2026 All Gender Restrooms

The District, part of the California Community College System and serving over 23,000 students annually through its Stockton Main Campus, South Campus at Mountain House, and Manteca Center, is soliciting bids for the construction of all-gender restrooms under solicitation number 2026-RFB-020, with a response deadline of June 25, 2026. The project, classified under NAICS code 236220, is administered by the District’s Procurement, Contracts & Auxiliary Services office in Stockton, California, with Sr. Procurement Specialist Bennie Salazar as the primary point of contact. Work is to be performed at the District’s campuses, with substantial completion required within 150 days of the Notice to Proceed and final completion an additional 150 days thereafter. The contract is structured as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement, where award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder whose proposal meets minimum technical requirements, with no trade-off process for higher-priced, higher-performing bids. The scope includes full labor, materials, equipment, permitting, and coordination necessary to construct all-gender restrooms in compliance with applicable codes, including ASTM, NFPA, ACI, and California Title 24 standards, as well as manufacturer specifications. Packaging, preservation, and labeling must prevent damage, ensure traceability, and maintain compliance with UL, ASTM, and AISC/RCSC standards, though no bar-coding or military standards are mandated. The Contractor must submit detailed documentation including material certifications, maintenance manuals, training records, and closeout reports, with inspections conducted at both fabrication and project sites and final acceptance determined administratively by the District’s Board of Trustees upon successful compliance verification. Insurance requirements include $1 million per occurrence commercial general liability coverage, automobile liability, builder’s risk, and naming the District and its agents as additional insureds. An Owner-Controlled Insurance Program may be instituted, requiring the Contractor to remove related costs from its bid. Special requirements include adherence to safety protocols prohibiting weapons and drugs on site, submission of shoring plans for excavations over five feet, advance coordination of utility connections paid for by the District, and strict substitution procedures where proposed alternatives must meet or exceed specified performance without additional cost. The Contractor must also comply with California-specific certifications, including the Iran Contracting Act and an Experience Modification Rate of 1.25 or less for all subcontractors.
