Request for Quote I001101-M026

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued Request for Quote I001101-M026 for concrete procurement to be delivered to the California Institution for Women over a two-year period. The solicitation seeks 300 cubic yards of 4000 PSI concrete specifically for slab on grade and exterior walkways, with precise technical specifications including maximum aggregate size and ASTM C150 Cement Type V. Bidders must submit a comprehensive mix design with their proposal, and the concrete must be deliverable within 24 hours of request. The contract is set to commence on 05/01/2025, with potential for amendments to extend the purchase order or increase quantities. Key dates include the quote release on 03/25/2025 and bid submissions due by 04/08/2025. Evaluation criteria emphasize technical compliance, including mandatory attachments such as Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) Certification and Postconsumer Recycled-Content Certification. Pricing structure includes unit prices for concrete, environmental fees, fuel surcharges, and short load fees, with provisions for potential escalation over the contract's 24-month duration.

This procurement is exclusively reserved for California-certified Small Businesses (SBs), with additional preference given to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). Bidders must demonstrate compliance with several California state requirements, including the Darfur Contracting Act, California Civil Rights Laws, and regulations surrounding recycled content and small business participation. Specific compliance documentation includes a DVBE Declaration and certifications verifying environmental and recycling standards. The contract includes specific logistical requirements for batch plant location, standby time, and detailed load ticket documentation. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 300 cubic yards of specialized concrete with complex delivery and technical specifications. The restricted bidding pool of small and micro businesses suggests an estimated contract value designed to be accessible to smaller local concrete suppliers, with potential for multiple award scenarios based on meeting the strict technical and compliance requirements.
