Interior & Exterior Painting - Maintenance

The Board of Education of the Fontana Unified School District is requesting sealed bids for interior and exterior painting maintenance services under Bid No. 26/27-0012, with bids due November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the District's Procurement Portal.

The scope encompasses surface preparation, prime coat application, and finish coat application for new and existing interior and exterior surfaces across the District's 45 school sites serving approximately 32,000 students. Work includes painting of roof-mounted mechanical and electrical equipment and wall-mounted conduit, excluding pre-finished surfaces, factory-applied finishes, concealed elements, glass, plastic laminate, ceramic tile, and anodized aluminum. All products must comply with Air Quality Management District local regulations and applicable codes governing airborne emissions and industrial waste disposal. Approved paint manufacturers are Vista Paint Corporation (the District's standard) and Dunn Edwards Corporation, with specific product lists provided. Contractors must submit six copies of complete material lists with technical data, application instructions, and safety data sheets prior to work commencement, prepare field samples of at least 100 square feet per finish type for written approval, and maintain surface and ambient temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours before and 48 hours after application. Exterior work is prohibited during rain or when relative humidity exceeds 50 percent. Contractors must deliver extra stock materials to the District Paint Department—a minimum of 5 percent of applied quantity or two gallons per specialty color, or 20 gallons for substituted materials—and provide a two-year guarantee against peeling, fading, cracking, blistering, or crazing.

The District estimates annual painting maintenance services costs may reach up to $1.5 million for informational purposes only and does not constitute a guarantee or commitment. The resulting contract carries an initial four-year term with an option for one additional year, not to exceed five years total.
