Relocation, Hauling, Salvage and Recycle of Equipment

The state of California is seeking an on-call, as-needed service provider for relocation, hauling, salvage, and recycling of equipment across four counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, and Santa Clara. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with the document reference number C16-29999, which was posted on June 2, 2016, with a response deadline of June 16, 2016. The comprehensive solicitation appears to require a contractor capable of managing complex equipment movement, salvage operations, and recycling processes across these Northern California counties. While specific technical details are not fully apparent from the provided documents, the contract seems to demand specialized logistical capabilities in equipment handling and environmental disposal. Potential bidders should carefully review the attached documents, particularly the main IFB document, to understand the full scope of required services, submission requirements, and evaluation criteria. The procurement process indicates a structured approach to selecting a qualified vendor for these specialized transportation and recycling services.

The contract opportunity demonstrates a commitment to supporting small businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses, as evidenced by the attached documents regarding Small Business (SB) participation and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentives. These attachments suggest potential set-aside provisions or preference points for businesses meeting specific diversity and enterprise qualifications. While the exact award value is not specified in the provided documents, the multi-county scope and on-call nature of the contract implies a potentially significant engagement. The procurement appears designed to create flexibility for the state's equipment relocation and recycling needs, allowing for responsive and adaptable service delivery. Interested vendors should pay close attention to the certification requirements for small business and disabled veteran enterprise status, as these may provide competitive advantages in the bidding process. The June 16, 2016 deadline underscores the time-sensitive nature of this procurement opportunity.
