California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide on‑call, fully‑operated rental of one self‑propelled asphalt grinder and one self‑propelled concrete profile grinder across eight counties. The contractor must be able to deliver equipment within 72 hours of a service request, maintain 24/7 availability, and supply all labor, fuel, maintenance, insurance, and required permits. No subcontracting is allowed; the prime must own the equipment and staff. The contract is estimated to run from June 1 2027 through May 31 2030, with service requests limited to three‑month periods. Bidders must hold a current Motor Carrier Permit, DIR registration, and an appropriate CSLB license (Class A or C‑12) and meet small‑business/DVBE preference criteria if applicable.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract ceiling, but based on renting two large grinders with 24/7 on‑call support for three years, a reasonable estimate ranges from roughly $500 k for a modest operation to $1.5 M for a higher‑priced, fully staffed solution. Factors influencing the final amount include the unit rates quoted for weekday and weekend shifts, fuel and travel costs, insurance/bond premiums, and any applicable small‑business or DVBE preferences.
