C5612781-D Landfill Sampling, Testing and Monitoring Services

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) C5612781-D for Landfill Sampling, Testing and Monitoring Services at the Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) in Jamestown, Tuolumne County. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform comprehensive environmental monitoring tasks, including groundwater, surface water, unsaturated zone, and gas migration monitoring in compliance with California Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 96-010. Required services encompass semi-annual and annual field parameter measurements, soil moisture readings, and detailed reporting, with a focus on monitoring a closed landfill site. The contract term runs from approval through June 30, 2028, with specific deliverables including field measurements, monitoring of various environmental parameters, and comprehensive reporting on site conditions. Key response dates include a bid submission deadline of July 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with a public bid opening on July 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Evaluation will focus on technical expertise, particularly in geosynthetic clay liner design and soil moisture monitoring sensor experience, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who meets all specified requirements.

The solicitation includes specific small business and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation goals, with the state seeking to meet a 25% small business participation target. A DVBE incentive of 1-5% and a small business preference of up to 5% (not to exceed $50,000) are available to qualifying bidders. The rate sheet includes 18 distinct tasks with varying service frequencies, allowing bidders to provide pricing for specific monitoring and reporting activities. Contractors can potentially offer invoice discounts of at least 1% for prompt payment, which may serve as a tie-breaker in bid evaluations. The estimated quantities are explicitly noted as CDCR estimates, with the state reserving the right to modify or omit portions of the work as necessary. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation requires bidders to demonstrate technical capabilities in environmental monitoring and reporting. The comprehensive nature of the monitoring services suggests a potentially significant contract value, though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
