Bids must be submitted in paper format by June 11, 2026, to the specified Sacramento address; electronic submissions, including email and fax, are not accepted.

Recycling obligations under SB 1383 and the Electronic Waste Recycling Act are mandatory, and all materials must be clearly labeled with “or equal” unless a specific brand is justified for safety or compatibility. All submissions must include completed certifications, the Bidder Declaration, contractor references, and signed compliance forms, with the contractor ultimately assuming full liability for all performed work and any subcontractor activities.
