Description
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide technical assistance for cyanidation permitting under Idaho’s ore‑processing regulations. The award will be an indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract lasting five years, with task‑order pricing negotiated after a short‑list of the top five qualified vendors is identified. Work includes reviewing pre‑application and full permit submissions, assisting in drafting permits, supporting compliance inspections, and offering engineering and litigation support related to cyanide‑leaching facilities. An Idaho‑licensed Professional Engineer must be on staff, and the contractor must submit detailed qualifications, conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, and trade‑secret handling documentation.
• Scope covers preliminary design review, full application evaluation, permitting assistance, compliance monitoring, and possible litigation support for cyanidation facilities.
• Submission is a qualifications statement due Dec 11, 2026; a pre‑proposal conference (non‑mandatory) on Nov 13, 2026 provides Q&A.
• Contract is a 5‑year IDIQ; payment will be task‑order based, negotiated after short‑list selection, requiring Idaho‑licensed PE staff and robust project‑management capability.
