The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) through its Facility Planning, Construction and Management (FPCM) division is soliciting bids for a materials procurement opportunity (Solicitation FPCM-CCWF-I001136-001-MF) for an Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) project at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla. The procurement specifically involves supplying materials for Building 508, covering approximately 22,200 square feet of exterior wall surface, with a planned installation date by May 28, 2025. Key deliverables include a comprehensive materials list detailing quantities, descriptions, costs, brands, and models for pre-award review, with the state retaining responsibility for actual installation. A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for October 22, 2025 at 0900 hours, and bids are due on November 5, 2025 at 2:00 PM. Bidders must submit a complete package including a Bidder Declaration, Payee Data Record, and other required certifications, with materials needing to meet specific design criteria and safety standards for a correctional facility environment.

The solicitation includes provisions for small business preferences, offering a 5% preference for California-certified small businesses and options for non-small businesses to claim small business subcontractor participation. While Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentives are mentioned, the DVBE program requirements are waived for this specific procurement. Delivery will be FOB Destination to the Central California Women's Facility, with strict security and gate clearance requirements necessitating coordination with the CDCR Construction Supervisor. The project requires a ten-year manufacturer's warranty, and potential bidders should be prepared for rigorous security clearance processes typical of correctional facility construction projects. Although no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the EIFS materials procurement and the project's scope suggest a significant investment in facility infrastructure improvement.
