentives ranging from 1-5% based on participation levels, encouraging minority and veteran-owned business participation. Contractors may submit proposals for any or all of the ten geographic groups, with separate contracts to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. The estimated contract values range from $40,000 to $300,000 per group, with a total estimated funding of $1.52 million across all groups. A prompt payment discount option is available, requiring a minimum 0.5% discount (at least $50) for invoices paid within 30 days, which will serve as a tiebreaker in the event of equal bids. The state reserves the right to modify work quantities as needed, and all listed quantities are considered estimates used solely for bid comparison purposes. Zero dollar amounts on rate sheets will be interpreted as services to be provided at no cost to the state, and all pricing must include fees and taxes.
