Parrot gardens office - ADA accessibility renovations

The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) is soliciting proposals through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction services to perform ADA accessibility renovations at the Parrot Gardens Office leasing facility located at 1850 St. Charles Street, Alameda, California 94501. The scope of work encompasses installation of new accessible parking spaces and crosswalks, truncated domes, zero-height curbs, new concrete sidewalks and paving, utility boxes at grade level, concrete pads for trash dumpster collection, a new property sign with mailbox and bulletin board, and replacement of the existing sliding glass door with an ADA-accessible hinged outswing door equipped with panic hardware and sidelight. All renovations must conform to the TWM Architects + Planners permit issue plans dated February 20, 2026, with any deviations to be addressed through formal change orders. Proposers must demonstrate qualifications and experience in similar ADA accessibility projects, submit a detailed proposed approach, provide customer service plans, include cost analyses with three-year pricing, and furnish professional references. The evaluation criteria allocate 30 points for qualifications and experience, 20 points for proposed approach, 10 points for customer service, 10 points for cost analysis, 10 points for references, and 20 points for lowest overall price. Critical dates include a mandatory bid walk on April 9, 2026, at 1:00 P.M., a deadline for questions and requests for interpretations by April 15, 2026, at 4:00 P.M., and a proposal submission deadline of April 30, 2026, at 4:00 P.M. through the Bonfire Procurement Portal, with the overall opportunity due date of May 1, 2026.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly identified in the procurement documents, though proposers must comply with Section 3 requirements and California Labor Code prevailing wage requirements. The contract does not require Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance as the project valuation falls below the $60,000 threshold. Contractors must obtain all necessary permits at their own expense, provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of scheduled costs, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability at $1,000,000, workers' compensation with employers' liability of $1,000,000 per accident, and professional liability with limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence and in aggregate. The AHA anticipates awarding one or more contracts for an initial three-year term with options for two additional one-year renewal periods, not to exceed five years in total in compliance with HUD regulations. While no specific incumbent vendor or budget range is listed in the available documentation, the project valuation ceiling of $60,000 for Davis-Bacon exemption purposes provides an indication of the anticipated contract scope. All proposers must complete the Profile of Proposer form, provide a conflict of interest certification through the AHA's online portal, and submit comprehensive documentation verifying ownership structure, business identification numbers, and absence of litigation history, foreclosure proceedings, tax arrears, contract defaults, or debarment actions.
