This is an addendum to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Procurement and Contracts, for on-call Materials Engineering and Testing Services (METS) in District 59. Addendum No. 2, dated December 15, 2025, revises the interview date to Tuesday, February 10, 2026, while all other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remain unchanged. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide Quality Management Assessment Services, including verification activities such as inspection, sampling, and materials testing for structural materials at fabrication facilities and construction sites throughout all counties within California's District 59. Work will be assigned on an as-needed basis to support Caltrans Division of Engineering Services projects designed to improve state transportation system facilities. The estimated contract term is three years with an estimated contract value of $3,345,463 to $5,436,378. Requirements questions and answers must be submitted no later than seven business days after RFQ advertisement.

No DBE/DVBE participation goals are required for this contract. The solicitation includes four addenda addressing various clarifications and updates, including revisions to DBE information, Construction Manager experience requirements, and the interview date. Firms are responsible for identifying and organizing their own teaming partners, as Caltrans does not track which entities have downloaded project documents.
