The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is soliciting bids for the inspection, video recording, and cleaning of approximately two miles of brine discharge piping at the California Institution for Men in Chino, California.

Additionally, the contractor must provide emergency services for leaks or blockages with a four-hour response time. The contract is awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with price preference adjustments of 1% to 5% for certified Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE).
