MESA MARIN SPORTS COMPLEX MAINTENANCE

The City of Bakersfield is soliciting bids from qualified and experienced firms to provide maintenance services for the Mesa Marin Sports Complex. This contract will have an initial term of three years, with the City retaining the sole option to renew for up to two additional one-year periods on mutually agreed-upon terms. Bids, consisting of one original and one copy, must be submitted by 11:00 a.m. on February 24, 2026. A fidelity bond equal to 100% of the total contract value is required, while no bid bond percentage is specified. The solicitation, identified by number 25-26-29, is managed by the City’s Purchasing Department, with Olimpia Frederick serving as the primary contact. The contract framework is based on a local government template from Howard County, Maryland, adapted with placeholder-driven language, allowing for customization of scope, compensation terms, and contract duration. The scope mandates the contractor to perform maintenance services in compliance with applicable laws, codes, and contractual quality standards, ensuring all work is fit for purpose with implied warranties of merchantability. The contract requires proper licensing and insurance coverage naming the County as an additional insured. Payment terms anticipate invoicing in triplicate with specified contract and purchase order numbers, with the County reserving the right to withhold 10% retainage until satisfactory completion. Ethical compliance certifications, prohibitions on conflicts of interest, and restrictions on assignment without consent further govern contractor responsibilities. Inspection and acceptance occur at the designated delivery site, predicated on adherence to quality and specification standards. While detailed pricing and evaluation criteria are not provided, the contract strongly emphasizes regulatory compliance, performance quality, and administrative oversight throughout its term.
