On-Call Special Project Liason

The County of San Mateo is seeking a qualified contractor to serve as a Special Project Liaison (SPL) to support the County Executive's Office in evaluating the operations of county-owned properties, particularly focusing on safety and security concerns. The SPL will play a vital role in facilitating communication between the County, local communities, law enforcement agencies, fire services, and the business sector, especially concerning interim shelter sites that provide temporary housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These shelters are managed by vendors under County contracts and are intended as short-term solutions while longer-term housing arrangements are developed. Additionally, the SPL will assist in enforcing the Hopeful Horizons Ordinance, which involves clearing encampments in unincorporated areas, working closely with relevant departments to ensure compliance. The contract is initially set for a minimum of three years, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods, offering flexibility for ongoing support. The County encourages experienced contractors to submit proposals that demonstrate their qualifications, expertise, and strategic approach to fulfilling the scope of work. The selection process will prioritize those with relevant experience and a comprehensive plan for addressing the County’s needs. The contract value ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, and interested parties are directed to review detailed specifications and submit their proposals by the deadline of February 11, 2025. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Matthew Benavides, reachable via email or phone.
