Folger Stable Arena Footing Replacement

The County of San Mateo Parks Department is soliciting qualified contractors to replace the footing in the Folger Stable Arena, a 90-foot by 200-foot equestrian surface, with the project requiring verification of the existing compacted base, import and blending of clean, washed sand and textile materials with the original footing, and precise laser grading and grooming to ensure compliance with United States Equestrian Federation and American Society for Testing and Materials standards. The work involves comprehensive site preparation, quality assurance, environmental compliance, and safety adherence, with the contractor responsible for coordinating all material deliveries and correcting any deficiencies identified during the final inspection at no additional cost. Proposals must include a detailed project approach, firm qualifications with up to three comparable past projects (one page each), a schedule of milestones, references, a statement of minimum qualifications, and a line-item pricing proposal covering materials and labor, all submitted as a single PDF via the OpenGov portal by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 21, 2026. Award will be based on a trade-off evaluation of technical merit and price, with the project approach carrying the highest weight at 37.5%, followed by firm qualifications and price each at 31.3%, and no award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. Contractors must hold an active Unique Entity ID on SAM.gov, be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and comply with prevailing wage requirements under the California Labor Code, including submission of certified payroll records. Additional mandatory requirements include full compliance with the Levine Act, submission of a disclosure form regarding campaign contributions to specified county officials, maintenance of $1 million in general, motor vehicle, and professional liability insurance, and provision of performance and payment bonds if the contract exceeds $25,000. The contract includes a one-year warranty on all materials and workmanship, and proposals are subject to public disclosure under California law with no claim for confidentiality. The work will be performed at 4040 Woodside Road, Woodside, California, and while no formal contract type is specified, the nature of the fixed-scope project strongly indicates a firm fixed price arrangement. The County reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal, modify the solicitation, or allow other agencies to piggyback on the resulting contract without expanding the contractor’s obligations.
