IFB No 127352 Building 59 Demolition

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 127352 seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive modular furniture services, including fabrication, repair, renovation, and installation of modular furniture components at multiple DWR facilities throughout California, with the primary location at Natural Resources Headquarters in Sacramento and secondary work sites in Oroville, Fresno, Glendale, and other regional offices. The scope of work encompasses hourly labor rates for various classifications (Master Installer, Lead Installer, and Installer), equipment rental (moving van with lift gate), and additional services such as panel cutting, work surface cutting, re-fabric labor, painting, and parts markup. Qualified bidders must be experienced firms operating on a full-time commercial basis for at least five years under the same business name, with three verifiable references from the past five years demonstrating commercial modular furniture installation experience for projects exceeding twenty cubicles, experience with Allsteel, Haworth, and California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority modular components, proof of at least two forklift-certified employees, operations within fifty miles of Sacramento, and current business licenses and certifications. Technical questions were required to be submitted by April 29, 2026 at 4:00 PM with responses provided by April 30, 2026 at 11:00 AM, sealed bids were due May 6, 2026 at 9:00 AM with public bid opening conducted via Microsoft Teams at 11:00 AM the same date, and the anticipated contract start date was June 2026 with an initial three-year term and no specified renewal options. The contractor must comply with prevailing wage requirements as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations and maintain workers' compensation insurance, general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, with payment made within 45 days of invoice submission following work acceptance by the DWR Contract Manager.

A mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement applied to this procurement, with incentive percentages ranging from 3.0% to 5.0% based on participation levels, and failure to meet DVBE compliance requirements would have resulted in bid rejection. Bidders were required to submit a Bidder's Bond equal to 10% of the bid amount with a California Department of Insurance-registered surety. No specific award value or budget range was identified in the solicitation materials. However, it should be noted that this procurement opportunity has been cancelled effective April 16, 2026, as documented in Addendum #1 to the IFB, issued by the California Department of Water Resources in the best interest of both the State and interested parties, and therefore this solicitation is no longer available for bidding.
