Loma Vista MS Underground Pipes & Air Handler Replacement

Alvord Unified School District is soliciting proposals for pre-construction and lease-leaseback construction services on the Loma Vista Middle School Underground Pipes and Air Handler Replacement Project, with prequalification documents due November 18, 2026 and proposals due December 7, 2026. Prequalification submissions go through Quality Bidders, and proposals are due at 2:00 p.m. at the District's office in Corona, California. The project sits at 11050 Arlington Avenue, Riverside, California.

Proposers must hold a valid and active California Class B license and be registered and qualified to perform public works under Labor Code section 1725.5. Prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. apply, and Davis-Bacon and related acts compliance is mandatory. Separate payment and performance bonds, each equal to 100% of the total contract amount, must be issued by a California-admitted surety. The project is funded through the Measure J Bond, and all contractors and subcontractors must comply with applicable bond funding requirements. The source names no set-aside or preference program.

The scope covers replacing underground piping and air handlers and providing temporary HVAC to affected areas before and during construction. The construction estimate is $985,000.00.

The District will select a contractor through a "best value" process based on objective criteria that weighs the best combination of price and qualifications. The District reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal, waive irregularities, award to the second-highest scored proposer if the top selection fails to execute the contract, or award multiple contracts.

Questions are due November 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., and a final addendum will be issued by November 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The Board of Education award is scheduled for December 17, 2026, with preconstruction services beginning December 18, 2026 and construction estimated to start June 1, 2027. Laura Breuer (laura.breuer@alvordschools.org) is the contact for questions.
