This is an Anti-Trust Laws Questionnaire associated with the County of San Mateo Department of Public Works' Job Order Contract solicitation for asbestos abatement and hazardous materials management services across county facilities. The questionnaire is a mandatory compliance document required to be submitted with all bids for projects JOC 2619, 2620, and 2621. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 10:00 am, with proposal questions due by November 12, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Final proposals are due December 10, 2025, at 2:00 pm via the eProcurement system, with bid opening at 2:15 pm via Microsoft Teams. The County anticipates bringing up to three contractors under contract for services with an aggregate fiscal obligation not to exceed $3,000,000 per agreement during a maximum individual term of one year, with separate Job Orders-Notice to Proceed issued as warranted.

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, and to confirm whether alternative sources for subcontractor bids were obtained. Bidders must also certify that they have not been threatened with subcontractor boycotts, union boycotts, or other sanctions to convince them to use bid depository services or abide by specific rules. The questionnaire is part of California Attorney General's Office compliance requirements regarding California and Federal Anti-Trust Laws and must be completed in full and submitted with each bid. Contractors selected as the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder will be excluded from consideration for successive contracts to ensure competitive rotation and prevent any single contractor from monopolizing available work.
