The Department of General Services (DGS), Real Estate Services Division, Project Management and Development Branch, on behalf of the Department of Developmental Services, is soliciting sealed bids for the comprehensive rehabilitation of staff residences at the Porterville Developmental Center, located in Porterville, Tulare County, California. This procurement, identified as Contract 25-305974, Project 6803, seeks qualified contractors to undertake a wide-ranging scope of work aimed at modernizing and improving the living facilities for staff at this state-operated center. The primary objective of this project is to perform a thorough rehabilitation of existing staff residences, ensuring they meet current safety, health, and operational standards. The scope encompasses extensive demolition and abatement activities, including asbestos and lead removal, as well as universal waste disposal. Site work will involve excavation, water distribution upgrades, sanitary sewer improvements, installation of manholes, aggregate base, and concrete paving. Additional exterior work includes fencing, cast-in-place concrete, and brick masonry repair. Building envelope and structural improvements are significant components of the project, featuring re-roofing with various materials (asphalt shingles, fiber cement panels, PVC single membrane roofing), installation of thermal insulation and weather barriers, and sheet metal flashing and trim. The project also calls for comprehensive repairs and upgrades to windows and doors, including wood window repair, metal and wood door refinishing, re-hanging, and hardware replacement. Both interior and exterior architectural woodwork, carpentry, and trim are included. Interior renovations will address wall finishes (gypsum wallboard, ceramic tiling, resilient base, and tile flooring), painting, and installation of bath and laundry accessories, tub and shower doors, vertical louver blinds, residential casework, and solid surface countertops. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) upgrades are integral, covering plumbing systems and fixtures, electrical raceways, wiring, lighting controls, fixtures, transformers, panelboards, switchgear, and a television distribution system. Contractors must hold a valid California “B” General Building Contractor license to be eligible to bid.

DGS reserves the right to audit compliance at any time. The estimated construction cost for this project is $3,872,000, with a contract duration of 364 calendar days.
