C1541025 Graffiti Removal Project

The California Department of Parks and Recreation, Angeles District is seeking sealed bids for a graffiti removal project (Contract C1541025) located at Corral Canyon Cave in Malibu Creek State Park. The project involves comprehensive graffiti removal from both the interior and exterior of a cave, covering approximately 800 square feet internally and 500 square feet externally, with an additional 300 square feet of surface area to be cleaned 100 feet north of the cave. Contractors will be required to use compressed walnut shells as the primary cleaning method, with work to be completed within 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. An optional job walk is scheduled for April 6, 2016, at 11:00 AM in the State Park parking lot at the top of Corral Canyon Road, and sealed bids are due by April 18, 2016, at 2:00 PM at the Angeles District Administrative Office in Calabasas. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid complies with all requirements, with the potential to reduce the project scope if funding is insufficient.

The procurement includes provisions for small businesses and encourages Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, offering a 5% small business preference for certified small businesses or non-certified businesses that subcontract at least 25% to certified small businesses. Businesses can submit a base bid for the primary graffiti removal work and an alternate bid for additional graffiti removal along Mesa Peak road, covering approximately 600 square feet. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract's scope suggests a moderate-sized project with flexibility for potential scope adjustments based on available funding. The procurement appears open to various contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications and cleaning requirements, with an emphasis on supporting small and veteran-owned businesses. The evaluation will focus on compliance with bid requirements, technical capabilities, and overall cost-effectiveness, with the primary goal of restoring the cave and surrounding areas to their original condition by removing all graffiti.
