The California Military Department is issuing Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 124021 for the replacement and testing of one backflow device at the Stockton Combined Support Maintenance Shop (CSMS) located at 8020 South Airport Way, Stockton, California 95206.

The prime contractor must possess a valid California Contractors State Licensing Board Type C-36 Plumbing Contractor license at the time of bid submission and throughout contract performance. An optional but highly recommended pre-bid job walk is scheduled for February 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with prospective bidders required to arrive at least 15 minutes early; failure to attend or remain for the entire walk may result in disqualification.

The California Military Department has established a 25 percent Small Business participation goal and offers a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Incentive Program with a combined dollar cap of $100,000. Bid bonds of at least 10 percent of the bid amount are required for bids exceeding $24,999.99, with both payment and performance bonds required in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price from California-admitted sureties. All bid prices must be all-inclusive and incorporate prevailing wage rates as established by the California Department of Industrial Relations, with contractors required to register with that department and comply with all applicable labor code requirements. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, with the State named as an additional insured. No specific contract award value or budget range is identified in the solicitation documents; however, the requirement for bid bonds on amounts exceeding $24,999.99 suggests the project may fall within that threshold range.
