The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), in partnership with Caltrans District 10, is seeking consulting services to develop a Flood Adaptation Strategy (FAS) for State Route 4 (SR-4) through the San Joaquin Delta River. The primary objective is to assess flood impacts on this critical transportation route, which serves as a goods movement connector, commuter route, and evacuation route located within FEMA's 100-year floodplain. Proposing consultants must demonstrate expertise in developing flood resilience strategies, with a focus on generating priority flood-resilient capital improvement projects. The evaluation criteria will include approach and understanding (15%), project team qualifications (25%), work plan (30%), and cost (30%). Proposals are due by July 29, 2025, at 4:00 pm, with an anticipated project completion timeline of 12 months from the notice to proceed. The project requires extensive stakeholder engagement, including at least three community events, and will focus on developing a data-driven investment strategy to improve transportation network resilience during potential flood events.

The procurement includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements, with multiple forms and exhibits mandating good faith efforts to engage DBE firms. Consultants must complete Exhibit 10-O1 (Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment) and Exhibit 10-O2 (Consultant Contract DBE Commitment), documenting their strategies for involving certified DBE firms in the project. The total project budget is $325,000, with the top-ranking consulting firm expected to enter contract negotiations with SJCOG. The project specifically targets a disadvantaged community area with high pollution and linguistic isolation rankings, emphasizing equity in its approach. Proposers must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their understanding of the project, past performance on similar initiatives, and detailed project team qualifications. Insurance requirements will be extensive, including workers' compensation, commercial general and automobile liability, and professional liability coverage. The contract will be structured as a time and materials agreement with monthly progress invoices and comprehensive reporting requirements.
