On-Call Board Up and Emergency Abatement Services

The City of San Bernardino is seeking to establish a pool of qualified contractors to provide on-call board-up and emergency abatement services to support its Code Enforcement Division. These services are critical for addressing urgent and non-urgent hazards on both public and private properties that threaten health, safety, and welfare. The contract aims to ensure rapid response and professional handling of situations initiated by various agencies such as Code Enforcement, Fire, Police, and Building & Safety, operating 24/7 including holidays. The solicitation, identified as RFP F-25-1036, was posted on July 15, 2025, with a response deadline of August 13, 2025. The contract size ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and the City reserves the right to select multiple contractors to form a pool, with work assigned at its sole discretion. In addition to the core service requirements, contractors are expected to comply with the City’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals, as outlined in the DBE Questionnaire and Goals Form. This form collects information on the contractor’s DBE participation, including estimated dollar values and percentage goals across categories such as minorities, women, service-disabled veterans, and LGBTQ individuals. It also requires certifications, signatures, and details about subcontractors to ensure compliance with DBE participation and reporting standards. The overall process emphasizes the City’s commitment to fostering equitable contracting opportunities while maintaining high standards for emergency response services.
