Addendum 1, effective immediately, removes all DBE participation goal documentation requirements from SOQ transmittal letters and participation goals sections in response to U.S. Department of Transportation interim final rule changes effective October 3, 2025; however, firms must comply with the modified DBE Program framework.

The Consultant Contract Manager must hold a minimum of five years of responsible contract management experience leading A&E firm teams for similar roadway projects combined with a minimum of ten years of documented roadway construction services experience, gained serially across multiple projects without double-counting or overlapping time periods.

The estimated contract value is $19.6 million to $31.85 million over three years. The fee for profit is fixed at ten percent with escalation rates of 1.71% for the initial partial year (September 8, 2026 to September 30, 2027) and 3.42% annually thereafter. The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements. Caltrans requires all transmittal letters to disclose whether Generative Artificial Intelligence will be used or offered as part of services; failure to disclose may result in SOQ disqualification. Questions are due seven business days after RFQ advertisement. Negotiations with the top-ranked firm are scheduled for the week of October 30, 2026, with a final cost proposal due November 12, 2026.
