    Description

    The County of San Mateo (“County”) covers most of the San Francisco Peninsula. The region covers 744 mi2 and is home to approximately 750,000 residents. The County is made up of 20 incorporated cities. The County provides for the health and welfare of all people within its borders and serves as the local government for the unincorporated areas. Innovation thrives here in industries including bioscience, computer software, green technology, hospitality, financial management, health care, education, and transportation. The County prides itself on how that prosperity fosters its commitment to protecting and enhancing the health, safety, welfare, and natural resources of the community.

    The San Mateo County Parks Department (“Department”) serves nearly three million visitors every year. Visitors have many options when visiting the County’s unique park system. With 24 parks and recreation areas, over 16,000 acres of park land, and 190 miles of trail, the Department provides healthy outdoor activities, educational opportunities, and lasting memories.

    Due to the diversity of the park system, visitors can enjoy an array of recreational opportunities, including walking; running; hiking; biking; picnicking; horseback riding; sailing; kite surfing; fishing; camping; gardening; tidepooling; volunteering; learning; sports courts; and playing on playgrounds.

    Background

    To support the Department's network of park facilities and associated water, wastewater, septic, and utility systems, the Department is soliciting qualified licensed plumbing and utility contractors to provide on-call services for ongoing maintenance, repair, and occasional emergency response. Work will be issued on an as-needed basis through individual Task Orders, which will define the scope, schedule, and authorized cost for each assignment.

    Services may include, but are not limited to, plumbing repairs, wastewater system maintenance, hydro-flushing, video inspection, utility locating, and related infrastructure work at park facilities. Contractors must also be capable of responding to emergency service requests when required.
