On-call concrete related services-small projects

The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County, California, is soliciting proposals for on-call concrete related services for small projects under $35,000. The Request for Proposal (RFP) #3845 seeks contractors with a valid CSLB C-8 Concrete or CSLB B General Building Contractors license to perform concrete forming/finishing, driveway construction, cross gutter replacement, concrete foundations, stamped concrete, and minor concrete work. EMWD anticipates approximately 50 such projects annually and may award multiple contracts. Contractors must provide detailed estimates within three business days of project inspections, with all labor, material, and equipment costs clearly itemized. Evaluation criteria will include price, qualifications, experience, performance history, safety record, and ability to meet EMWD's specific requirements. The proposal is due by 4:00 PM on August 18, 2025, with a contract term of five years. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage rates, work during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM), and adhere to California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations for construction vehicles and equipment.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must complete several mandatory forms, including a Cal/OSHA Compliance History form, Iran Contracting Act Certification, and a CARB Contractor Mobile Source Form. Pricing will remain firm-fixed for the first contract year, with potential price adjustments in subsequent years limited to a maximum of 3% based on supply price increases, governmental regulatory changes, or industry price indices. Contractors must provide proof of insurance and meet specific insurance requirements within 14 calendar days of the award recommendation. The RFP requires detailed business information, three business references with at least five years of experience, and comprehensive documentation of qualifications and experience. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the projects are defined as small, with individual project values not exceeding $35,000. Contractors must be prepared to demonstrate compliance with various regulatory requirements and maintain detailed documentation throughout the contract term.
