The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has issued an Invitation for Bid for the procurement of a complete Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) assembly for Buildings 341 and 344 at Facility C of the Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, California. The scope of work involves providing materials to cover approximately 60,000 square feet per building, including rigid insulation, fasteners, adhesives, sealants, sheet metal products, and a ten-year manufacturer's full-system warranty. The contract also includes provisions for technical assistance, such as on-site inspection, testing, and training for staff by the manufacturer's representative. Bidders must adhere to strict technical standards, including various ASTM requirements for fire testing, water vapor transmission, and impact resistance. The basis for award is the lowest responsible bidder, with responsibility evaluated based on factors such as experience, expertise, and financial resources. Bidders must comply with specific state requirements, including California small business preferences and non-discrimination laws, and must provide various certifications such as the Bidder Declaration and Commercially Useful Function Declaration. Due to the secure nature of the facility, suppliers are responsible for ensuring all personnel obtain proper security clearances, which requires a minimum of five working days for processing and adherence to strict clothing restrictions. Materials are to be delivered FOB destination to the prison site, typically within 90 days of the notice to proceed, and must be delivered in accordance with specific packaging and labeling instructions to avoid rejection.
