Technical Specifications for General Construction - Distribution

This technical specifications document outlines requirements for the County of San Mateo Department of Public Works General Construction Job Order Contracts (JOC 2601 through JOC 2605). The County seeks up to five general construction contractors to provide comprehensive construction services including all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and resources for projects within the County's jurisdiction. Contractors must hold 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 proposal 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, with separate Job Orders and Notices to Proceed issued as warranted.

Contractors must bid six adjustment factors for different facility types and working hours using the Construction Task Catalog (CTC) with preset unit prices established by The Gordian Group. A $25,000 bid bond is required at submission, with performance and payment bonds set at the contract maximum, potentially increasing to 100% of contract value if job orders exceed $1,000,000. A 1% JOC System License Fee is payable to The Gordian Group for system use. The evaluation criterion is the lowest Award Criteria Figure, with the apparent lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder selected for each contract but excluded from consideration for successive contracts. Contractors must comply with the County's Equal Employment Opportunity requirements and Equal Benefits Ordinance, requiring equal treatment of employees with spouses and domestic partners. The contract mandates recycling and debris diversion with a minimum 50% construction and demolition debris diversion requirement.
