Asbestos Abatement w/ Hazardous Materials Job Order Contracts (JOC 2720 and 2721) - Class C21/C22 License

San Mateo County Department of Public Works is soliciting up to two contractors for asbestos abatement with hazardous materials job order contracts (JOC 2720 and 2721) requiring Class C21/C22 licensing, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference on November 18, 2026 and proposals due December 10, 2026. Bidders must maintain a staffed office within San Mateo County or within 55 miles of Redwood City, and must hold California licensure and be registered in SAM.gov.

Qualifying bidders need at least five years of continuous experience as prime contractor on comparable municipal projects and at least three completed comparable projects. The work covers all labor, materials, tools, and equipment for asbestos abatement and hazardous materials work, performed primarily within a designated County area, with authority to extend to any County facility. Contractors must bid seven adjustment factors tied to facility types and working hours, plus a PLA Compliance Adjustment Factor for projects at or above the $3.0 million Project Labor Agreement threshold effective July 1, 2026. Prevailing wage applies under the California Labor Code. Successful contractors must use the County's Procore platform for communications, submittals, and payment workflows, and pay a 1 percent JOC System License Fee for access to the Gordian JOC Solution platform.

Each agreement carries an aggregate fiscal obligation not to exceed $1.0 million over a maximum term of one year, with no minimum contract value guaranteed. The attached bid notice summary states a maximum contract value of $3.0 million for each JOC. Separate job orders and notices to proceed will be issued as warranted. The apparent lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder is selected for the first contract and excluded from consideration for successive contracts.

Bids require a $25,000 certified cashier's check or bid bond. Initial performance and payment bonds of $250,000 each are required upon award, increasing to 100 percent of the maximum contract value if aggregate job orders exceed $1.0 million. Questions and contract exceptions are due November 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., and the anticipated award date is January 26, 2027. Proposals are submitted through OpenGov by 2:00 p.m. on December 10, 2026.
