Brockton Office First Floor Remodel

The Brockton Office First Floor Remodel project for the Riverside Unified School District involves a comprehensive renovation of the building’s first floor, encompassing selective demolition, installation of new non-structural metal framing, upgrades to electrical and low-voltage systems, modifications to the HVAC system, and the installation of a new fire alarm system. Architectural scope includes new doors, windows, acoustical ceilings, casework, painting, and flooring, while site work requires demolition, grading, new retaining walls, utility adjustments, concrete walkways, accessible ramps, asphalt paving, striping, and landscaping. The project is governed by construction specifications referencing Title 24 California Code of Regulations, ASTM and IAS standards, and mandates compliance with manufacturer instructions for all materials and systems. Contractors must demonstrate experience in low-voltage work with a valid California C-7 license and five years of consecutive experience, and must provide ten comparable California installations completed within the past five years. A BICSI RCDD-certified professional must be assigned full-time to the project and present on-site at least one day per week, with all personnel and service parts located within 75 air miles of the site. Manufacturers’ authorization letters and proof of current insurance, including workers’ compensation, are required. Substitutions require formal written requests submitted at least seven business days prior to bid opening, and approved shop drawings are frozen unless changed through formal negotiation. The contractor must provide 24/7 emergency response capabilities with remote diagnostics within 30 minutes and on-site technician dispatch within two hours, along with training and written and video materials for at least ten owner representatives, which become the property of the school district. Packaging must follow manufacturer guidelines, preserve products from environmental damage, and include required labels with equipment designation, drawing and section numbers, service type, flow direction, and safety warnings using plastic labels with black lettering on white or yellow backgrounds. All work is performed and accepted at the project site, with inspection responsibilities shared between the contractor and the District’s designated inspector under authority of the Division of the State Architect. No federal accounting codes or military standards apply; instead, the contract relies on construction-specific compliance and local regulatory requirements. The bid includes allowances totaling $100,000 for electrical, HVAC, and general packages, with optional alternates such as wall graphics, but no definitive total contract value can be determined from the available data. Bids must be submitted as sealed documents, obtained through the District’s online planholder registration portal, and monitored for addenda via fax
