The San Joaquin Delta Community College District is seeking contractors for the 2026 Shima Bakery Remodel project, with a solicitation number of 2026-RFB-021 and a bid submission deadline of June 25, 2026. The project, valued at $770,000, involves comprehensive renovations to a bakery classroom facility at the District’s Stockton Main Campus, encompassing installation of commercial ovens, walk-in coolers and freezers, plumbing fixtures, electrical extensions, and flooring modifications. All work must comply with applicable California building codes including Title 24, the 2010 California Electrical Code, NFPA 54, NFPA 96, ASHRAE 15, ASTM standards, and NSF and UL certifications, with technical specifications taking precedence over drawings in case of conflict. The performance period begins 90 days after the Notice to Proceed, anticipated for July 24, 2026, and must be completed within 90 calendar days, targeting an October 2026 closeout. Contractors must submit detailed schedules, ensure all systems are fully operational and inspected, obtain final certificates of occupancy, and deliver closeout documentation such as operation and maintenance manuals. All submissions must be made electronically via the OpenGov portal in PDF format with digital signatures accepted through certified platforms like DocuSign, while the Bid Bond must be physically delivered by hand or mail to the District’s procurement office in Stockton. Bidders are required to comply with California-specific regulations including DIR registration, adherence to IRCA, avoidance of conflicts of interest per Government Code §1090, and maintenance of an Experience Modification Rate of 1.25 or lower for any subcontractors. Insurance coverage must include commercial general liability, automobile liability, and builder’s risk, with the potential for an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program to supersede contractor-provided coverage. Safety standards mandate OSHA compliance, weekly safety meetings, use of personal protective equipment, and a strict prohibition on controlled substances or alcohol on-site. Packaging and storage of materials must prevent damage, maintain legibility of manufacturer labels including batch and expiration dates, and protect against environmental exposure, with work subject to inspection at fabrication sites and the project location. Acceptance authority resides solely with the District’s Board of Trustees upon verification of substantial completion and resolution of all punch list items. Failure to meet mandatory certifications, including those related to Iran investment or DIR registration, can lead
