Overview

Summary

This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks submittals for professional services on an on-call basis. These services include consulting needs as necessary for a variety of projects in the County. The target commencement date and term for the proposed services is October 2026, through October 2031, subject to negotiation of a final agreement.

Background

The Department of Public Works (the "Department") plans, designs, constructs, operates, and maintains facilities and equipment that are safe and accessible to the clients of County agencies, the general public and County employees. The Department advises the Board of Supervisors on all public works issues, including rates and charges for services that are fair to both the users and service providers. Public Works has a budget of approximately $300 million and is comprised of over 300 employees in five divisions: Administrative Services, Airports, Engineering and Resource Protection, Facility and Capital Projects, and Road Services. Most of the Public Works budget is funded from sources other than the County’s general fund. The budget includes federal and state funds earmarked for aviation and transportation, landfill franchise fees for waste management programs, gas taxes to maintain 316 miles of County roads, and property taxes and service charges to provide various services to the 46 special districts governed by the Board of Supervisors and administered by the Department.

The County may qualify multiple Consultants to provide Professional On-Call services and negotiate agreements with firms. When requested, the Consultant shall develop a brief proposal providing a scope of work, schedule for the work, and a fee proposal for the work. The scope of work, schedule and fee will then be negotiated. Being selected does not guarantee that a Consultant will be requested to submit on any project nor that the Consultant will receive any assignments. Consultants should note that future work assignment would be based on the quality of work product produced, timely submittal of deliverables, and the Consultants’ ability to meet staff’s expectations. The number of projects is unknown, as the volume of work assigned to Consultant is dependent on the Department staff workload and funding availability.

The not-to-exceed amount for the agreement will range from $500,000 and up to potentially $1,500,000 based on the number of categories the Consultant is awarded.

This RFP seeks the submission of proposals to provide services from any and all interested and qualified proposers. The Department, which is a part of the government of the County of San Mateo, seeks by way of this RFP to obtain the listed services in a manner that maximizes the quality of services while also maximizing value to the County and, by extension, the citizens of the County. Proposers must be able to show that they are capable of performing the services requested. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, the respondent's demonstrated competency and experience in delivering services of a similar scope and type and local availability of the proposer's personnel and equipment resources.

The Project Development and Design Engineering Section (Section) is responsible for investigating, design, review, development of standards, and computer aided drafting support associated with bridges, roadway, utilities, and facility projects. More information regarding the services provided for the Section can be obtained visiting the Department’s web site at: http://publicworks.smcgov.org
