Construction Services Section understands the importance of quality service that meets the customer's needs. Nearly half of contract construction services and all direct construction services are provided to customer agencies who have alternative sources of service. Customers and contractors are encouraged to contact the persons listed below regarding current on-going services and the Asset Management Branch at (916) 376-1800 when requesting new service.
 
The Construction Services Section is comprised of two functional sections. They are:
  • Construction Management/Inspection
  • Direct Construction
Services
CSS offers a full range of construction phase services for state public works projects. These services include:
  • Construction Management
  • Quality Assurance Inspection and Testing
  • Code inspection to ensure compliance with applicable building codes and regulations
  • After-Contract Guarantee enforcement and dispute resolution
  • Direct Construction Services
  • Rapid Design and Construction
Any combination of construction phase services is available to agencies that administer their own construction programs. Services are tailored to suit the strengths and weaknesses of the client agency's support staff, operational needs, scheduling requirements, budgetary constraints, and project sensitivity.
 
CSS offers Direct Construction Services for projects meeting the criteria specified in (Section 10122 of the Public Contract Code). Project criteria include cases of emergency involving damage to a state owned facility or instances in which the Director of General Services or his delegated representative has deemed contracting the work to be contrary to the best interests of the state. Work for which time is of the essence in order to maintain vital state operations, work around sensitive or secure facilities not suitable for contracting, and work with an undefined scope or unusual working conditions are normally considered to meet the criteria.
