About this opportunity
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB 06A3119) for water testing services across Fresno, Kern, and Tulare Counties. The procurement covers comprehensive water sampling and testing activities at multiple Safety Roadside Rest Areas and Maintenance Stations, including collecting and testing water samples, operating drinking water and wastewater chlorinator systems, and conducting monthly bacteria testing. Contractors must possess specific professional credentials, including a valid Wastewater Operator license, Water Treatment Operator Certification (Grade D-2/T-2 or higher), and Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program Certification. The solicitation requires bid submissions by March 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT, with a bid opening scheduled for 2:30 PM PT the same day. The projected contract period spans from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2028, with an estimated award date of March 13, 2025. The scope encompasses both scheduled routine testing and as-needed bacteria retesting services across multiple locations within the specified counties.
Small businesses and micro businesses may be eligible for a 5% bid preference, and while there is no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, a DVBE incentive is available. Bidders must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations, though subcontractors performing exclusively lab testing are exempt from this registration. Prevailing wage requirements will apply if the total bid exceeds $15,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the water testing services and the multi-county scope suggest a significant contract value. The procurement appears designed to ensure ongoing water quality and testing compliance across critical transportation infrastructure facilities, with a focus on maintaining rigorous environmental and public health standards through professional water management services.
