The primary deliverables include conducting plan reviews and inspections of construction sites, ensuring proper construction and maintenance of ESC measures, providing regulatory interpretation assistance, and delivering environmental compliance guidance and reporting. Qualified proposers must hold either an ESC Combined Administrator Certification from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality or possess professional credentials as a Professional Engineer, Architect, certified landscape architect, land surveyor, or professional soil scientist, along with a valid Virginia Driver's License. Evaluation criteria include demonstrated experience with similar projects within the last five years, customer and industry references, ability to mobilize and complete work in a timely manner, and responsiveness to RFP requirements, with price not being the sole determining factor. The RFP timeline requires submission of sealed proposals by April 2, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. at the Grayson County Administrator's Office, with a deadline for questions on March 23, 2026, bid opening on April 6, 2026, interviews and presentations on April 13, 2026, and announcement of award on April 15, 2026.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular types of organizations, disadvantaged enterprises, or minority-owned businesses, indicating that the opportunity is open to qualified proposers generally. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is identified in the available RFP materials. The resulting contract will be a five-year term measured from the Project Begin Date, which will be established upon contract execution, replacing the originally stated May 1, 2026 completion date as clarified in Addendum No. 1. The contract will be governed by Virginia law and will incorporate standard terms and conditions including insurance requirements, non-discrimination provisions, drug-free workplace certification, and audit rights. No specific contract price, funding amount, or budget range is stated in the RFP; pricing will be negotiated with the selected proposer.
