As-Needed Painting Services

The County of San Diego is requesting quotes for as-needed painting services across multiple County facilities throughout San Diego County under RFQ, with quotes due July 27, 2026 and questions due July 15, 2026 — both before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. This RFQ is reserved exclusively for Small-Local Businesses as defined in Board Policy B-53, a restrictive eligibility gate.

The scope covers interior and exterior painting, surface preparation, repairs, maintenance, and finishing services on an on-call basis at diverse facility types including the County Administration Center, County Operations Center, office buildings, libraries, Sheriff facilities, courthouses, and health services facilities. The awardee must hold an active California Class C-33 Painting and Decorating Contractor License and current registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations throughout contract duration. Response times are non-negotiable: 24 hours for non-urgent requests and 2 hours for emergency requests. Subcontracting is permitted but cannot exceed 25 percent of annual contract value. All work must comply with prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code Section 1771 et seq. and conform to industry standards and applicable State and local building codes. Background investigations and security clearances are required before facility access.

The initial contract term runs November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through October 31, 2031. Compensation is hourly with differentiated rates for regular hours (Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.), after-hours work, Saturday work, Sunday and County-observed holidays, and emergency calls. An estimated annual materials allowance of $40,000 is provided at cost. Individual task orders will be issued on a firm fixed price or time-and-materials not-to-exceed basis, with proposals required within two business days of request.
