Description
The California High‑Speed Rail Authority is issuing a follow‑on RFP to add qualified firms to its existing Multiple‑Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for repair, minor construction, and utility relocation work across six Central California counties (Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Tulare). The solicitation creates two contractor pools – a small‑business pool and a utility‑relocation pool – with a $20 million ceiling per individual task order and an average expected award size of roughly $2 million. The contract is a five‑year IDIQ vehicle; firms must hold a valid California contractor’s license, provide performance and payment bonds, and meet extensive small‑business, DBE/DVBE, Buy‑America, safety, and environmental compliance requirements. The opportunity is open to large firms and qualified small‑business entities, offering a pathway to future work on high‑speed rail infrastructure.
• Scope includes repair, minor construction, road/railway work, utility relocation, and related design‑build or design‑bid‑build services.
• Mandatory bonding: 50 % performance bond, 100 % payment bond; surety must be A‑VII rated.
• Small‑business participation goal of 25 % (including DBE/DVBE goals) and strict certification requirements.
• Pre‑bid virtual conference (11 Nov 2026, non‑mandatory) and in‑person Shaw Avenue site visit (29 Oct 2026, optional).
