Fire Station 63 - Prequalification of General Contractors

The City of South San Francisco is seeking the prequalification of General Contractors for Phase III of the Community Civic Campus project, which involves the construction of Fire Station 63 located at the corner of Arroyo Drive and Camaritas Avenue. This phase follows the development of the Police Operations and 911 Dispatch Center in Phase I and the combined Library, Parks and Recreation, Community Theater, and Council Chamber facilities in Phase II. The primary objective of this solicitation is to determine bidder responsibility and identify the lowest responsible bidder for the upcoming construction phase. To qualify, contractors must demonstrate extensive experience in constructing civic centers, public facilities, or comparable projects, providing up to five relevant project examples that are at least 50 percent complete. Evaluation is based on three scoring categories, and applicants must achieve a passing grade in each. Strict eligibility requirements include a clean record regarding California State Licensing Board suspensions and compliance with CAL OSHA safety regulations, California apprenticeship laws, and federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements over the last five years. Submissions must be delivered both electronically and via hard copy, with confidential financial statements provided in a separate sealed envelope. The prequalification process includes a mandatory adherence to a Project Labor Agreement and state contractor registration under Section 1725.5 of the California Labor Code. The deadline for submissions is July 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with all materials delivered to the Director of Capital Projects in South San Francisco.
