Landfill Gas Related Specialized Consulting and Testing Services

Shasta County is seeking specialized consulting and testing services for the West Central Landfill (WCL) Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The procurement aims to identify qualified consultants to provide comprehensive services including routine maintenance, calibration, monitoring, on-call support for system malfunctions, and engineering consulting for planning, design, operations, environmental monitoring, assessment, and remediation. The evaluation process will score submissions across four key areas: understanding of work (20%), experience with similar work (40%), staff quality (15%), and technical ability (25%). Consultants must submit a 15-page Statement of Qualifications and a separate Fee Proposal. Key procurement dates include a May 02, 2025 deadline for submitting questions, May 07, 2025 for county responses, and May 09, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. as the proposal due date. The anticipated written notice of intent to award is scheduled for May 30, 2025, with a proposed three-year agreement term that allows for potential annual rate adjustments up to 3%.

The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. Compensation will be structured on a time and materials basis, with reimbursement for direct costs including travel expenses calculated per IRS standard mileage rates, actual lodging costs, and meal reimbursements according to California Department of Human Resources policies. While a specific contract value is not detailed, the County reserves the right to negotiate terms and potentially terminate the RFQ process if no suitable consultant is identified. Consultants will be required to provide labor rates, reimbursable expenses, and mark-ups as part of their Fee Proposal. The final contract compensation will be specified in the ultimate agreement, with the total value to be determined during the negotiation process. The procurement is open to consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in landfill gas system management, environmental monitoring, and related technical services.
