How to bid on Laney College air compressor upgrades for Peralta CCD

What Peralta CCD is buying

Peralta Community College District is seeking bids for compressed-air system upgrades at Laney College’s Building G and Fab Lab in Oakland. The work includes expanding distribution piping and installing main piping, a manifold, air drops, overhead hose reels, and pressure regulators.

The project also includes related demolition, modifications, patching and finish repairs, coordination with campus operations, testing, and closeout. It may suit contractors with relevant plumbing and compressed-air system experience.

Key dates and the bid deadline

The solicitation was published October 14, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 21, 2026, at 1:00 PM.

Bids are due November 4, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Submit electronically through PlanetBids before the deadline; the listing states that bids must be submitted before the due date.

Who can bid

Bidders need a valid California C-36 Plumbing Contractor license, or a Class B General Building Contractor license with a designated, properly licensed C-36 subcontractor. DIR public works registration is also required.

This opportunity is relevant to contractors able to perform compressed-air piping and equipment upgrades and manage the associated demolition, repairs, testing, and campus coordination.
