Seismic Safety Compliance and Retrofit Services

The contract seeks qualified subcontractors to assess and implement seismic upgrades on existing nonresidential buildings across California to ensure compliance with state safety standards. The work involves detailed structural evaluations to identify vulnerabilities and the design and execution of retrofit measures that meet or exceed current seismic codes, with the goal of enhancing building resilience against earthquakes. All projects must align with California’s regulatory framework for earthquake safety, and contractors are expected to demonstrate technical expertise in structural engineering and retrofit methodologies tailored to older building stock. The solicitation is open for responses until May 26, 2026, under the NAICS code 238990 for other building completion services, and is issued by the California Department of General Services. While the specific locations of the buildings to be retrofitted are not listed, performance is expected statewide. The contract is structured as a subcontract, indicating that prime contractors may be engaged separately to manage broader compliance programs. Bidders must be prepared to meet stringent technical, safety, and regulatory requirements, with no set-aside provisions specified, meaning participation is open to all eligible entities regardless of size or ownership classification.
