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 sewer line replacement work at the project site, showing the excavation and preparation phase of the infrastructure improvement initiative.

The County seeks a qualified contractor to replace approximately 130 linear feet of failing 6-inch vitrified clay pipe with new HDPE or PVC SDR 35 pipe, including demolition, excavation, installation via directional boring or open trench methods, reconnection of two lateral lines, cleanout installation, and manhole connection. The project encompasses 16 line items covering mobilization, traffic control, utility locates, demolition, excavation, pipe installation, slope verification, lateral reconnections, cleanout installation, manhole connection, testing, surface restoration, and closeout documentation. The work serves both an adobe building with toilet and sink facilities and a public restroom with two sinks, four toilets, and two urinals. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Flood Park, with a deadline for questions and contract exceptions of February 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM, and proposals due electronically by February 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM. All work must be completed within 60 days from the start date, conducted between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and comply with California Plumbing Code, ASTM standards, and OSHA safety regulations.

Evaluation shall be based on price as the sole criterion, with the County applying a Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance providing 3 percent preference for small businesses and 5 percent for micro businesses. Proposers must demonstrate four years of similar services within the last seven years, confirm non-debarred status in SAM.gov, and maintain a valid UEI number. Required insurance includes workers' compensation with statutory coverage, general liability of $1,000,000, motor vehicle liability of $1,000,000, and professional liability of $1,000,000. All work must comply with prevailing wage requirements and the County's Living Wage Ordinance. The contract term is one year, with no incumbent vendor identified. The specific award value is not disclosed; however, the County has provided contract templates for both agreements exceeding $200,000 and contracts under $200,000.
