Grease Trap Interceptor Services, Los Alamitos, CA

The California Military Department has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #35608) for Grease Trap Interceptor Services at the Sunburst Youth Academy located in Los Alamitos, California. The procurement specifically requires a comprehensive one-day service on or around June 11, 2025, to clean and pump out two grease interceptor tanks: one 1,500-gallon and one 55-gallon tank at the facility's Dining Facility (DFAC). Required services include completely emptying tank contents, pressure washing tank interiors, and hydro-jetting inlet and outflow pipes, with all waste to be transported and disposed of at a licensed facility. Bidders must submit their proposals by June 3, 2025, at 2:30 PM PDT, with all questions regarding the solicitation to be submitted to Jessica Jauregui at bids@cmd.ca.gov no later than May 27, 2025. Contractors must be licensed, provide qualified personnel, and self-perform at least 20% of the work. The evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive bid from a qualified, responsible bidder, with the expectation of a single lump sum quotation that includes all contract costs.

The solicitation includes potential preference provisions, specifically a 5% small business preference and a 5% disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) preference. Although the Military Department has waived mandatory DVBE participation requirements for this project due to time constraints, they still encourage DVBE subcontractor participation. Contractors must comply with various state regulations, including maintaining a drug-free workplace, adhering to civil rights laws, and providing recycling certifications. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a single service event with a defined scope of work. The contract opportunity covers multiple jurisdictions in California, including Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County, though the specific service location is the Sunburst Youth Academy in Los Alamitos. Potential bidders should note the comprehensive compliance requirements and the need for specialized grease trap interceptor services with precise technical specifications.
