P06252601A - MSF installation socal

The California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority (CALCTRA), a division of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, is requesting proposals for Modular Systems Furniture (MSF) installation services in Southern California, with proposals due September 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. A mandatory pre-bid conference and walkthrough precedes submission. No set-asides or preferences apply; award will be made on a best-value basis considering cost, past performance, and experience.

The scope encompasses installation of Monolithic and Frame and Tile MSF product lines, including height-adjustable tables, across thirteen Southern California counties (Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare, and Ventura). Services include delivery, set-in-place of freestanding furniture, and repair of all furniture types sold by CALCTRA. Compensation is based on percentage rates of list price for installation and reconfiguration services, with separate rates for each product line, plus hourly rates for miscellaneous work. Out-of-area installations beyond 75 miles from the contractor's regional office receive premium rates and per diem reimbursement.

Eligibility requires a valid California Contractors License Category C-61 with Prefabricated Equipment Specialty (D-34); a minimum physical presence in Southern California with 2,500 square feet of warehouse space and 2,500 cubic feet of storage; ownership or lease of a minimum twenty-foot box truck; and five years of business experience with at least three years providing MSF installation services. All work is subject to prevailing wage requirements and Department of Industrial Relations compliance monitoring. Personnel must complete gate clearance procedures five working days prior to service commencement and comply with comprehensive security provisions including background checks, facility access restrictions, and prohibition of contraband.

The contract term is approximately two years with an option to extend for one additional year. CALCTRA reserves the right to amend the contract to increase value by up to thirty percent or extend the term prior to expiration. A bidder's bond equal to ten percent of the bid amount is required at submission; payment and performance bonds of one hundred percent of contract value are required upon award. Award notification is anticipated by September 10, 2026, with a contract start date of November 1, 2026.
