2nd and El Camino Garage Stair Improvements

The City of San Mateo is soliciting bids for the 2nd and El Camino Garage Stair Improvements project, identified as City Project No. 461001-1003-46220. The scope of work involves the renovation of stair systems within a functioning parking garage, including the demolition of existing components, installation of pre-cast concrete treads, repairs to stair landing decks, and the painting of tube steel stringers and handrails. An additive alternate was introduced via Addendum No. 01 for the furnishing and installation of new handrails conforming to the 2016 California Building Code Section 1014 at three specific locations. The estimated construction cost for the project is 90,000 dollars, which includes a 20,000 dollar allowance for unforeseen conditions. The contract is expected to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder based on price and qualifications, including safety records and the ability to perform. Successful bidders must be licensed California Contractors and registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations. Key requirements include a 90-calendar-day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, a two-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and the provision of performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Contractors must adhere to California prevailing wage laws, maintain specific insurance coverages, and perform at least 50 percent of the contract value with their own forces. Final deliverables include three hard copies and one electronic version of as-built drawings and maintenance manuals.
