IFB 25C726005 BAY door maintenance services

The California Department of Highway Patrol (CHP) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) 25C726005 for Bay Door Maintenance Services targeting two facilities within the Gilroy Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility (CVEF). The procurement encompasses quarterly maintenance services for northbound and southbound inspection bay doors, including comprehensive tasks such as lubrication of friction points, door balancing, motor limiter adjustment, chain tensioning, functional electrical and mechanical component testing, and pressure washing. Contractor qualifications require a current Contractor State License Board (CSLB) C-61/D-28 license for doors, gates, and activating devices, along with local county or city business licensing. The mandatory walk-through is scheduled for December 2, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with bidder questions due by December 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., and final bids due on December 12, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CHP intends to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the resulting agreement anticipated to be effective from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028.

The procurement includes several unique preference and compliance requirements, with no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, though voluntary DVBE commitments can yield up to a 5% bid incentive. Contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and comply with prevailing wage requirements specific to Santa Clara County. Small business and micro-business preferences of up to 5% are available, and a non-small business subcontractor preference exists when 25% or greater small business participation is committed. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation coverage. All personnel assigned to the contract are subject to driver's license and fingerprint background checks before facility access. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the three-year contract term suggests a substantial maintenance service investment, with potential for contract extensions at CHP's discretion.
