RP5 Storage Building Improvements

The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) is soliciting firm-fixed bid prices for a turnkey project to improve Warehouse 1 at Regional Plant No. 5 in Chino, California. The scope of work involves the design, engineering, permitting, and installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system and a welded steel pallet racking system to convert the approximately 4,200 square foot facility into a code-compliant, seismically engineered storage area. The engineer's estimate for the project is 377,000 dollars. Award will be based on the lowest overall total cost, provided the bidder holds a valid California contractor's license, specifically Class A or B for racking installation and C-16 for fire protection subcontractors. Bids must be submitted via the PlanetBids system by December 17, 2026, and must include a 10 percent bid bond, a signed cover letter, and various certifications including non-collusion, CARB, and public works registration. The selected contractor will be responsible for all materials, installation, and site cleanup, adhering to the 2024 GreenBook standards. Project completion requires final acceptance by IEUA and the City of Chino following a punch list walk-through. Post-award requirements include securing insurance and bonds within 10 days and submitting a construction schedule and schedule of values within 30 days. Payments will be made within 30 days of receiving an approved invoice from the Project Manager.
