Simpkins Stadium Center Roof & HV Replacement

San Jose State University, part of The Trustees of the California State University, is soliciting bids for the Simpkins Stadium Center Roof & HV Replacement project, with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough on November 10, 2026. A 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement applies, and bids that fail to meet it are non-responsive. Bidders must also be prequalified with the Trustees through PlanetBids, with applications submitted no less than ten business days before the bid due date.

Bidders may claim up to a 5% Small Business Preference (up to $50,000) if properly approved as a Small Business or committing to subcontract at least 25% of the net bid amount with certified small businesses. A DVBE participation bid incentive of up to 5% applies for bid evaluation only, and cumulative adjustments combined with the Small Business Preference may not exceed $100,000.

The scope is replacing the roof and rooftop heating and ventilation units on Simpkins Stadium Center per plans and specifications prepared by Dialog Design. Contractors must hold a California Class B General Contractor License or a combination of C20 and C39 licenses and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. This is a public works project subject to prevailing wage rate laws, and it will be enrolled in the Builders Risk Insurance Program. Only contractors attending the walkthrough at 1218 South 7th Street, San Jose, California 95112 may bid, with attendance limited to one or two people per company.
