This is a project photograph related to a Request for Proposals issued by the County of San Mateo Parks Department for the Flood Park Restroom A Sewer Line Replacement project. The image depicts the beginning of the replacement work on the sewer line, showing the initial phase of the infrastructure project at Flood Park.

The project encompasses the complete replacement of approximately 130 linear feet of failing 6-inch vitrified clay pipe with new HDPE or PVC SDR 35 pipe. Work includes demolition, excavation, installation via directional boring or open trench methods, reconnection of two lateral lines serving an adobe building and a public restroom facility, cleanout installation, and connection to the existing downstream manhole with minimum 1 percent slope. All work must comply with California Plumbing Code, ASTM standards, and OSHA safety regulations, with completion required within 60 days of start date during operating hours of 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Flood Park, with questions and contract exceptions due by February 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM and proposals due electronically by February 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The contract term is one year with evaluation based on price as the sole criterion.

Proposers must have provided similar services for at least four years within the last seven years and maintain confirmation of non-debarred status in SAM.gov. The County of San Mateo has adopted a Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance providing up to 5 percent preference for micro businesses or micro non-profits applied to the price evaluation criterion. Contractors are required to comply with prevailing wage requirements and the County's Living Wage Ordinance, maintain workers' compensation insurance with statutory coverage, general liability insurance of $1,000,000, motor vehicle liability insurance of $1,000,000, and professional liability insurance of $1,000,000, naming the County as an additional insured. The specific award value is not disclosed; however, the County has provided contract templates for both agreements exceeding and under $200,000.
