SKILLED TRADE TEMPORARY LABOR SERVICES

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California seeks qualified firms to provide on‑call, supplemental skilled‑trade temporary labor across its service area. The contractor will act as an employment‑agency partner, supplying workers such as electricians, pipefitters, heavy‑equipment operators, welders, and other construction‑related trades on a rapid‑response basis. Work is performed under individual task orders, with no guaranteed volume, and the agreement may be renewed up to five total years pending annual appropriations. The contractor must meet extensive insurance, background‑check, training, and SBE/DVBE participation requirements, and submit detailed hourly invoices for net‑30 payment. • Provide temporary skilled‑trade labor (construction, electrical, plumbing, heavy equipment, etc.) on an as‑needed basis at multiple MWD sites. • Must acknowledge labor requests within 2 hours and have workers on‑site within 24 hours; background checks, OSHA‑30, and site‑specific safety orientation are mandatory. • Required insurance minimums (GL $1M/$2M, Auto $1M, PL $1M/$2M, Workers’ Comp statutory + $1M EL) and annual ACORD certificate; SBE/DVBE utilization reporting monthly. • Submit separate technical and cost files electronically via PlanetBids by 10 a.m. Feb 18 2026; questions due by Jan 15 2026.
