The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive electronic access control system installation at Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa, Orange County. The procurement involves a turn-key project for residences 36-39, requiring a contractor to furnish all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to implement an electronic access control system with 500 proximity control cards. Specific deliverables include hardware installation, updated computer software, hand-held computers, proximity cards, electrical wiring, and electrical power connections for each designated opening. Contractors must possess either a C-28 or B classification license from the Contractors' State License Board and complete the project within 45 working days. Key procurement dates include a mandatory site inspection on May 10, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the Fairview Developmental Center Plant Operations Office, with the final day for questions set for May 17, 2016, at 4:30 p.m. Bid submissions are due by May 24, 2016, at 1:30 p.m., with late arrivals to the mandatory site inspection being automatically disqualified.

The contract includes a 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) goal with an associated incentive program, and preference will be granted to certified Small Business bidders. A payment bond of 100% of the contract price is required for contracts exceeding $5,000, and prevailing wage rates established by the Department of Industrial Relations will apply to the project. The bid package can be obtained by contacting Kelly Vu via email at kelly.vu@fdc.dds.ca.gov. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the electronic access control system installation suggests a significant investment in upgrading security infrastructure at the developmental center. The project appears to be focused on modernizing access control systems across specific residential units, indicating a potential broader strategic upgrade of facility security measures.
