555 7th Street Exterior Siding Replacement

San Francisco Public Works is soliciting quotes for the exterior siding replacement of the San Francisco Public Defender’s Building located at 555 7th Street. The scope of work includes repairing and replacing exterior siding, replacing parapet coping where new cladding is installed, and replacing expansion joint covers between the building and adjacent structures, along with remediation work at the roof parapet. Because the building will remain occupied and open to the public, the contractor must implement careful coordination and mitigation controls to minimize disruption. This is an informal solicitation under the Micro-LBE Set-Aside Program, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder who submits the lowest responsive bid based on the lowest overall cost. Bidders must be licensed California contractors and provide key personnel, including a Project Manager and Superintendent, each with at least eight years of experience and a track record of managing projects valued at five hundred thousand dollars or more. Mandatory submission requirements include a safety prequalification form, noncollusion affidavit, prevailing wage and apprenticeship certifications, and a debarment and suspension certification. All quotes must be submitted as a single PDF via the designated SharePoint portal by September 2, 2026. The City of San Francisco retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance at the project site and administrative offices, with final approval based on compliance with the contract documents and technical specifications.
