About this opportunity

Caltrans is seeking qualified firms to provide on-call Environmental Generalist Services for District 10, specifically targeting projects within Orange County. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Number 12A2295 solicits consultants capable of delivering comprehensive environmental services for transportation projects, including environmental document preparation, cultural resource studies, air quality analysis, noise studies, paleontological resource assessments, visual impact analysis, and water quality studies. Consultants must demonstrate expertise in federal and state environmental regulations such as NEPA and CEQA, and have specialized personnel with professional environmental certifications. The RFQ requires electronic PDF submission of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) by May 20, 2025, with potential interviews scheduled for June 5, 2025, and cost negotiations targeted for the week of July 14, 2025. Questions and clarifications must be submitted within seven business days after the RFQ advertisement, and consultants must carefully follow the detailed submission guidelines outlined in Section IV of the RFQ.

The contract includes a mandatory 22% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, requiring consultants to be certified by the California Unified Certification Program. Vendors must disclose all subconsultants, listing both DBE and non-DBE entities in their SOQs, and submit rate sheets with unit costs. A notable requirement is full disclosure of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) usage under Executive Order N-12-23, with consultants required to provide written notification of any GenAI development or deployment in project deliverables. The estimated contract value ranges from $3,200,000 to $5,200,000, with a proposed three-year term from May 20, 2025, to May 31, 2028. Failure to comply with GenAI disclosure requirements or presenting an unacceptable level of risk may result in disqualification, and the state reserves the right to incorporate special GenAI provisions into the final contract.
