This is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Certification of Compliance form for the General Construction Job Order Contracts (JOC 2701-2706) procurement by the Department of Public Works serving San Mateo County and San Bernardino City, California. The certification document establishes compliance requirements for contractors bidding on these Class B License general construction contracts, which involve providing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and other items required by the Contract Documents as directed by the Director of Public Works or designee. The Department intends to award up to six separate contracts with an aggregate fiscal obligation not to exceed $6.0 million per agreement over a maximum individual term of one year, with responses due by December 10, 2026. Work will be performed within designated areas of the County, though the Owner reserves the right to direct contractors to any location or facility under its jurisdiction. Separate Job Orders and Notices to Proceed will be issued as warranted, with the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder selected for each JOC and excluded from consideration for successive contracts.

The EEO certification form ensures that bidders comply with federal and state equal employment opportunity laws and regulations applicable to public works construction projects. Contractors must certify their commitment to non-discrimination in hiring, employment practices, and working conditions. This compliance documentation is a mandatory submission requirement for bid consideration and reflects California's prevailing wage and equal opportunity mandates for publicly funded construction work. The form serves as part of the contract administration process to verify that selected contractors maintain compliance with established EEO standards throughout the contract term.
