The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a comprehensive roof replacement project at California State Prison, LAC in Lancaster, California. The procurement specifically seeks complete roofing systems for multiple buildings (336, 337, 338, 339, and 3310), requiring approximately 16,878 square feet of 80 mil PVC membrane with factory-applied felt backing for each building. Key deliverables include thermoplastic roofing membrane, sheet metal products, adhesives, sealants, technical assistance, and a full system warranty. Bidders must provide a 10-year full system warranty (No Dollar Limit) covering both labor and materials, with all deliveries to be coordinated with the Construction Supervisor and completed within 3 business days of request. The mandatory site walk-through was conducted on October 9, 2024, and bidders must either confirm prior attendance or request a new walk-through date by December 20, 2024. Bids are due by December 23, 2024 at 2:00 PM, with the contract to be awarded on an "all or none" basis with F.O.B. Destination shipping terms.

The solicitation includes preferences and set-asides for California certified small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBE), with incentive percentages ranging from 1-5% based on DVBE participation levels. Potential bidders must navigate strict prison facility procurement requirements, including obtaining gate clearances for deliveries within the secure perimeter and ensuring all delivery personnel pass background checks. The State reserves the right to increase the purchase order by 20% prior to final delivery. Specific technical requirements prohibit certain material substitutions, such as disallowing EPS and Polysio insulation in place of XPS, and mandating specific adhesive types (water-based only). Delivery logistics are complex, with trucks required to clear a 13'7" height restriction and adhere to detailed operational protocols. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roofing system replacement across multiple buildings suggests a significant contract value for the selected vendor.
