Disaster Debris Removal Contracts
State of California’s Consolidated Debris Removal and Hazard Tree Removal Program
CalRecycle is frequently mission tasked by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to manage a program that coordinates structural disaster debris and hazardous tree removal operations. Contractors interested can obtain information on contract solicitations specific to disaster debris and hazard tree removal services and other disaster-related emergency projects.
To maximize readiness for future disasters, CalRecycle invites contractors to prequalify and tell us about their capabilities and experience.

Disaster Debris and Hazard Tree Removal Services- Prequalification List
To increase efficiency and deploy clean-up crews as quickly as possible after a disaster, CalRecycle is now prequalifying contractors.
The process has two stages:
- Stage 1 of solicitation is to prequalify.
- Stage 2 happens when an incident occurs.
- CalRecycle will provide prequalified contractors with an incident-specific scope of work so that contractors may submit bids.
Interactive Map of Prequalified Contractors
This interactive GIS map highlights prequalified contractors to encourage partnerships, joint ventures, and contractor-subcontractor relationships. Users can quickly identify who is prequalified to work in different regions throughout the state.

Stage 1
In Stage 1 CalRecycle accepts prequalification application packages through the online submittal portal on an ongoing basis.
CalRecycle transitioned to an electronic bid platform to improve both the prequalification process and the Request for Bid.
For questions on the new system, support, or guidance, contact CalRecycle contracts at contracts@calrecycle.ca.gov.
- Contractors will submit prequalification application packages for specific categories and regions for either:
- The debris removal function
- The hazard tree removal function
- Or both
- Since incidents happen without warning, contractors are advised to submit applications as soon as possible.
- CalRecycle will post a notice on this page to notify all interested parties not previously prequalified that they may submit a prequalification application package within five (5) days.
- Contractors whose prequalification application packages are received beyond five (5) days will not be eligible to participate in Stage 2 for the noticed incident
