Llrc Secondary Data Center At Cypress College

The project involves constructing a secondary data center within the Learning Resource Center at Cypress College, California, under Bid #2627-01, with an estimated value of $375,000 and a strict 180-calendar-day completion timeline. The scope encompasses all aspects of general construction, including electrical power distribution, specialized HVAC and cooling systems, fire suppression, and low-voltage data infrastructure, all required to meet operational data center standards. The contractor must comply with prevailing wage laws, DIR registration, and DSA requirements, and is responsible for coordinating with the Architect, submitting approved shop drawings, product data, and physical samples that conform to ASTM, ANSI, and Federal Standards. All work must be performed at the designated site in Cypress, CA, with zip code 90630, and the contractor must ensure full compliance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act for financial record-keeping and audit readiness. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PlanetBids portal by August 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST, and the Bid Bond must be physically delivered to the District’s Purchasing Department at the same deadline. Proposals are evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) framework, where responsiveness and responsibility are threshold criteria—any non-compliant submission, incomplete forms, or failure to include required certifications such as the Non-Collusion Declaration, DVBE Statement, and Iran Contracting Act Certification will result in rejection. The award will be based solely on the lowest base bid, excluding alternate items. The contractor must provide Payment and Performance Bonds, a Payment Bond, comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and may be required to secure subcontractor bonds. Final acceptance occurs at the project site upon Substantial or Final Completion and does not include use or occupancy by the District. The contract imposes strict penalties for delays through liquidated damages and requires immediate reporting of hazardous materials, with indemnification clauses holding the contractor fully liable for claims arising from their work. All documentation must be clearly labeled, referenced to specification sections, and submitted in PDF format, with electronic signatures permitted through the PlanetBids system.
