The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #25C201004) for Scale Maintenance Services across multiple locations in El Dorado County and surrounding areas. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide semi-annual scale maintenance services at four CHP area offices: Donner Pass (Truckee), Camino (East Placerville), Antelope, and Murphy (East of Angels Camp). The contract will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with an estimated six maintenance services per location during the contract period. Bidders must possess specific qualifications, including a Contractor State License Board (CSLB) C61/D21 license for Machinery and Pumps, a Certificate of Accuracy from a weights and measures authority, and registration with the California Business and Professions Code. The bid submission deadline is May 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with a mandatory walk-through at each location in April 2025 required for potential bidders. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for each location, with evaluation focusing on compliance with licensing, certification, and technical requirements.

The solicitation includes provisions for prevailing wage requirements and public works contractor registration. While a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement has been waived for this specific contract, bidders can still claim a DVBE incentive by including DVBE subcontractors. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but will be determined through the competitive bidding process. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract requires integration with existing CHP scale infrastructure at four distinct area offices, with a focus on maintaining accurate and reliable weighing equipment. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical competence, appropriate licensing, and the ability to perform comprehensive scale maintenance services across multiple geographic locations within the specified contract period.
