About this opportunity

The Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Cosumnes Watershed Multibenefit Project Scoping Support Services, seeking engineering firms to provide professional services for identifying and scoping a multi-benefit flood risk reduction project in the Cosumnes River Watershed. The primary objectives include developing advanced hydrologic models, assessing flood risk reduction measures, and coordinating among local agencies, environmental organizations, and landowners. Key deliverables will likely encompass joint fact-finding, modeling, grant application preparation, and environmental compliance document support. The solicitation was published on May 13, 2024, with questions due by June 3, 2024, and Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) due by June 13, 2024 at 2:00 pm. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the RFQ suggests a focus on technical expertise, understanding of watershed management, and ability to coordinate complex multi-stakeholder projects related to flood risk reduction and environmental conservation.

The procurement appears open to qualified engineering and consulting firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be structured as an on-call, task order-based arrangement with compensation determined on a time and expenses basis using the consultant's standard billing rates. Potential annual rate adjustments will be tied to the Employment Cost Index, though the maximum total payment amount remains to be determined. The project involves extensive stakeholder collaboration, including county departments, local and state agencies (such as the California Department of Water Resources), federal agencies, tribal entities, and non-governmental organizations. The initiative is motivated by recent severe flood events, including a significant January 2023 flood that caused extensive damage, with a long-term vision of creating a resilient watershed management approach that balances flood risk reduction with environmental conservation, groundwater recharge, and habitat enhancement.
