How to bid on Property Abatement Services for El Dorado County

What El Dorado County is seeking

El Dorado County is seeking qualified firms for as-needed property abatement at residential and commercial sites. Services include boarding up and securing properties and removing exterior junk, trash, debris, abandoned vehicles, and other foreign matter.

The County plans to create a Qualified List that may remain valid for up to three years. Being selected does not guarantee any amount of work.

Key date and deadline

The RFQ was published October 21, 2026. Submit your sealed Statement of Qualifications by November 13, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET.

Submit electronically through PlanetBids before the deadline. The County may then select a firm from the Qualified List and negotiate a contract, or seek informal submittals from at least three listed firms for a specific task.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits firms experienced in property abatement, property securing, and removal of junk, debris, and abandoned vehicles from residential and commercial sites. Firms must demonstrate experience with the services in the RFQ.

Experience serving California local governments is desirable. The County aims to have multiple providers on the Qualified List, but does not guarantee how many firms will be selected.

How to access and submit your response

Open the solicitation’s PlanetBids listing through the provided “View original source” access step. The scope, dates, and document list are public; PlanetBids may first ask you to complete a human verification check.

To download documents, receive addenda, and submit electronically, register for a free PlanetBids vendor account with the County of El Dorado. Follow the RFQ’s submittal instructions and submit before the stated deadline.

Prepare a clear, competitive Statement of Qualifications

Use the RFQ’s submittal requirements as a checklist. Describe relevant abatement work clearly, including the types of sites and services your firm has handled, and provide specific examples that show your experience.

Explain how your firm can secure properties and remove the listed materials. Review the solicitation documents and any addenda, allow time to complete the electronic submission, and verify that your SOQ has been submitted before the deadline.

Because the County may consider experience, expertise, current workload, and ability to respond when assigning specific work, make those points easy to find in your response.
