*Certified SB/MB/DVBE Only* Window Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance Services in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties

This contract is a solicitation issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) under solicitation number 08A4013, exclusively reserved for California-certified Small Business (SB), Minority Business (MB), or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contractors. The scope involves window repair, maintenance, and limited replacement services at designated maintenance stations in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, with an estimated performance period from September 11, 2026, through September 10, 2027. The work requires full provision of labor, tools, equipment, vehicles, and travel, with a strict mandate to inspect windows for gaps or missing components, encapsulate them with filler to form a waterproof barrier, and notify Caltrans of windows beyond repair—without assuming responsibility for full window replacement. All materials must be new, delivered in original manufacturer packaging, and bear labeling and certification from recognized testing agencies such as Factory Mutual or Underwriters Laboratory. Contract compliance demands adherence to State and local regulations, manufacturers’ instructions, and the NRCA Roofing and Waterproofing Manual, with all work subject to approval by the Caltrans Contract Manager. The solicitation requires a maximum total bid amount not exceeding $484,000.00, with pricing based on estimated quantities of 1,900 hours for scheduled work and 500 hours for unforeseen labor, plus a 10% allowance for parts, materials, and permits reimbursed upon submission of original receipts. Proposals must be submitted via email by the deadline of July 23, 2026, and must include complete, unaltered pricing sheets with no blank fields; failure to meet any requirement results in automatic rejection. Bidders must hold current DIR registration, certify compliance with prevailing wage laws if the bid exceeds $15,000, submit certified payroll records with each invoice, and provide a non-collusion declaration, DARFUR Contracting Act certification, and Civil Rights Law certification. Upon award, the contractor must submit a Payment Bond if individual service requests exceed $25,000, maintain commercial general liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate coverage, designate Caltrans and the State of California as additional insureds, and ensure all state-owned data is encrypted with AES-256 or AES-128 standards.
