Current Requests for Proposals/Qualifications

Click here for PlanetBids access to register for District project documents.

The District has adopted the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA), which governs public works procurements. Under the Act, the District maintains a list of contractors identified by work category. Once a contractor is established on the District's Qualified Contractor List, the contractor will be notified of informal bidding projects between $60,000 and $200,000.

Vendors who are interested in being included on the District's Qualified Contractor List for informal bidding of public works projects should complete the New Vendor Registration located in our PlanetBids Portal. Vendors will automatically get prompted to renew/update their information each calendar year.

Please keep in mind that it is the vendor's responsibility to provide any updates to the vendor's address, contact persons, and contact information to the District to avoid misdirected communication.

For additional information, please contact the Purchasing Department at purchasing@ltcc.edu.

It should be noted that SB 854 became effective July 1, 2014, and requires contractors to register with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) prior to bidding or performing work on public works and/or repair and maintenance projects.

• $25,000 for new construction, alteration, installation, demolition or repair

• $15,000 for maintenance

The completion of the above-mentioned Contractor Application Form does not fulfill the DIR requirement. For information regarding SB 854, please visit https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorksLawsRegsDetDec.html.
