C5613679-D - asbestos abatement, lead-based paint, lead-containing paint, lead-containing materials and mold removal services

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), Contracts Management Branch, is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid C5613679-D for as-needed asbestos, lead-based paint, lead-containing material, and mold removal services supporting its Correctional Construction Mentorship Program, with letters of inquiry due November 20, 2026 and bids due December 4, 2026. Certified small and micro businesses receive a 5% preference up to $50,000, and non-small bidders may claim the same 5% preference by committing to 25% or more small or micro business subcontractor participation. A DVBE incentive of 1% to 5% applies to qualifying DVBE participation.

Bidders must hold a C-22 Asbestos Abatement Contractor Specialty License, or a B General Building Contractor License with a C-22 subcontractor, plus Asbestos Certification (ASB) and Hazardous Substance Removal Certification (HAZ). Proof of Department of Industrial Relations registration must accompany the bid, and prevailing wage requirements apply. Bidders must certify California company status under Public Contract Code Section 6107 to claim reciprocal preference. A bid bond of at least 10% of the base bid is required.

The Master Agreement covers cleaning, removal, transportation, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACCM, RACM, PACM, ACM), lead-based paint, lead-containing paint and materials, and mold-contaminated materials on an as-needed basis. Work includes floor tiles, roofing, ceilings, walls, piping, thermal insulation, plumbing fixtures, and underground storage tanks, with non-emergency and emergency services plus decontamination, containment, mobilization, and demobilization. Exhibit B-1 Public Works Rate Sheet rates must include labor, travel, per diem, PPE, permits, and bonds. The IFB summary describes 22 facility groups, while Exhibit B-1 lists 13 institution groups. Bidders may bid one or more groups but must bid all locations and all line items within each selected group. Blank cells or missing dollar amounts may result in rejection, and a zero amount means the bidder performs that service at no cost to the state.

The State's total estimate across all groups is $23.35 million. The IFB summary states per-group estimates from $100,000 to $5 million, while Exhibit B-1 cites a $150,000 minimum. Services run from January 1, 2027, or upon approval if later, through December 31, 2029, with rates fixed for the three-year term. Work is performed at CDCR institutions in California listed in Exhibit E, including Folsom State Prison and California State Prison Sacramento. Payment is monthly in arrears after phase completion. A prompt-payment discount of at least 1% on invoices of at least $50 for payment within 30 days is optional, and ties go to the highest discount, then a public coin toss. Bidders must disclose subcontractors exceeding one-half of 1% of the total bid and list certified DVBE subcontractors.

Bids are due December 4, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with a public bid opening on December 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
