Palm Springs Unified School District is requesting sealed bids for improvements to a 7,500-square-foot commercial building at 1247 Gene Autry Trail in Palm Springs, California, with bids due August 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., and mandatory prequalification by July 23. A mandatory job walk on July 14 at 10:00 a.m. is a non-waivable eligibility condition — failure to attend renders bids ineligible. DVBE participation goals of at least 3% per year apply if the project receives state funding under the California School Facility Program.

The scope includes selective demolition, interior framing, finishes, MEP upgrades, HVAC upgrades, new roof installation, exterior painting, and limited site improvements. If electrical, mechanical, or plumbing work is performed by first-tier subcontractors, those subcontractors must hold California license classifications C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43, or C-46 and must also be prequalified.

All workers must be paid prevailing wage rates as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations under Labor Code sections 1770 et seq. The contract includes an Unforeseen Conditions Allowance of $150,000 to address conditions encountered during selective demolition or excavation. One additive alternate covers landscape and irrigation work.

Bidders must submit prequalification applications through Colbi Technologies at www.qualitybidders.com by July 23. Sealed bids are due at the District Office (150 District Center Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264). Bid security must equal 10% of the total bid price. The successful bidder will furnish 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. Submissions must include a Designated Subcontractors List, Noncollusion Declaration, and Iran Contracting Act Certification. The District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to change the schedule or terminate the process at any time.
