The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is seeking a contractor to provide air-bourne precaution room services for Ironwood State Prison (ISP) located in Blythe, California. The procurement, identified as Bid Number C5612891-D, Rebid 1, requires comprehensive testing, adjusting, calibration, and balancing of approximately seven isolation rooms. Qualified contractors must possess either a C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Contractor Specialty License or a C-61/D-62 Limited Specialty/Air and Water Balancing Contractor Specialty License. The contract requires National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) Certified Reports, air balance, and adjustment of existing sheaves, with the institution responsible for pre-balancing filter changes. An optional walk-through is scheduled for August 26, 2025, at 9:00 AM, and the bid is due on September 3, 2025, by 11:00 AM, with a public bid opening on September 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The contract term will run from the date of approval through September 30, 2028.

The procurement includes specific Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirements, with potential bid incentives based on the level of DVBE involvement. Contractors will be compensated according to the rates specified in Exhibit B-1, which covers annual inspections and hourly service rates. The bid package allows for invoice payment discounts, with a minimum 1% discount for payments within 30 days, potentially serving as a tiebreaker for competing bids. Contractors must complete all highlighted cells in the rate sheet, with mandatory bidding on each item and potential bid rejection for incomplete submissions. Zero-dollar amounts will be interpreted as the bidder agreeing to perform those services at no cost to the state. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive rate sheet and multi-year contract structure suggest a significant ongoing investment in maintaining the isolation rooms' air quality and balancing systems.
