As-Needed Public Works Construction Services (Signals/Lighting, Concrete/Paving, Signs/Markings)

The City of South San Francisco is soliciting qualified contractors to provide as-needed public works construction services focused on three key areas: Signals/Street Lights, Concrete/Paving, and Signs/Markings. The City plans to establish three separate contractor benches—each accommodating up to three contractors per category—to support a range of small-scale maintenance and improvement projects. These projects, issued via individual task orders on an on-call basis, typically involve minor construction, repair, and maintenance within public rights-of-way. Contractors must be able to respond promptly to time-sensitive or urgent operational and safety needs. Work performed under these contracts will be compensated according to Caltrans Equipment Rental Rates and Labor Surcharge, supplemented by fixed markups on labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracted services, with additional provisions for negotiated pricing if standard rates do not apply. This solicitation, identified by number 2026-RFQ-001 and released on June 11, 2026, is administered by the Public Works/Engineering Division of South San Francisco, California, with a submission deadline of June 25, 2026. The contract structure is designed to foster a responsive pool of experienced contractors capable of delivering high-quality, timely services on a flexible task order basis. Points of contact are provided to facilitate communication with prospective bidders. This approach allows the City to efficiently manage ongoing and emergent public works needs, ensuring essential infrastructure such as street lighting, pavement, and signage is maintained safely and effectively.
