Campus Safety Building

Cerritos Community College District is requesting bids for labor, materials, tools, and equipment to complete the Campus Safety Building construction project (Bid No. PW2600000018), with bids due September 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PDT. Contractors must be prequalified prior to bid submission; the District is not accepting additional prequalifications for this bid, making prior qualification status a hard gate to entry.

The scope encompasses comprehensive general construction and specialty trades across 20 work categories: site demolition, concrete, structural steel, masonry, carpentry, roofing, doors and hardware, glazing, drywall, painting, fire sprinkler systems, plumbing, HVAC, electrical work, low-voltage systems, fire alarms, audiovisual equipment, and landscaping with irrigation. The project is estimated at 973 calendar days in duration. Each work category requires specific California Department of Industrial Relations contractor licenses ranging from general contractor (Category B) to specialized trade licenses (C6, C7, C8, C10, C12, C16, C17, C20, C21, C28, C29, C33, C35, C36, C39, C43, D16, and D28). All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations.

The District will award a lump-sum contract. A bid bond equal to 100 percent of the bid amount is required; however, no payment or performance bonds are required. Bidder offers remain valid for 60 days after the bid deadline. Liquidated damages provisions apply to construction progress.

Two pre-bid meetings are scheduled for August 14, 2026 and August 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Cerritos College Construction Management Office in Norwalk, California; attendance is not required. The District's purchasing office is located at 11051 166th Street, Cerritos, California 90703, and Tilden-Coil Constructors serves as the owner's agent.
