Public RFP go/no-go in California

Bid boards and portals show California opportunities. RFPCheck helps after you have the PDF — deciding GO / CAUTION / NO-GO before takeoff hours.

Common California bid portals

  • Cal eProcure (state)
  • Local PlanetBids / BidNet / agency portals

Portal lists change. Confirm the portal named in the solicitation.

Diversity / disadvantaged programs

  • CUCP DBE
  • DGS SB / Microbusiness
  • DVBE

Prevailing wage

State prevailing-wage law (plus federal when funded)

Among the strictest prevailing-wage regimes (DIR). Electronic certified payroll (eCPR) often required. Dual federal/state rates → pay the higher.

Licensing notes (California)

CSLB licensing is mandatory for almost all construction; classification (A/B/C) must match work. Unlicensed bidding is a hard NO-GO.

California watchouts for go/no-go

  • DIR registration for public works
  • DVBE / SB preferences and good-faith docs
  • Liquidated damages and stop-notice exposure
  • Skilled & Trained Workforce / apprenticeship language
