DCNR-Small Business Initiative.pdf

This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for their Small Business Initiative. The RFP outlines a contract opportunity for small businesses to provide various services to support DCNR's conservation and recreation programs across the state. The services requested include environmental consulting, landscape architecture, engineering, and project management. The RFP provides an overview of the initiative and expected scope of work, with no specific quantities listed. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM EST on January 15, 2023, and a pre-proposal conference is scheduled for December 15, 2022. The contract term is for one year with four one-year renewal options.

The RFP specifies that this is a set-aside opportunity for small businesses registered in Pennsylvania. Pricing will be evaluated based on fixed hourly rates for each labor category. DCNR has an existing small business initiative contract in place, but this RFP is for a new contract. The project is funded through DCNR's operating budget, but the specific funding amount is not provided. The RFP outlines the required proposal format and evaluation criteria, as well as standard state contracting terms and conditions.
