EXT REC | CON26-0011 Geneva Office Ext - MLBE

This solicitation seeks bids for exterior improvements at the Geneva Office Building in San Francisco, California, specifically focusing on historic restoration and preservation work including masonry cleaning and repair, wood restoration, gutter and downspout installation, vent replacements, and door protections. The project is managed by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, with an estimated cost of approximately $153,000. Key milestones include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 1, 2025, a deadline for questions on October 8, 2025, and bid submissions due by October 15, 2025, all coordinated via designated City contacts. The scope emphasizes compliance with historic preservation standards guided by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and requires careful handling of materials in line with detailed treatment, protection, and restoration procedures laid out in contractual documents and addenda. The contract is structured as a micro-local business enterprise (Micro-LBE) set-aside, promoting participation by certified small businesses with requirements that at least 25% of work be self-performed by Micro-LBE firms and subcontracting limited to other certified Micro-LBEs. It mandates strict adherence to San Francisco labor standards, including prevailing wage laws, apprenticeship programs, and payroll reporting, monitored by the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. Contract administration is governed by municipal general conditions (August 2015), detailing responsibilities, inspection, modification processes, and compliance obligations, but no federal FAR clauses are directly applied. Awards will follow a lowest responsive and responsible bidder approach without technical trade-offs, requiring thorough documentation such as bonds, insurance certificates, and subcontractor listings. Preservation practices for materials, packaging, handling, and environmental conditions are carefully prescribed to protect historic integrity, with coordination required for field sample panels and mock-ups to verify workmanship quality. Payment and compliance reporting are conducted via the City's electronic systems, with contract oversight by City officials but without specific federal contracting administrative data.
