AI Contract Overview
San Mateo County is soliciting bids for the design, engineering, procurement, programming, and installation of a Cellular Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to support the new North County Wellness Center located at 1024 Mission Road, South San Francisco, CA. The project encompasses a two-phase approach: Phase 1 includes the detailed design, RF site surveys, system engineering, submittal approvals, and equipment procurement; Phase 2 involves installation, testing, commissioning, training, and warranty services. The DAS system must deliver reliable indoor cellular coverage with a minimum signal strength of -85 dBm across all occupied areas, support multiple wireless carriers, and allow for a 35% capacity growth margin. Coordination with cellular carriers, compliance with FCC regulations (47 CFR Part 20), NEC standards, structural and seismic codes, and adherence to carrier-specific requirements are integral to the scope. The project will be undertaken under a contract term running from 2025 to 2027, governed by a standard County of San Mateo contract template that includes indemnification, insurance, intellectual property rights ownership by the County, and termination clauses. Electronic bids are due by January 5, 2026, following a mandatory pre-bid meeting on December 16, 2025. The evaluation of proposals will employ a best-value trade-off approach, emphasizing technical merit, qualifications, and price. The primary evaluation factors include Project Approach (30%), Interview (20%), Price (20%), Firm Qualifications (15%), and Team Qualifications (15%). The County requires detailed technical proposals limited to 19 pages in total, with specific page limits per section, and mandates use of the OpenGov electronic portal for submissions. Deliverables include comprehensive RF design documents, system test and verification reports, and fully compliant installation as verified through inspections and acceptance testing at the Wellness Center site. The contract specifies FOB destination shipping, with delivery and acceptance occurring onsite. Special contract requirements include comprehensive insurance coverage extending to subcontractors, cybersecurity mandates, rigorous indemnity provisions, and ongoing audit rights for five years post-contract. The contract also mandates strict compliance with non-discrimination laws and hazardous materials management. While pricing line items are defined for design, equipment, installation, commissioning, warranty options, and potential add-ons such as FirstNet coverage, no fixed contract value is indicated, as pricing is to be submitted by bidders. Overall, the contract aims to ensure the County secures a qualified firm that delivers a robust, standards-compliant DAS installation to support the operational needs of the new Wellness Center, facilitating improved cellular connectivity within
