About this file
This is an Addendum No. 2 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Procurement and Contracts, for On-Call Architecture and Engineering (A&E) Hazardous Waste Site Investigation and Design Services for District 4. The addendum, dated March 12, 2026, provides clarification regarding program changes and modifies the original RFQ Notice dated March 5, 2026. The addendum removes previously established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals and related requirements that were included in the original solicitation's Statement of Qualifications submittal instructions.
The addendum implements changes to the DBE Program resulting from an interim final rule (IFR) issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation on September 30, 2025, which modified 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 26 and took immediate effect upon publication in the Federal Register on October 3, 2025. Specifically, the addendum eliminates Section III's DBE Goals documentation requirements and removes the entirety of Section IV regarding Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Participation Goals from the original RFQ. All other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remain unchanged. Questions regarding this addendum should be directed to Vanessa Usanmaz at the Caltrans Division of Procurement and Contracts.
