_H_Anti-Trust_Laws_Questionnaire_General_Construction.pdf

This is an Anti-Trust Laws Questionnaire submitted with bids for Job Order Contracts for General Construction issued by the County of San Mateo Department of Public Works for projects numbered JOC 2601 through JOC 2605. The County seeks up to five general construction contractors to provide comprehensive labor, materials, tools, equipment, and resources for construction projects throughout San Mateo County. Contractors must possess a 'B' license, maintain a local office within 55 miles of Redwood City, and demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous experience on municipal projects. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 10:00 am, with bid submissions due December 10, 2025, by 2:00 pm. The contract term is one year with a maximum aggregate fiscal obligation of $6,000,000 per agreement, and the apparent lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder will be selected for each JOC but excluded from consideration for successive contracts.

The questionnaire requires bidders to disclose whether bid depository or registry services were used to obtain subcontractor bid figures, to identify any subcontractors utilizing such services, to confirm alternative sources for subcontractor bids, and to report any threats or sanctions related to bid depositories, union boycotts, or other coercive practices. Bidders must submit a $25,000 bid bond and obtain performance and payment bonds, which may increase to 100% of contract value if job orders exceed $1,000,000. Contractors are required to comply with non-discrimination policies, submit detailed Equal Employment Opportunity programs, and demonstrate compliance with the County's Equal Benefits Ordinance. A 1% JOC System License Fee is payable to The Gordian Group, and contractors must divert at least 50% of construction and demolition debris through recycling initiatives. The questionnaire emphasizes compliance with California and Federal Anti-Trust Laws as mandated by the State Attorney General's Office.
