How to bid on Arovista Elementary’s portable replacement for Brea Olinda Unified

What the district is buying

Brea Olinda Unified School District is seeking bids for demolition and site improvements for the Arovista Elementary School Modular Replacement and Site Improvements Project in Brea, California. The work includes preparing the site, foundations for four modular buildings, utilities, paving, accessibility improvements, fencing, landscaping and related site work.

The modular buildings will be delivered and placed by others, as will the playground equipment, playground safety surfacing and shade structure. The selected contractor must coordinate with those providers. This is an IFB, Solicitation 26-0005.

Key dates and the bid deadline

The mandatory pre-bid meeting is November 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The bid deadline is December 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET.

Submit the bid electronically through PlanetBids before the deadline. The provided information does not state what happens after the deadline, so check the solicitation documents for submission and opening details.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is for qualified Class B general building contractors with the stated licensing and registration requirements. The listing specifies CSLB B and C-15, DIR registration, City of Brea registration, and registration on the District’s contractor bidding portal.

Firms should be prepared to manage site work on an operating school campus, coordinate with separate contractors, and meet applicable prevailing wage, code and project-document requirements.

How to access and submit a bid

Use “View the original posting” to open the bid on the agency’s PlanetBids portal. The scope, dates and document list are public; PlanetBids may ask you to complete a human-verification check before the page loads.

To download documents, receive addenda and submit electronically, register a free PlanetBids vendor account with the agency. Review the listing and solicitation documents for the required bid forms and submission instructions, then submit through the portal before the deadline.

Prepare a complete, competitive response

Read the solicitation documents and addenda closely, and build your price around the work assigned to the contractor—not the modular buildings or playground and shade-structure installations that are performed by others. Plan for coordination, temporary six-foot chain-link fencing with green screening, and safe work on an operating campus.

Check that your own licensing and registrations meet the stated requirements. For each subcontractor performing more than 0.5% of the total bid, provide the required name, business location and portion of work. Confirm each listed subcontractor has the appropriate valid California license and DIR registration; missing listing information may result in rejection as nonresponsive.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid meeting, track addenda through PlanetBids, and allow time to complete the electronic submission before the deadline.
