San Francisco Public Works (Public Works), a department of the City and County of San Francisco (City), seeks to award up to five (5) master agreements (Contracts) to pre-qualified Consultants and/or joint venture (JV) firms to provide Special Inspection and Testing Services and related services on an as-needed basis.

The selected Consultant will provide special inspection and testing services and other related services as described in Section 2 – Scope of Services in the RFQ.  Projects may include various building facilities, such as, library buildings, performing arts buildings, concert halls, theaters, convention facilities, transit stations, fire stations, police stations, health service centers, hospital buildings, office buildings, recreation centers, parks, streetscapes, and other City-owned facilities.

The result of this RFQ, through the evaluation and selection process, will be a master agreement with each selected consultant firm or team.  Each master agreement will have a five (5) year term with Contract Service Orders (CSO) or tasks issued during the first four years only.

The City intends to award up to five (5) master agreements with a not to exceed value of up to $1,600,000 for each master agreement.  Public Works reserves the right to change the contract amount and have the sole discretion to extend the Contract duration to be awarded consistent with City contracting requirements.  Individual CSO’s may only exceed the threshold amount, currently at $1,000,000, with pre-approval from the Director of Public Works.  The Threshold Amount is subject to change per San Francisco Administrative Code Sec. 6.1.

Since this is an “As-Needed” contract, award of a master agreement does not guarantee that the selected firms will perform all or any portion of the services described in this RFQ, nor does it guarantee that the maximum amount will be expended.  The maximum contract dollar amount does not represent a guaranteed revenue source for any of the selected firms.

Submittals will be accepted until 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time, February 5, 2025. Consultants shall submit Proposals as specified and required in the RFQ package. Late submittals will not be considered.
