Code Enforcement Abatements

Sacramento County is soliciting responses to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Code Enforcement Abatements through its Community Services Agency's Community Development Department, Code Enforcement Division. The procurement seeks to establish an on-call hiring list of qualified contractors to perform complex abatement services, primarily focused on nuisance abatements including junk and rubbish removal and weed elimination throughout Sacramento County. Contractors must possess specific California contractor's licenses, including Class A, B, C-61, D-49, and D-69, and be registered with the California State License Board. The RFQ requires electronic proposal submissions through OpenGov Procurement, with a due date of June 17, 2022. Evaluation criteria will assess contractors' ability, capacity, skill, safety performance, character, integrity, reputation, and efficiency. Contractors must be prepared to accept assigned projects without right of refusal based on size or location, understanding that failure to accept work may result in contract termination. The proposal validity period is set at 180 days, and the County reserves the right to reject any bids and make awards that best serve county interests.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be an on-call services agreement with an initial term ending June 30, 2025, and potential one-year extensions subject to fund availability. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the sample agreement indicates that compensation will be determined on a per-project basis, with contractors required to submit detailed written proposals and cost estimates for specific abatement tasks. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive insurance coverage, including various liability insurances with specified minimum coverage limits. The County intends to make multiple contract awards to ensure service demand can be met, with no guaranteed work volume for any single contractor. Invoicing will be completed on a project-by-project basis, with payments issued upon approval of proposals by the Code Enforcement Chief and successful completion of approved work. The contract allows for multiple contractors to be engaged simultaneously, with a cumulative total payment limit to be specified in the final agreement.
