Certified SB, including MB, SB-PW, or DVBE Only** IFB No. 132630 Santa Rosa Backflow Replacement, Santa Rosa Armory

The California Military Department is requesting bids on backflow device replacement and testing at the Santa Rosa Armory under IFB 132630, with bids due September 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-bid job walk on September 9, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. This procurement is restricted to certified Small Businesses (SB), Micro Businesses (MB), Small Business Public Works (SB-PW), or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) — a hard set-aside that eliminates non-certified firms unless they subcontract at least 25 percent of net bid price to certified SBs to claim a five percent preference.

The scope encompasses replacement and testing of one backflow device, installation of a concrete pad with security cage, and submission of passing test results. The prime contractor must hold a valid C-36 Plumbing Contractor license from the California Contractors State Licensing Board and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. All materials, labor, bonds, licenses, insurance, equipment, tools, permits, taxes, transportation, and fees are the contractor's responsibility. Work must be completed within 180 calendar days, and a one-year warranty on parts and labor begins after final inspection and project completion.

Attendance at the pre-bid job walk on September 9 at Santa Rosa Armory, 1500 Armory Drive, Santa Rosa, is mandatory for bid eligibility; failure to attend or remain for the entire walk may result in disqualification or non-responsive status. A bid bond of at least 10 percent is required if the bid exceeds $24,999.99, along with payment and performance bonds per public works standards. A DVBE Incentive Program applies with a dollar cap of $100,000 for all combined incentives. Questions are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 15, 2026 to Joy Lubic at Joy.Lubic@cmd.ca.gov. Bids must be emailed to PWC@cmd.ca.gov with subject line referencing IFB 132630 and contractor business name. Bid opening is September 22, 2026 at 2:15 p.m.
