NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Irvine Unified School District of Orange County,

has determined that all bidders for the Eastwood Elementary School Classroom Villa Expansion

2024 (“Project”) must be prequalified in accordance with Public Contract Code section 20111.6

prior to submitting a bid on the Project. Any contractor that has not prequalified* on a

DISTRICT project in accordance with Public Contract Code section 20111.6 within the past

twelve (12) months and is interested in bidding on the project, must submit a Prequalification

Questionnaire Package online to PQBids at https://pqbids.com/irvine-usd/ by the date and time

indicated herein.

PREQUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE PACKAGE DEADLINE:

2:00 p.m. of the 5th day of March 2024*

*Any contractor that has prequalified with the DISTRICT in accordance with Public Contract

Code section 20111.6 within the past twelve (12) months may satisfy the prequalification

requirements for this project if its earlier Prequalification Questionnaire package was approved

for the same or appropriate license requirement, and the contractor’s total base bid and alternates

amount for this Project does not exceed their prequalified bid amount which is equal to fifty

percent (50%) of the contractors bonding capacity. Bidders are solely responsible to verify with

the DISTRICT whether they are properly prequalified to submit a bid for this Project.

Since this Project includes work that will be performed by Mechanical, Electrical, or Plumbing

(“MEP”) contractors (contractors that require C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42,

C-43 or C-46 licenses), such MEP subcontractors must also be prequalified. A list of

prequalified MEP subcontractors will be made available by the DISTRICT to all bidders at least

five business days prior to the bid opening date.

If a contractor has been prequalified, they are discouraged from renewing their prequalification

status between March 6, 2024, and March 13, 2024. An attempt to renew during this period, will

remove the contractor from the approved list of prequalified contractors.

A contractor’s bid for the Eastwood Elementary School Villa Classroom Expansion 2024

project WILL NOT be accepted unless the contractor is properly prequalified.

BID DEADLINE: 2:00 p.m. of the 26th day of March 2024
