Description
The District is issuing an on‑call RFQ for comprehensive biological and broad‑range environmental services to support its flood‑control and public‑works capital‑improvement projects across Alameda County. Up to three prime consultants may be awarded five‑year contracts (not‑to‑exceed $1.5 M each) and will receive task orders on a rotational basis. Services include CEQA documentation, hazardous‑materials assessments (Phase I/II ESAs), biological surveys, water‑quality and storm‑water permitting, noise and air‑quality analyses, and environmental compliance management. A minimum of 20 % of contract value must be performed by a certified Small‑Local‑Emerging‑Business (SLEB) subcontractor. The solicitation requires a mandatory pre‑SOQ meeting, a hard‑copy proposal due in early December, and oral interviews for shortlisted firms. Evaluation weighs experience, staffing, SLEB participation, and cost proposals.
• Deliverables: CEQA/EIR/EAs, permit applications (401/404, SAA, BCDC, etc.), biological surveys, Phase I/II ESAs, mitigation design, construction monitoring, and environmental management plans.
• Contract term: 5 years, with each prime limited to $1.5 M (total potential $4.5 M).
• SLEB rule: 20 % of dollars on each task order must go to an SLEB subcontractor; prime may also be an SLEB.
• Required certifications: Debarment & Suspension, Iran Contracting Act compliance, and SLEB participation documentation.
