The procurement requires contractors to submit unit price proposals for four line items: Jobsite Management, Water Pollution Control Program, Traffic Control System, and Lighting Systems, all measured as lump sum quantities. Bidders must be certified small businesses under section 2-1.05 and must possess a valid California state contractor's license, federal identification number, and Department of Industrial Relations registration.

This procurement is designated exclusively for certified Small Businesses (SB), with no Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contract goal established, though the Department encourages DVBE participation from interested bidders. Award of the contract is contingent upon the selected low bidder providing payment bonds and insurance documentation at the time of award. The project involves the integration of new LED lighting systems into existing infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions, requiring coordination with current site conditions and compliance with state and local standards. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed for this solicitation, allowing all eligible small business entities to compete for the work. The estimated contract value ranges from approximately $416,000.00 to the maximum allowable bid of $461,000.00, providing a defined budget ceiling for planning purposes.
