Description

The Orange County Superintendent of Schools is seeking pre‑qualified Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) subcontractors to work on the Rancho Sonado school construction project (lease‑leaseback delivery) located in Silverado, CA. Interested firms must submit a detailed pre‑qualification questionnaire, proof of licensing, insurance, bonding capacity, and recent financial statements. Submissions must be received at least ten business days before the public bid opening, and qualified firms will be notified five business days prior to that opening. The pre‑qualification rating is valid for one year, after which re‑qualification is required. This process is a prerequisite to be allowed to bid on any portion of the construction work. • Eligible firms must hold a valid California C‑4, C‑7, C‑10, C‑16, C‑20, C‑34, C‑36, C‑38, C‑42, C‑43, or C‑46 contractor’s license. • Required documentation includes liability insurance ($1 M per occurrence, $2 M aggregate), workers‑comp coverage, a notarized bonding‑capacity statement, and audited or current financial statements. • All submissions are electronic (email to Patricia McCaughey and Cindy Leighton) with a sealed hard‑copy option if needed.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical MEP subcontract scopes for a K‑12 school campus (including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems), total subcontract spend can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars, depending on project size and complexity. A reasonable ball‑park estimate for the award amount is between $500,000 and $5,000,000. Factors influencing the range include the overall square footage of the campus, the extent of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical upgrades, and the prevailing‑wage requirements for public‑school construction in California.
