Report Title: Contract with Wes-Co Industries for On-Call Stainless Steel Cabinetry Fabrication and Installation Services, Countywide.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Wes-Co Industries in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide on-call stainless steel cabinetry fabrication and installation services at various County sites and facilities, for the period of February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Facilities Maintenance Budget. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department, Facilities Services, is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all County buildings and facilities. In-house County carpenters do not specialize in installing stainless-steel cabinetry and countertops. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for the maintenance and upkeep of County facilities.
The Public Works Department recently conducted a formal solicitation for on-call stainless steel cabinetry fabrication and installation services in February of 2025. The Request for Proposal was originally bid on Bidnet Direct #RFP_F-CONTR-0000000008. After thorough evaluation of the bid received, Wes-Co Industries was the only contractor awarded for these services. This contract will have a term of three (3) years. The contract payment limit will be $250,000.
This contract is especially necessary so that the outdated and damaged stainless-steel cabinetry/countertops at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) can be upgraded and replaced according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety standards.
Facilities Services is requesting approval of a contract with Wes-Co Industries for the term February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029, in the amount of $250,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, on-call stainless steel cabinetry fabrication and installation services with Wes-Co Industries will not be able to begin, and future stainless-steel cabinetry and countertop projects will not be completed in a timely manner.
