The procurement seeks a contractor to perform comprehensive environmental monitoring for a closed landfill, including semi-annual and annual groundwater, surface water, unsaturated zone, and gas migration monitoring. Key service requirements include detailed environmental assessment activities mandated by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 96-010.

The bid was released on October 17, 2025, with bid submissions due by November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and a public bid opening scheduled for November 17, 2025. The contract term is set to end on June 30, 2028, with evaluation based on the lowest responsible bidder who complies with all prescribed requirements.

The solicitation includes specific set-aside provisions, with a 25% Small Business (SB) participation goal and potential Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentives of up to 5%. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a detailed Rate Sheet covering 18 distinct environmental monitoring tasks, insurance certificates, and various state-mandated forms. The rate sheet allows for pricing flexibility, with contractors able to offer discounts for invoices paid within 30 days, which could serve as a potential tie-breaker in competitive bidding. CDCR reserves the right to reject any bid and adjust or omit portions of the work as necessary. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves detailed environmental monitoring services with estimated task frequencies ranging from one to two occurrences per year. The state emphasizes comprehensive documentation and compliance, with zero-dollar entries on the rate sheet interpreted as the bidder agreeing to perform services at no cost to the state.
