This is a project specification image related to an electrical utility transformer and door replacement request for proposal issued by the San Mateo County Parks Department. The image depicts a transformer unit with rust and deterioration, illustrating the condition of the existing infrastructure that requires replacement at Coyote Point Recreation Area in San Mateo County, California. The project involves the removal and replacement of a high-voltage electrical transformer and a single door on a separate transformer unit, both located along the Promenade Trail within the recreation area. A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Coyote Point Recreation Area, with proposals due by October 29, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. The anticipated contract award date is November 13, 2025, with a contract term of six months.

The evaluation criteria are exclusively price-based, with 100% of scoring focused on the proposed fee. Proposers must meet minimum qualifications, including providing similar services for at least four years within the last seven years and employing an account manager with two years of experience in account services. The San Mateo County Parks Department has implemented a Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance that may provide advantages to local businesses, non-profits, and small or micro businesses located in San Mateo County. The RFP is being conducted as a Cooperative Procurement, allowing other organizations to potentially utilize the resulting contract terms. The contract will be executed using either the Standard Contract Template for Over $200K or Under $200K, depending on the final proposal amount, with liability insurance coverage set at $1,000,000. The project addresses safety concerns and improves infrastructure reliability related to the deteriorated transformer enclosure demonstrating significant rust beyond its service life.
