This is a Caltrans Evaluation Form 10-B suggested consultant evaluation sheet used by San Mateo County's Department of Public Works for a Request for Proposals to develop a comprehensive Transportation Infrastructure Adaptation and Resilience Improvement Plan. The project focuses on identifying, prioritizing, and designing climate-resilient transportation infrastructure solutions for multimodal systems including roads, bridges, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrian pathways, with emphasis on vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Primary deliverables include an existing conditions analysis, stakeholder engagement plan, project prioritization criteria and ranking framework, 30% conceptual designs for 3-7 selected projects, advisory committee documentation, and draft and final reports for Board of Supervisors adoption. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of four years of similar services experience within the last seven years, with an account manager possessing at least two years of relevant experience within the last five years. Proposals must be submitted through OpenGov's eProcurement system by March 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., with contract award anticipated on May 5, 2026, and all project work to be completed by June 30, 2027. The contract is structured as a lump-sum arrangement organized by seven primary tasks with a two-year initial term and renewal option of up to five additional years at the County's discretion.

The evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis using a 100-point scale assessing understanding of work (25 points), experience with similar work (20 points), quality of staff (15 points), capability for innovative techniques (10 points), familiarity with state and federal procedures (10 points), financial responsibility (10 points), and demonstrated technical ability (10 points). San Mateo County offers procurement preference to local businesses and local non-profits under County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89, requiring self-attestation forms; however, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements do not apply to this project. The contractor will be classified as an independent contractor and must comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal laws, including prevailing wage requirements and living wage ordinances, and obtain all required licenses and permits at their own expense. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 general liability, $1,000,000 motor vehicle liability, and $1,000,000 professional liability, naming the County as additional insured. Project funding derives from state and local sources, and all work products and deliverables become the exclusive property of the County. The specific contract value is not disclosed in the available RFP documentation and will be determined during final agreement negotiations.
