C5612877-D - Facility Rental for Physical Fitness Testing

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), specifically the Office of Peace Officer Selection (OPOS), is seeking facility rental services to conduct Physical Fitness Testing (PFT) for peace officer candidates. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number C5612877-D requires a facility capable of accommodating up to 90 candidates, with both indoor and outdoor testing areas, power outlets, tables, chairs, and storage space for testing materials. The contract will run from September 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with potential for two additional one-year extensions. OPOS anticipates conducting 16 testing days annually, with sessions running from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, including monthly weekday sessions and quarterly weekend sessions. Bids are due by May 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with a public bid opening on May 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The evaluation will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the contract award based on the rates submitted for Items A through C of the rate sheets.

The CDCR encourages participation from small businesses, disadvantaged businesses, and disabled veteran businesses, with a 25% small business participation goal. While there is no minimum Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, bidders can receive incentive points ranging from 1-5% based on their DVBE involvement. The contract allows for flexibility in facility location, which is currently noted as "to be determined" (TBD). The rate sheets provide a framework for pricing, with potential for future amendments to add additional contract years contingent upon contractor performance and fund availability. Although the current rate sheets show placeholder values of zero, the contract is structured to allow for competitive bidding and potential future extensions. The procurement aims to secure a flexible and suitable facility that can consistently meet the CDCR's physical fitness testing requirements for peace officer candidate selection.
