Grants Management System

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the County of San Mateo's OpenGov eProcurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/smcgov; proposers must register with the portal in advance. The portal's recorded submission time is the official time, partial uploads terminate automatically and are rejected, and late submissions are not accepted. Include the proposer name and the RFP title and number in each filename; PDF format is preferred, using Times New Roman 12-point type with one-inch margins. Each proposer may submit only one proposal. The Fee Proposal and Terms must be uploaded as a separate PDF within the portal. Organize the proposal as Section A cover letter and executive summary (signed by a representative authorized to bind the organization); B firm qualifications and experience; C proposed approach and methodology; D staffing plan and key personnel; E fee proposal and terms; F references; G the Minimum Qualifications Checklist (Exhibit A); H signed non-collusion statement, conflict of interest disclosure, and acknowledgment of all addenda; and I the local business or local non-profit self-attestation, if claiming the preference. Questions, comments, and exceptions to the County's standard contract terms must be submitted in writing through the portal question-and-answer function; phone, email, and in-person submissions are not accepted. Procurement contact: Chris King, Contract Administrator II.
