The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation solicits quotes for a boat boarding float replacement project at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park located in Shasta County, with jurisdictional impact to Shasta CDP, Shasta Lake City, and Mount Shasta City. The procurement requires removal and disposal of an existing 80-foot-long, 5-foot-wide boarding float and replacement with a new 80-foot-long, 6-foot-wide aluminum-frame boarding float featuring interlocking aluminum decking, expanded polystyrene floatation meeting ASTM C-578 standards, and marine-grade 6061-T6 aluminum structural components. The new dock must support a total weight capacity of 19,220 pounds for the 480-square-foot dock, accommodate a 450-pound concentrated point load, and achieve cross slopes not exceeding 2 percent under dead load only along accessible pathways and maximum cross slopes of 2 percent with 4.9 percent longitudinal slope under combined loads; all work must comply with the 2025 California Building Code, 2025 California Electrical Code, 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and Division of Boating and Waterways guidelines. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of commercial aluminum fabrication experience, submit shop drawings and calculations stamped by a California-registered Professional Engineer, provide welder certifications for AWS D1.2-certified personnel, and deliver the completed installation by May 15, 2026; written questions regarding specifications must be received by 4:30 PM on May 11, 2026, with the response deadline of 2:00 PM on May 23, 2026. The dock must include marine-grade flexible PVC bumpers around the entire perimeter, sixteen 8-inch stainless-steel pop-up cleats, heavy-duty flush-mounted piano hinges connecting dock sections to the existing aluminum gangway, and all fasteners and hardware must be 316 stainless steel; the successful bidder must provide a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from project acceptance. Evaluation will determine the lowest responsible bidder on an all-items basis, with award expected within 45 days following the bid due date, and bidder offers remain valid for 45 calendar days following the response due date.

The solicitation is available to all qualified bidders but provides preferential consideration to certified small businesses receiving a 5 percent preference and to non-small businesses claiming at least 25 percent California certified small business subcontractor participation, with preferences capped at a maximum of 15 percent or $100,000. Bidders claiming Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) status, Microbusiness (MB), or Nonprofit Veteran Service Agency (NVSA) certifications must complete commercially useful function certifications and provide the DGS certification number and expiration date. A Target Area Contract Preferences Act (TACPA) preference is available for contracts exceeding $85,000, requiring bidders to commit to performing either 50 percent of labor hours within designated distressed areas for goods contracts, with preferences capped at a maximum of 15 percent of the lowest responsible bid not to exceed $100,000. All bidders must comply with the Unruh Civil Rights Act and Fair Employment and Housing Act certifications, Executive Order N-6-22 regarding Russian sanctions, the Darfur Contracting Act certification, recycled content certification requirements, and must submit payee data records (STD 204 and DPR-88), Generative AI Disclosure Forms (DPR-97B), and proof of California Seller's Permit. The project requires integration with existing aluminum gangway infrastructure and three existing 9-inch steel guide piles, with the new float connecting to and utilizing these existing systems. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the contract qualifies for both small business and TACPA preferences, indicating anticipated procurement value sufficient to trigger these preference programs, and all quotes are requested on an F.O.B. Destination basis with late delivery charges applicable per specifications.
