The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is requesting price quotes for routine and non-routine generator maintenance and repair services across six stations in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara Counties under IFPQ #05A3028, with quotes due September 1, 2026. This solicitation is restricted to certified small businesses, micro businesses, small businesses for public works purposes, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises registered with the California Department of General Services — a hard set-aside that filters eligibility.

The scope comprises comprehensive maintenance, inspection, and repair services at Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Willow Springs, Templeton, Salinas, and Saratoga stations, including twelve quarterly inspections and three annual inspections per station annually, plus 120 hours of non-routine service per station per year, totaling 18 line items for pricing. All labor, parts, tools, materials, equipment, travel, supplies, and incidentals are included. Routine services operate Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; non-routine services are provided on an as-needed basis, including outside normal business hours. Bidders must hold a valid C-10 Electrical Contractor license from the California Contractors State License Board and current Department of Industrial Relations registration.

The maximum allowable bid is $484,000; bids exceeding this threshold are rejected as non-responsive. The contract term is three years, commencing October 20, 2026 and expiring October 19, 2029. California State Prevailing Wages apply if the total bid exceeds $15,000. A payment bond equal to 100 percent of any service request exceeding $25,000 is required prior to work commencement. Commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, and statutory workers' compensation coverage are mandatory, with Caltrans named as additional insured.

Written questions are due August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Award is estimated for September 11, 2026, to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive price quote.
