07A6502 - On-Call Roadway Construction Services

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from qualified firms for on-call Architecture and Engineering roadway construction services under Notice 07A6502, with SOQs due September 22, 2026. The estimated contract value is $10.4 million to $16.9 million. A 0% DBE participation goal is required.

Addendum 1, issued October 24, 2025 (version 2), materially modifies DBE and qualification requirements effective immediately. DBE participation goal documentation and sections have been removed from SOQ requirements in response to interim final rule modifications issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation on September 30, 2025. Consultant Contract Managers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of responsible experience leading teams of A&E firms for similar services and a minimum of ten years of documented experience in delivering A&E roadway construction services, with both qualifications earned serially and without double-counting or overlapping time periods.

All consultants and subconsultants must disclose in their transmittal letters whether they intend to use or have used Generative Artificial Intelligence in completing deliverables. Failure to disclose results in potential SOQ disqualification. Caltrans reserves the right to reject SOQs presenting unacceptable risk levels related to GenAI use.

SOQ submissions must follow GSA Standard Form SF330 format and include transmittal letters identifying all team members (prime consultant, subconsultants, and vendors) with work portions and utilization percentages, DIR prevailing wage certification numbers, key personnel availability tables, communication plans, workforce analysis documentation, nondiscrimination plans, and California Civil Rights Laws certification. Respondents must certify that neither the prime nor subconsultants have previously performed construction services on the same projects for which they provided Project Construction Support services. Ten example projects demonstrating relevant experience are required with documentation of key personnel participation. Vendor services require rate sheets rather than three competitive bids at the task order level.

All documents must be submitted in electronic format using 8-point minimum font on 8.5" by 11" paper. Accessible versions of solicitation documents are available upon request at http://bit.ly/dpac-ada or (916) 654-2852.
