Public Works seek professional As-Needed Audio/Visual, Telecom, & Security System Design Services.
The Selected Consultant, including its team of subconsultants, will support the Project Design and Development Division of Public Works. 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 Subcontracting Participation Requirement for this Contract is 16% and may only be met with San Francisco CMD-certified Small and/or Micro-LBEs. Public Works encourages responses from City & County of San Francisco certified Local Business Enterprises (LBEs). Further information regarding the Contract Monitoring Division (CMD) requirements can be found in Section 4 of this RFQ.
The City anticipates award up to four (4) master agreements, each with a not-to-exceed (“NTE”) value of $750,000 over the five-year term. Public Works reserves the right, consistent with City contracting requirements, to adjust the number of contracts.
