IFB 25-0064 Portable Restroom Rental

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25-0064 for portable restroom rental services at the Long Valley Border Station. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide one Executive Restroom with weekly sewage tank servicing, beginning October 1, 2025, and continuing through August 31, 2026. Key contract requirements include obtaining necessary permits and maintaining the restroom in coordination with the station manager. The solicitation timeline includes a bid release date of August 26, 2025, with written questions due by August 29, 2025, and final bids due by September 12, 2025. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, but the bid process suggests a price-based selection methodology, with bidders required to complete a comprehensive cost proposal form that calculates total contracted amount by multiplying monthly rental rates by number of rental periods.

The IFB includes provisions for small business preferences, with a potential five percent adjustment up to $50,000, and while Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation is not mandatory, there is a three percent DVBE participation goal. Bidders must provide an Acord certificate of insurance with specific coverage requirements: $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and statutory workers' compensation coverage. The contract is subject to budget contingency, with payment made for actual expenditures incurred. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates that potential bidders must demonstrate capability to service a border station facility. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but bidders will be expected to submit detailed pricing through the cost proposal document, with the expectation of providing ongoing portable restroom services for an approximately 11-month period.
