This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development for on-call geotechnical professional and technical services to support both federally funded and non-federally funded projects. The RFP seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive geotechnical engineering services including site investigations, soil and rock analyses, foundation design recommendations, slope stability assessments, and construction phase services. The contract is structured as an on-call arrangement with an estimated annual volume of approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000, though actual services may vary based on project needs. Proposals were due on a specified deadline with evaluation based on qualifications, experience, technical approach, and pricing. The contract term is anticipated to be for three years with potential renewal options for additional periods at the County's discretion. Interested firms were encouraged to attend a pre-proposal conference to clarify scope requirements and project expectations.

The pricing for services will be submitted on a time and materials or fixed fee basis depending on project requirements, with rates subject to County approval and prevailing wage compliance where applicable. The County anticipates awarding contracts to one or more qualified firms capable of handling multiple concurrent projects. Preference may be given to firms with demonstrated experience on similar California projects, particularly those involving federal funding requirements such as those from Caltrans or other state agencies. No specific set-asides are mentioned, though all work must comply with applicable California regulations and any federal requirements associated with funded projects. The County reserves the right to modify scope, duration, and funding allocation based on actual project demands and budgetary considerations.
