This is a Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual consultant evaluation form used by San Mateo County Department of Public Works for selecting consulting services to develop a Transportation Infrastructure Adaptation and Resilience Improvement Plan. The project requires consultants to deliver a comprehensive plan addressing climate-resilient solutions for multimodal transportation systems, including roads, bridges, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrian pathways with emphasis on vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Key deliverables include an existing conditions analysis, stakeholder and public engagement plan, project prioritization criteria and ranking framework, 30% conceptual designs for 3-7 selected projects, advisory committee meeting documentation, and draft and final reports prepared for Board of Supervisors adoption. Proposals must be submitted through OpenGov's eProcurement system by March 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., with no pre-proposal conference or site visit scheduled. The anticipated contract award date is May 5, 2026, and all project work must be completed by June 30, 2027. The contract term is two years with a renewal option of up to five additional years at the County's discretion.

The evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis using the Caltrans Evaluation Form 10b criteria, which allocates 25 points for understanding of the work, 20 points for experience with similar work, 15 points for quality of staff, 10 points for capability for innovative techniques, 10 points for familiarity with state and federal procedures, 10 points for financial responsibility, and 10 points for demonstrated technical ability, for a total of 100 points.
