Air Handler Unit 2 & 4 Restoration Project

Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), a local public entity of the State of California, is issuing an informal Request for Bids (iRFB-25-06923) for Air Handler Unit 2 & 4 Restoration services. The project scope encompasses comprehensive cleaning, disinfecting, and re-coating of condensate pans for two air handling units, including HEPA vacuuming and internal plenum washing, fan preparation and painting, chemical treatment and high-pressure washing of coils and condensate pans, drain flushing, epoxy re-sealing of condensate pans, installation of astro-foil insulation, and disinfection of internal components. Qualified bidders must hold a valid California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) C-20 classification for Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Contractors and maintain current Department of Industrial Relations public works registration at the time of bid opening and throughout project duration. Work must be performed exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays only at IEHP's main campus located at 10801 6th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730. A mandatory job walk is scheduled for March 3, 2026, at 9:00 AM PT, with attendance required or bids will be rejected; bidders must submit written questions by March 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM PT, and bids are due March 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM PT via electronic submission through the Bonfire website at www.iehp.bonfirehub.com. IEHP will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with bids remaining valid for 90 calendar days after bid opening, and expects to issue a Notice to Proceed within ten days of the contractor executing all required documents and certifications.

This is a prevailing wage public works project under California Labor Code, restricting bidder eligibility to contractors and subcontractors with active Department of Industrial Relations registration. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are mentioned in the procurement documents. Bidders must satisfy debarment certification requirements, verifying non-exclusion from participation in State and Federal health care programs by checking four specific lists: the Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals and Entities, the General Services Administration System for Award Management, the California Department of Health Care Services Medi-Cal Suspended and Ineligible Provider List, and the Medicare Opt-Out List. All contractors must provide required bonds and certificates of insurance within ten working days of receiving the Notice of Award; while bid security is not required for this informal solicitation, a payment bond equal to 100% of the contract price is required if the awarded contract exceeds $25,000, and IEHP reserves the right to require a performance bond at its sole discretion. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are identified in the procurement documents. The contract will be governed by California law, with disputes to be litigated exclusively in state or federal courts located in San Bernardino or Riverside counties.
