This image file is a photograph supporting the Flood Park Restroom A Sewer Line Replacement Request for Proposals issued by the County of San Mateo Parks Department in California. The image depicts a sewer line cleanout, which is directly relevant to the project scope requiring installation of a cleanout at the adobe building connection as part of the sewer line replacement work. The photograph serves as a visual reference for the type of infrastructure component that proposers will be required to install during project execution. 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, including demolition, excavation, installation via directional boring or open trench methods, and reconnection of two lateral lines. 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 via the County's eProcurement portal by February 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The contract term is one year.

Evaluation shall be based on price as the sole criterion, with the County of San Mateo's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance providing preferences to local businesses and non-profits, including an additional 3 percent preference for small businesses or small non-profits and 5 percent for micro businesses or micro non-profits applied to the 25-point price evaluation criterion. No incumbent vendor is identified in the procurement documents. Minimum qualifications require proposers to have provided similar services for at least four years within the last seven years, confirmation of non-debarred status in SAM.gov, and a valid UEI number. All work must comply with California Plumbing Code, ASTM standards, OSHA safety regulations, and prevailing wage requirements for public works projects and the County's Living Wage Ordinance. Contractors must 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 or budget range is not disclosed; however, the County has provided contract templates for both agreements exceeding and under $200,000, suggesting the project value may fall within either range.
