Elementary Classroom Window Abatement and Replacement IFB

The State of California, specifically Riverside County, is seeking bids for an Invitation for Bid (IFB DR150459) for the California School for the Deaf, Riverside (CSDR). The procurement involves comprehensive lead and asbestos abatement and exterior window replacement for buildings 110, 200, 210, and 220, located at 3044 Horace Street, Riverside. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, tools, materials, transportation, equipment, services, supervision, licenses, insurance certificates, and disposal necessary to complete the project. Specifically, the project requires replacing 401 glass windows with dark blue, 1/4" thick glass that is 25% to 35% tinted. Contractors must possess either an A General Engineering Contractor, B General Building Contractor, or C-17 Glazing Contractor license, each with ASB/HAZ Certification. A mandatory site inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., and bidders not attending will be disqualified from submitting a bid. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 2, 2016, with a project completion timeline of 30 working days after the notice to proceed.

The procurement includes a 5% small business preference for qualified bidders. Contractors awarded contracts exceeding $25,000 must provide a payment bond and performance bond covering 100% of the contract price. The solicitation includes specific insurance requirements, mandating commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit. Liquidated damages of $100 per day will be assessed for late project completion. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the abatement and window replacement work suggests a significant infrastructure investment. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit restrictions on enterprise types beyond the small business preference. The project appears to be a targeted infrastructure improvement for the California School for the Deaf, focusing on modernizing and potentially improving the energy efficiency and safety of classroom windows through comprehensive abatement and replacement services.
