Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
Enhance Readiness for Major Emergency Responses.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Department of Public Works-Transportation (Department) is financed by Gas Tax revenue, fee revenue, and other local, state, and federal funding. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District) is funded by property tax revenue, fee revenue, and local, state, and federal funding. As these are on-call public works maintenance service contracts, the specific projects have not yet been determined. Depending on the project, one of the above funding sources will be used to fund the cost of the contract.
The Department has allocated $6,000,000, and the District has allocated $8,000,000 in their 2026-27 recommended budgets for anticipated expenditures under these on-call public works maintenance services.
The contract amounts are set at $2,000,000 per vendor, per year for the term of the contracts to allow flexibility on individual projects that are sent out to bid. This amount is established on a per-fiscal-year basis, and if a vendor is awarded a contract mid-year, the annual amount is not prorated they remain eligible for the full $2,000,000 for that fiscal year.
The total contract amount assigned to each vendor is $10,000,000 for the Department and $10,000,000 for the District over the term of the contracts. The contract ceilings represent maximum aggregate authority available over the contract term and do not obligate expenditures. Actual expenditures will be limited to the budgeted funds and will not exceed the annual budgeted amount of $6,000,000 for the Department and $8,000,000 for the District for 2026-27. The Department and District will include sufficient appropriation in future recommended budgets for on-call public works maintenance services.
In the event of an emergency, the Department and District will initially finance emergency costs from their annual budget appropriations. Subsequently, both the Department and District will submit reimbursement claims to the California Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as may be applicable.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Department and District will have the ability to call upon a list of pre-approved vendors to provide on-call public works maintenance services. Contractors on the pre-approved list may be utilized for routine maintenance projects, public projects not exceeding $75,000, and emergency projects (following applicable provisions of the Public Contract Code). Requesting qualifications from vendors before projects or emergencies occur reduces delays in the procurement process, which supports the goal of operating in a fiscally-responsible and business-like manner, as well as providing for the safety of county residents.
On December 16, 2025 (Item No.128), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved contracts with 60 vendors for both the Department and District and created a list of pre-approved contractors to provide the Department and the District with on-call public works maintenance services for work performed on County roads and District facilities. In accordance with the terms of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), the Department and District will be able to augment the list on a semi-annual basis.
As projects are identified, the Department and District will contact pre-approved vendors to request bids. The lowest bidder is then selected to provide the requested services for the project. However, conditions other than price are sometimes important and will be considered when necessary. Such conditions will be identified in the request for bids on an individual project. For emergency projects (following applicable provisions of the Public Contract Code), the Department and District may contact any contractor directly to promptly respond to such emergencies, and the price will be negotiated at the time of contact.
PROCUREMENT
On January 29, 2026, the County Administrative Office authorized the release of RFQ PWG 126-OPERA-6197 to solicit and create a list of pre-approved contractors to provide the Department and the District with on-call public works maintenance services for work performed on County roads and District facilities. In accordance with the terms of the RFQ, the Department and District will be able to augment the list on a semi-annual basis.
The Department and District received eight proposals. A panel of knowledgeable staff from the Department and District reviewed the proposals submitted by vendors and determined eight vendors meet the minimum qualifications specified in the RFQ, including types of services, service locations, and compliance with Department and District terms and conditions. The Department and District are also recommending a contract with Connected Enterprises Group, Inc. dba Galloway Boys Trucking. The vendor submitted a proposal in response to RFQ 126-OPERA-5989 and met all minimum requirements; however, due to an oversight, this contract was not included in Item No. 128 approved by the Board on December 16, 2025. Approval of this item will bring the total number of approved contractors from 60 to 69.
The RFQ shall remain open through September 2029 with semi-annual deadlines for proposal submission. The Department and the District will return to the Board as needed to seek approval of additional vendors for inclusion on the pre-approved vendor list.
