The County of San Mateo is requesting sealed bids on the Junipero Serra Park Paving Project, a park access road and parking lot resurfacing comprising approximately 0.90 miles across multiple picnic areas, with bids due July 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a questions deadline of July 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

Bidders must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and hold either a Class A License or applicable Class C licenses — a mandatory capability gate. Prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code sections 1770 and 1810 apply to all work.

The scope includes crack seal and slurry seal on existing pavement, removal and replacement of asphalt and concrete, parking lot and roadway striping, concrete sidewalk pads for accessible parking stalls, parking bumpers, signage, water management, traffic control, and stormwater pollution prevention. Work spans the Buckeye, Meadow View, Bay View, De Anza, Willow, and Knoll Loop picnic areas. The contract structure offers a base bid ($470,000 estimated) and three additive alternatives ($65,000, $145,000, and $265,000 estimated respectively), with the County reserving discretion to award the base bid alone or in combination with one or more alternates depending on funding availability. The total engineer's estimate for base bid and all additive alternatives is $945,000.

Contractors must begin work within ten calendar days of Notice to Proceed and complete all work within twenty working days, or extended timelines if additive alternatives are awarded. Liquidated damages of $3,500 per calendar day apply for delays beyond prescribed working days. The County will retain five percent of estimated work value as security until final completion. Contractors must submit a baseline project schedule within five working days of Notice to Proceed and provide monthly updates. The anticipated contract award date is August 11, 2026.
