The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) #6000001929 for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADAS) Maintenance and Repair Services at the California Men's Colony (CMC) in San Luis Obispo. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide preventative maintenance and emergency repair services for two Machine Interface Units located at the facility's Wastewater and Water Treatment Plants. Required qualifications include possessing either a C-7 or C-10 specialty license, or a Class B license with an appropriately licensed subcontractor. Service technicians must have either certified factory training or three consecutive years of experience maintaining similar equipment. Key procurement dates include an optional walk-through on April 1, 2016 at 10:00 am (with a notification deadline of March 18, 2016), letters of inquiry due by April 8, 2016, and a bid submission deadline of April 15, 2016 at 1:00 pm. The contract will run through June 30, 2018, with an anticipated service start date of May 1, 2016.

The solicitation includes a 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement for bids exceeding $15,000, which provides set-aside opportunities for qualifying veteran-owned businesses. The total contract amount shall not exceed $76,120.00, with a pricing structure that includes semi-annual maintenance and repair service rates, hourly repair rates during business hours, emergency call hourly rates outside business hours, and parts reimbursement (fixed at $10,000). The bid includes provisions for an early payment discount of at least one percent or $50.00 minimum for invoices paid within 30 days, which may serve as a tiebreaker in the event of equal bids. The procurement covers an estimated 300 hours of maintenance work per unit, with additional estimated hours for emergency calls during business hours (75 hours) and after-hours emergency services (40 hours). The State reserves the right to modify work portions as needed, and all quantities listed are considered estimates. Bidders must complete all rate fields, with incomplete submissions potentially resulting in bid rejection.
