About this file
This is a Q&A document for RFP Bid No. 2024-003 issued by the San Gabriel & Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) for artistic services related to mosaic design, fabrication, and installation. The RFP was released on November 14, 2024, with questions due within seven business days of advertisement. The project has a firm installation deadline of April 1, 2025, with no extensions possible. The scope requires the contractor to submit qualifications including up to ten projects, with five completed within the past five years. The work involves installing mosaic artwork on a horizontal concrete slab substrate with a 1-inch recess to accommodate tile and mortar setting bed.
The anticipated budget for the contract is $30,000, inclusive of materials and labor, though this amount is not binding and may be amended during negotiations. The selection process awards up to 30 points for the lowest cost proposal, but final selection will be based on the highest overall score combining technical and cost proposal scores. Evaluation factors include reasonableness, bid estimates, hourly rates, administrative/subconsultant markup, and timeline feasibility. If negotiations with the highest-scoring proposer fail, RMC will proceed with the next highest-scoring bidder.
