As-Needed Bridge, Road, and Trail Design, Engineering, Inspection, Maintenance, and Bridge Construction Management Services

El Dorado County's Procurement and Contracts Division is requesting qualifications for as-needed bridge, road, and trail design, engineering, inspection, maintenance, and bridge construction management services, with responses due August 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. PDT. This is a qualification-based RFQ that will establish a qualified list valid for up to three years; the County has not specified the number of successful respondents or guaranteed minimum or maximum service assignments to any firm.

The scope encompasses design services (bridge, road, and trail alignment and structural design with plans, specifications, and cost estimates); engineering services (hydraulics, geotechnical, scour protection, and erosion control); National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) compliant bridge inspections (routine, special, and underwater); maintenance plans and condition assessments; and construction project management services (bid administration, contract management, construction observation, and field engineering). Experience with trestle bridges is preferred. Work will be assigned through direct negotiation with a selected respondent or through informal submittals from at least three qualified list members, with selection based on experience, expertise, current workload, ability to respond, and other relevant criteria.

Respondents must submit Attachments B through F, including RFQ response information, staff and team qualifications, firm experience, project management and approach, and references. Experience serving California local governments is desirable. The award type is lump sum; no bid bond, payment bond, or performance bond percentages are specified. The estimated bid value and project duration have not been disclosed.

Questions are due July 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PDT. No pre-bid meeting is scheduled. Contact Tyler Prince at 530-621-6438 or tyler.prince@edcgov.us for additional information.
