Long Valley inspection Booth; 25-0038

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is seeking a qualified contractor to install a new vehicle inspection booth at the Long Valley Border Protection Station located at 402-650 Hwy. 395 in Chilcoot, Plumas County. The project involves procuring and installing a 5'8" x 10' exterior vehicle inspection booth, which includes comprehensive requirements for structural steel frames, insulation, sliding doors, windows, electrical systems, and HVAC. Bidders must hold a "B General Building Contractor" license and be prepared to remove the existing vehicle inspection booth, prepare a new concrete pad, install new bollards, and complete all electrical connections. The project requires detailed cost proposals covering labor rates, material costs, taxes, and additional fees, with a comprehensive submission including labor classifications and miscellaneous expenses. Key project dates include a pre-bid walk-through scheduled for June 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with written questions due by June 11, 2025, and final bid submissions required by June 27, 2025. The contract term will run from July 1, 2025, or upon final approval, through June 30, 2026, with no option to renew.

The procurement includes a specific 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal, requiring contractors to meet this targeted set-aside requirement. Bidders must provide extensive documentation, including a Non-Collusion Declaration and Labor Code Certifications, demonstrating compliance with California labor regulations. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability ($1,000,000), workers' compensation, and a builder's risk/installation floater. The contractor will be responsible for a one-year warranty on all products and services, and must adhere to prevailing wage provisions, with potential financial penalties for non-compliance (including $200 per calendar day for wage rate violations and $25 per worker for overtime infractions). While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, the cost proposal template suggests the project will involve detailed financial accounting across concrete work, booth installation, bollard installation, and electrical work. Contractors must be prepared to meet stringent state compliance requirements and provide a comprehensive, detailed approach to the vehicle inspection booth installation project.
