The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) - Napa is soliciting bids for Invitation for Bid (IFB #24-42013-000) to perform a Generator Stack Extension project at the Central Plant Building 331, located at 2100 Napa Vallejo Highway.

Chang and Associates drawings and structural calculations. Contractors must possess an A (General Engineering) Contractor License and demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in Co-Generation Plant Construction Services. The project scope includes installing ladders and platforms, maintenance receptacles, support towers, and requires detailed traffic control and crane operation plans. Key deliverables involve extending the generator stack 12'-6" high with specific structural and technical specifications, including a stainless steel inner jacket rated for 1000F temperatures and compliance with 2022 California Building Codes. A mandatory bidder's conference is scheduled for November 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM, with questions due by December 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM, and bid submissions required by December 12, 2024, at 3:30 PM.

The contract opportunity includes set-aside preferences for Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participants. Contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and meet specific insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate), Motor Vehicle Liability ($1M per accident), and Performance and Payment Bonds for the full contract amount. The project is classified as a public works project subject to prevailing wage requirements. The anticipated contract term runs from January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves substantial structural modifications, including a 11,500-pound stack extension with complex engineering requirements. Notably, the project includes provisions for BAAQMD personnel access, with a ladder and platform designed for air quality readings. However, it's important to note that a cancellation letter dated November 22, 2024, indicates the potential for re-solicitation, suggesting the final procurement details may be subject to change.
