San Francisco Public Works (“Public Works”), a department of the City and County of San
Francisco (“City”), is issuing this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ” or “Solicitation”) to solicit
proposals from qualified consultants and or joint venture (JV) firms (“Proposers”). Public Works
seeks professional services in Geotechnical Engineering, and other related consulting services,
on an as-needed basis.
Projects may include a wide range of City-owned facilities, such as civic buildings (office
buildings, libraries, cultural centers), public safety facilities (fire and police stations), recreation
facilities (recreation centers, clubhouses, pools), healthcare facilities (clinics and acute care
interiors), infrastructure projects (pump stations, transportation facilities, EV charging stations),
homeless shelters, and correctional facilities.
The LBE Subconsulting Participation Requirement for this Contract is 15%. Public Works
encourages responses from City & County of San Francisco certified Local Business Enterprises
(LBEs). For any Contract Monitoring Division (CMD) requests, contact Ivan Oldenkamp at
Ivan.Oldenkamp@sfgov.org.
The City anticipates award up to four (4) master agreements, each with a not-to-exceed
(“NTE”) value of $3,000,000 over the five-year term. Public Works reserves the right, consistent
with City contracting requirements, to adjust the number of contracts.
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.
A pre-proposal conference will not be conducted for this project.
