About this opportunity
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a Cannabis Enforcement Program (CEP) Process Server Service Contract. The purpose of the contract is to obtain the services of a private process server to serve complaints against unpermitted cannabis cultivators who are engaged in environmental pollution, as CDFW's Law Enforcement Division has limited resources to do so. The contract term will be for 3 years from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, with a maximum contract amount of $27,000.00. CDFW is seeking bidders who can serve parties out of state, including those actively evading service, and provide investigatory services such as stakeouts and skip-tracing if needed to effect service. Bidders must meet minimum qualifications related to process server services, including being a registered process server with no felony convictions. The bid is due on April 26, 2024 by 4:00 pm PT, and the proposed award date is May 10, 2024.
The IFB includes small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preference and incentive programs. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. The contract will reimburse the contractor for actual services rendered, with set unit rates for standard and rush service of legal documents, electronic filing, copying, and printing. The contractor must maintain specific insurance coverages throughout the contract term, and payments will be made monthly in arrears upon submission of detailed invoices.
Opportunity text
Invitation for Bid P2491001 Cannabis Enforcement Program (CEP) Process Server Service Contract The CDFW¿s Law Enforcement Division (LED) investigates crimes against California¿s natural resources. Today, wildlife is being poached throughout the State, State waters are being polluted, streams and critical habitats are being destroyed, and human activities are damaging wildlife habitat and requiring responses from wildlife officers at historic levels. Crimes associated with cannabis cultivation cause significant environmental damage. The Cannabis Enforcement Program (CEP), now a statewide program, targets those cultivators operating without the necessary permits and engaging in significant environmental pollution in conjunction with their unpermitted activity. One of the more effective enforcement tools remains the administrative enforcement authority provided by Fish and Game Code Section 12025. Enforcement attorneys draft complaints against these cultivators and once they are served complaints, litigate the claims against them, as needed. Due to the unpermitted nature of their activities, most of the growers and/or landowners avoid contact. In addition, many of the growers and/or landowners are from out of state and/or operate under a Limited Liability Corporation (L.L.C.) Given LED¿s limited resources, services of a private process server are required.
