The State of California, specifically through the Department of Developmental Services and centered in Orange County, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive electronic access control system installation project at the Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa. The procurement requires a contractor to furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and services necessary to install an electronic access control system with 500 proximity control cards for Residences 36-39. Key deliverables include complete hardware installation, updated computer software, hand-held computers, proximity cards, electrical wiring, and power connections to create a fully functional turn-key system. Contractors must possess a current C-28 classification license from the Contractors' State License Board. The mandatory site inspection is scheduled for March 22, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the facility's Plant Operations Office, located at 2501 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Sealed bids are due by 1:30 p.m. on April 12, 2016, with a project completion timeline of 45 working days.

The contract includes specific set-aside and preference provisions, notably a 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) goal and an associated incentive program. Small Business preference is available for certified firms, and a payment bond of 100% of the contract price is required for contracts exceeding $5,000. Prevailing wage rates will apply, and contractors must comply with state nondiscrimination requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the electronic access control system suggests a significant investment in upgrading security infrastructure.
