Guadalupe Elementary School Boiler Replacement

The project at Guadalupe Elementary School in San Francisco involves the complete replacement of an existing steam boiler system, including the removal and disposal of the old unit along with all associated electrical and mechanical components, and the installation of a new boiler, vacuum and condensate pump system, boiler control panel, and exhaust flue. All necessary electrical, mechanical, and miscellaneous work to integrate and commission the new system is required, along with hazardous materials abatement estimated at $250,000, necessitating certified handling of asbestos and lead. The work must be performed on-site at 859 Prague Street, San Francisco, CA 94112, and all activities must comply with California labor codes, including prevailing wage rates, contractor registration, and certified payroll reporting. Bidders must hold a valid C-4 Boiler Contractor License with asbestos and lead certification and be prequalified on the San Francisco Unified School District’s approved contractor list. The solicitation requires a bid bond equal to at least 10% of the proposed bid amount, a completed subcontractor list, a non-collusion declaration, and a statement of bidder qualifications. Attendance at a mandatory job walk is required, and failure to attend renders a bid non-responsive. DVBE participation is encouraged with a 3% goal, requiring documentation of two published advertisements soliciting DVBE involvement. Bids must be submitted in sealed hard copy form to the District’s office by the deadline of August 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with no electronic submissions permitted. The contract will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning compliance with all mandatory requirements is necessary for consideration, and the lowest responsive bid will be selected. The estimated construction value is $250,000, though this figure may reflect only the hazardous materials abatement component, with the total contract value potentially higher. No formal FAR clauses, packaging requirements, shipping terms, or payment processing details are specified, and the contracting officer representative is not named, with William Chow serving as the primary point of contact for project coordination.
