About this file
The document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) on April 24, 2025, seeking contractors to provide statewide site monitoring services for 400 to 1,000 DTSC sites with institutional controls. The RFI requires a contractor to monitor various information sources including construction proposals, dredging permits, real estate listings, and environmental quality projects, with key responsibilities including alerting DTSC about planned activities that could impact site integrity, providing electronic notifications of potential site impacts, and linking to institutional control documentation. The key action dates include the RFI being published on April 24, 2025, with the last day to submit questions on May 1, 2025, and the final response deadline set for May 8, 2025, all at 3:00 PM PST.
Minimum qualifications for the contractor include two years of experience performing similar work and being licensed to do business in California. The RFI emphasizes that this is an information-gathering process and not a formal solicitation, with respondents responsible for their own expenses. Interested parties are instructed to submit a cover letter demonstrating how they meet the minimum qualifications and can perform the required monitoring services, with submissions to be sent via email to contracts@dtsc.ca.gov. The monitoring services are critical for preemptively identifying potential land use covenant violations, acquiring contact information for involved parties, and communicating site-specific hazards or restrictions to protect worker health, prevent damage to remedy components, and stop inadvertent contamination spread.

Request for Information – Statewide Site Monitoring Services
You are invited to review and respond to this Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Request for Information (RFI). DTSC is seeking information about contractors who are able to provide monitoring services for between 400 and 1000 Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Sites throughout California that have institutional controls in place.
1. Introduction
The Contractor must monitor between 400 and 1000 DTSC sites throughout California that have institutional controls in place. Without these services, it would be considerably more difficult or impossible for DTSC staff to preemptively identify potential land use covenant (LUC) violations, acquire contact information for involved parties, and communicate to those involved any hazards or restrictions present in the work area at Sites across the state. This work protects the health and safety of workers, prevents damage to any remedy components present on-site, and prevents inadvertent spread of contamination.
2. Objective
The Contractor must monitor between 400 and 1000 Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) sites throughout California that have institutional controls in place. The monitoring system must include the following services:
a. Monitoring “call-before-you-dig” or “one-call” services; construction proposals;
dredging permits; real estate listings; sensitive use permits; California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) projects of both statewide and local significance; municipal permits, planning or zoning changes; and other available sources of information;
https://dtsc.ca.gov/
b. Alerting DTSC in advance of planned activities which could impact the site or the integrity of the environmental restrictions on a site. Such impacts include, but are not limited to, disturbances of remedial components, changes in land use, property transactions which could potentially affect contaminant location, containment systems, the location of underground remedy components, and exposure of the public, workers, or ecological resources to remaining contamination at a site;
c. Electronic notification to DTSC project staff of all planned events where a DTSC site may reasonably be impacted; and
d. Provide active hyperlinks to the Institutional Controls (ICs) and the EnviroStor public profile (webpage). Envirostor is DTSC's data management system that includes an online repository for documents for site cleanup projects (https://www.envirostor.dtsc.ca.gov/public/deed_restrictions).
3. Key Action Dates/Proposed Schedule
Listed below are the Key Action Dates and time by which actions should be taken or completed. If DTSC finds it necessary to change any of these dates, an Addendum to this RFI will be posted on the State’s California State Contract Register (CSCR) at www.Caleprocure.ca.gov.
