FPCM-CCWF-I001136-001-MF EIFS System

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is soliciting bids for an Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) project at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, located in Marin County. The procurement seeks materials and fabrication for a complete EIFS system to cover approximately 22,200 square feet on Building 508, including comprehensive material requirements such as ridged insulation, fasteners, anchors, drainage track, primer sealer, reinforcing mesh, trim, joint sealants, and various coating materials. A mandatory walk-through inspection was scheduled for October 22, 2025, at 0900, with gate clearance information due by October 15, 2025. Bids were originally due by November 5, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., but Addendum #1 extended the submission deadline to November 12, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The project requires a manufacturer's standard 10-year full system warranty, on-site technical assistance, inspection, testing, and staff training. Bidders must provide detailed materials lists including quantities, unit pricing, and brand/model information, with failure to do so potentially resulting in disqualification.

The procurement includes preferences and incentives for small businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs), with a 5 percent DVBE incentive available for confirmed DVBE participation of 5 percent or greater. Bidders must comply with multiple state and federal regulations, including nondiscrimination provisions, Electronic Waste Recycling Act compliance, and certifications regarding child support, drug-free workplace, and Darfur Contracting Act compliance. The contract will be awarded on an "All or None" basis, with the state reserving the right to increase the purchase order by 20 percent upon written approval. Two suppliers may be selected - a primary and an alternate - with the primary supplier responsible for timely delivery and the alternate assuming the primary role if the primary supplier fails to deliver. All materials must be newly manufactured, meet design criteria and safety standards, and comply with applicable codes and laws. Payment will be made in accordance with the California Prompt Payment Act within 45 days of invoice receipt or goods acceptance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive material requirements and extensive project specifications suggest a significant investment in the EIFS system installation.
