As-Needed Plumbing Services

The County of Santa Clara Procurement Department is soliciting electronic bids for As-Needed Plumbing Services, categorized as a Public Work project requiring prevailing wage payment. The procurement opportunity, identified as ITB-PRC-FY26-0407, seeks a contractor to provide countywide plumbing services, which will involve comprehensive labor, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies necessary to complete specified work. Bidders must possess a valid C-36 Plumbing Contractor's License issued by the Contractor's State License Board at the time of bid submission. Electronic bids must be submitted through Biddingo prior to 3:00 PM on October 29, 2025, with an accompanying bid bond or security representing no less than 10% of the total aggregate bid price. Bid opening will be conducted via video teleconference on the due date, and contractors are required to submit the original bid bond either by mail or hand delivery to the Procurement Department in San Jose, California. Successful bidders must be prepared to provide all necessary resources to execute plumbing services across Santa Clara County.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the contract appears open to qualified plumbing contractors meeting the licensing and bonding requirements. The bid requires a C-36 Plumbing Contractor's License, which inherently limits participation to professionally licensed entities. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability through the required 10% bid bond and have the capacity to perform countywide plumbing services. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the "As-Needed" designation suggests potential for multiple task orders or ongoing service requirements. The procurement approach indicates the County anticipates establishing a pool of qualified contractors from which they can draw for specific plumbing service needs, potentially allowing for multiple contract awards or a multi-year service arrangement. Interested contractors should carefully review the complete bid documentation and ensure compliance with all technical and administrative requirements.
