Main Jail Replace Locks at Cell Doors Pilot Program Locks on 8th Floor

Sacramento County is procuring lock replacement services for a pilot program at the Main Jail facility located at 651 I Street, Sacramento, California. The project involves the removal of existing jamb-mounted locks and strikes from eight detention cell doors on the 8th floor and the installation of new Willo Wedge Surface Max lock housing units, lock cartridges, and lock cylinders with connections to existing control and power wiring. The work is classified as an alteration project requiring a valid California General Class B contractor's license and must be completed within 214 calendar days from the commencement date, with normal working hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The contract requires prevailing wage compliance, as this project exceeds the $15,000 threshold under California Labor Code Section 1771.5, and the successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to one hundred percent of the contract price. Evaluation will be based on the base bid only, with no additive or deductive items considered, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Key deadlines include a pre-bid question deadline of March 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., a bid submission deadline of March 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via the Sacramento County Electronic Bidding Portal, and a requirement for the apparent low bidder to provide Certificates of Reported Compliance for the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation by 4:00 p.m. the Monday following bid opening. Bid security equal to ten percent of the aggregate bid amount must be submitted in the form of a bid bond, certified check, or cash.

No set-asides or restrictions limiting competition to specific organization types, such as disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses, are identified in the solicitation documents. Two pre-approved Detention Equipment Contractors have been designated: Willo Products Company LLC manufactures the lock pockets and strike assemblies using 304 or 316 stainless steel, while Willoughby Locking Systems manufactures the Grade 1 locks and accepts existing Mogul Cylinders. All contractor personnel must undergo security background investigations and clearance from the Sheriff's Department at least seven to ten business days prior to site access, and workers must comply with facility-specific requirements including wearing security badges, submitting to facility searches, and adhering to clothing restrictions that distinguish them from inmates. The estimated construction cost for this pilot program is $169,000, with liquidated damages set at $1,500 per calendar day for delays beyond the established completion date. The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty on all installed hardware, and the installer is required to provide 60 days post-installation to identify any non-compliance with industry standards. Contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations prior to contract execution.
