If subcontractors are used, each must be identified with scope, contact information, and license details, and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations per California Labor Code 1725.5.

Pricing must be submitted using the official price form and must include labor, materials, equipment, supplies, general conditions, site security, means and methods, markups, allowances, and sales taxes. Bidders must provide a daily rate for schedule changes and a preliminary schedule with key work components and milestones. Questions are due September 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST. Bids remain valid for at least sixty calendar days. Award goes to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest price.
