Burlingame Town Square Waterwall Fountain Maintenance

The City of Burlingame is soliciting bids for a one-year maintenance contract for the Town Square Waterwall Fountain located at 235 Lorton Ave, Burlingame, California. The selected contractor will be responsible for ensuring the water feature remains fully functional and maintains water quality similar to a swimming pool, remaining clear, odorless, and free of algae and mineral deposits. The scope of work includes weekly, monthly, quarterly, and occasional maintenance tasks, such as inspecting and cleaning basket strainers and providing necessary chemicals. Specifically, the contractor must use sulfuric acid for water chemistry, as muriatic acid is strictly prohibited. All work must be performed in accordance with the provided Product Literature binder and the 2010 State of California Standard Specifications. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on the total yearly cost across all maintenance sections. Eligible bidders must possess a C-61/D35 license and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Submission requirements include a bid form, statement of experience and qualifications, a non-collusion declaration, and various Public Contract Code statements. The project is subject to California prevailing wage rates and requires the contractor to provide necessary bonds and insurance upon execution. The primary point of contact for the project is Margaret Glomstad, the Parks and Recreation Director.
