Industrial Hygiene/ Environmental Consulting Services

The City of Santa Monica is seeking qualified firms to provide on-call industrial hygiene and environmental consulting services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement focuses on comprehensive environmental testing and consulting, including asbestos, lead, mold, and industrial hygiene services across various project types such as post-water damage testing, pre-remediation assessments, air quality analysis, noise exposure level evaluation, lead exposure assessment, and chemical personal protective equipment (PPE) analysis. Proposing firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of expertise in indoor air quality evaluation, microbial assessment, hazardous material remediation, and noise assessment. Key personnel are required to hold specific credentials, including Certified Asbestos Consultants, Certified Lead Related Construction Inspectors, Certified Microbial Consultants, and a Certified Industrial Hygienist. The evaluation process will utilize a points-based scoring system across six criteria: experience/technical competence (25 points), interview/hypothetical project assessment (25 points), sample report quality (20 points), value-added services (10 points), cost (15 points), and stability/references (5 points). Proposals are due on May 30, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with the top three proposers invited to provide a presentation to the evaluation committee.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be a firm-fixed term for five years, with the selected consultant required to be available within 24 hours of service request and provide detailed written reports using a credentialed laboratory for expedited testing. The procurement is subject to the City's Living Wage Ordinance, which establishes a minimum wage of $20.32 for certain employees and requires comparable healthcare benefits. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the five-year contract term suggest a potentially significant contract value. The solicitation covers jurisdictions including Los Angeles County and San Francisco City, indicating a broad potential service area. Proposers must submit their responses through the ProcureNow vendor portal, carefully addressing all requirements and following the detailed proposer checklist to ensure compliance and competitiveness.
