About this file
This document is Addendum No. 4 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for on-call Environmental Cultural Resources services. The RFQ requires the submittal of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified firms to provide these services within the limits of District 4, covering Alameda, Contra Costa, Marina, Napa, Solano, Sonoma, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties. The RFQ includes clarifications regarding the naming of vendors, which are considered trade services incidental to the core A&E services. Vendors must be listed in the SOQ transmittal letter, and DBE and non-DBE vendors should be identified. The estimated contract amount is $8,000,000 to $13,000,000 over a 3-year term.
The RFQ includes a 22% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal participation requirement. Addenda have been issued to provide responses to consultant questions and clarify requirements, including the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). Proposers are responsible for identifying potential teaming partners, as the Department does not maintain a plan holders list or identify companies that may have downloaded the project documents.
