North Housing: Estuary I & Linnet Corner 3-Bid Solicitation for Window Tinting

Island City Development is seeking bids from qualified firms to provide and install window tinting for two multi-family housing developments located in Alameda, California: Estuary I at 500 Mosley Avenue and Linnet Corner at 2000 Lakehurst Circle. The procurement involves a comprehensive window tinting project for common area windows, with specific requirements for heat reduction, reflectivity, and privacy. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a detailed response including a comprehensive scope of work, cost estimate with a not-to-exceed amount, proposed timeline confirmation, hourly rates for additional services, and acknowledgment of project document review. Key project dates include questions due by August 6th, 2025, bid submissions via the Bonfire platform by August 8th, 2025, consultant selection on August 11th, contract finalization by August 13th, and tinting installation commencing on August 15th, 2025. The project involves tinting 26 window locations at Estuary I (across North, South, East, and West elevations) and 22 window locations at Linnet Corner, with careful consideration required for glare and window positioning.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the solicitation appears open to qualified window tinting firms capable of meeting the technical specifications. The project documentation includes exterior elevation drawings, a comprehensive window schedule for both properties, and a sample Consultant Services Agreement that outlines insurance and contractual requirements. Architectural drawings indicate these are senior housing developments with complex window configurations, suggesting potential technical complexity in the window tinting installation. Although a specific budget range is not directly stated, the detailed solicitation and multiple architectural documents suggest a professional, structured procurement process with significant attention to technical specifications and installation requirements. The contract appears to be structured with potential for additional services, as evidenced by the request for hourly rates beyond the primary scope of work.
