SB Minor B 10A2889 - Replace CCTV, detector loops, controllers and routers in Amador County and Stanislaus County

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is soliciting bids for a Small Business (SB) Minor B contract to replace CCTV, detector loops, controllers, and routers in Amador County and Stanislaus County. The procurement spans multiple jurisdictions including Amador City, Amador Pines CDP, Amador County, and Stanislaus County. The scope of work encompasses nine primary line items valued at approximately $201,250.00, including lead compliance planning, construction area signs, traffic control system installation, stationary impact attenuator vehicle deployment (8 days), portable changeable message sign installation, job site management, water pollution control programs, maintenance of existing traffic management elements during construction, and modifications to signal and lighting systems. All work items are designated as either lump sum or day-rate units requiring detailed unit pricing from bidders. Required qualifications mandate that contractors be certified as small businesses under section 2-1.05 and possess appropriate contractor licensing and federal identification. Bid submittals must be submitted exclusively by email to kimberly.reap@dot.ca.gov, with a posted deadline of April 1, 2026, and any bids exceeding $461,000.00 will be rejected per Public Contract Code 10105(b). Upon award, the successful contractor must provide payment bonds and insurance as required.

This opportunity is restricted to certified Small Business (SB) entities, with no established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DVBE) contract goal, though Caltrans encourages bidders to obtain DVBE participation. The contract includes specific requirements for labor compliance certification, including the contractor's license number, state contractor's license classification, federal ID or social security number, and Department of Industrial Relations registration number. Contractors must certify that proposals are made without collusion and that they have examined all contract terms and project specifications. The project magnitude of work is valued at approximately $201,250.00, with a hard ceiling of $461,000.00 for bid acceptance. If a bidder is awarded the contract and subsequently refuses to execute required contract documents within the specified timeframe, the bidder may be held liable for actual damages or 10 percent of the bid amount, whichever is less, and may be listed as in default and rendered ineligible for future Caltrans projects.
