Pressure Washer Replacement

The California Military Department is seeking a qualified contractor to replace two hot water pressure washers at the Stockton National Guard Campus, specifically located at the Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) and Combined Support Maintenance Shop (CSMS). The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Event #37471, requiring the successful bidder to furnish all labor, equipment, materials, permits, and fees to remove existing pressure washers and install new Hotsy equipment (models 1265SSD and 944N). The project demands a contractor with a C-36 Plumbing Contractor license or B General Building license who can complete full installation, utility connections, system integration, and provide 36 months of semi-annual and annual maintenance services. A mandatory pre-bid job walk is scheduled for January 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM at 2000 Stimpson Rd, Stockton, with strict attendance requirements - bidders must sign in, remain for the entire walk, and be present for roll call to maintain bid eligibility. All questions must be submitted to Robert Hawkins at Robert.hawkins@cmd.ca.gov by 4:00 PM on January 21, 2026, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM on February 4, 2026, via email to PWC@cmd.ca.gov.

The contract includes specific set-aside provisions favoring Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) vendors, offering a combined preference of ten percent. Non-DVBE contractors must subcontract a minimum of five percent of work to DVBE firms to meet participation goals. The prime contractor is required to self-perform at least 20 percent of the total work value and ensure all subcontractors are properly licensed. Bid and performance requirements include a ten percent bid bond for contracts over $25,000, with 100 percent performance and payment bonds required upon contract execution. Insurance requirements mandate $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate general liability coverage, $1,000,000 combined single limit automobile liability, and statutory workers' compensation insurance. The project is subject to prevailing wage rates, Buy Clean California Act requirements, and various state and federal environmental and non-discrimination provisions. While no specific budget range is listed, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment focused on modernizing pressure washing capabilities at the Stockton National Guard facilities.
