CHP Peralta Platform Scales Eastbound & Westbound –Janitorial Services

The California Department of California Highway Patrol is requesting bids on janitorial services at the Peralta Platform Scales Eastbound and Westbound facilities in Anaheim under IFB, with bids due October 2, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. A mandatory 5% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement applies; failure to meet this threshold renders a bid non-responsive.

The scope is one day per week janitorial services at both platform scales locations, including all labor, transportation, equipment (brooms, buffers, mops), cleaning agents, and operating expenses. The contractor must hold a valid California business license, register with the Department of Industrial Relations under the Property Services Workers Protection Act, provide proof of liability insurance, and pass driver's license and fingerprint background checks.

The minimum janitorial hourly rate is $16.31 with a blended benefit rate of $15.51 per hour. The contract term runs November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027, with one optional one-year extension contingent on satisfactory performance, funding availability, and Department of General Services approval.

A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for September 18, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Bidder questions are due September 25, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. The CHP intends to award a single agreement to the responsive and responsible firm offering the lowest bid. Bidders may claim additional preferences for small business or micro business (up to 5%), non-small business subcontractor with 25% small business participation (up to 5%), or DVBE incentives (varying 1–5% based on participation level), provided cumulative preference and incentive adjustments do not exceed $100,000. Bids must include completed required certifications, DIR registration proof, business licenses, and DVBE declarations; bid preparation costs are borne entirely by the bidder.
