IFB No. 126179

The solicitation IFB No. 126179 issued by the California Employment Development Department on behalf of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board (CUIAB) seeks bids for security camera installation and server upgrade services at multiple CUIAB facilities across California. The contract covers the installation of Avigilon rack-mounted appliances and ceiling-mounted Sarix security cameras at 17 specified locations, including cities such as Oxnard, Pasadena, and San Jose. The contractor is responsible for programming and installing viewing stations, performing ongoing maintenance and repairs, and conducting final walk-throughs with the CUIAB representatives to ensure a clean, fully operational installation with minimal disruption to building operations. The term of performance runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, under a firm fixed price solicitation with award based on the lowest responsible bidder who meets all technical and administrative requirements. The contract incorporates a range of California-specific contractor certification clauses focused on compliance areas such as drug-free workplace, labor codes, Americans with Disabilities Act, sweatfree code of conduct, and domestic partner nondiscrimination policies, applying variously depending on contract value and entity type. While no standard federal FAR clauses or price breakdown line items are included, the proposal requires bidders to submit detailed documentation including cost proposals by facility, multiple certification forms, and attestations regarding status (e.g., DVBE, small business). Evaluation is performed on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis with a 5% price preference available for certified small businesses. Special contract provisions address worksite security, asbestos handling restrictions, independent internet provision for equipment, and compliance with safety and building codes, while requiring licensed electricians (C-7 or C-10). Inspection and acceptance take place on-site with the CUIAB representative verifying workmanship, compliance, and operational readiness of installed systems before final approval and payment. The bid submission deadline is May 27, 2026, with offers required to be complete, signed originals, and responsive to the solicitation’s administrative, technical, and certification requirements.
