On-Call Construction Support Services

Sacramento County is soliciting proposals for On-Call Construction Support Services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement seeks construction management, inspection, and quality assurance consulting services to augment and supplement County staff across multiple departments. The County intends to award between two and four contracts, with at least two contracts specifically dedicated to Department of Transportation (DOT) projects and the remaining contracts applicable to other county work. Qualified consultants must demonstrate expertise in construction management, particularly for federally funded transportation and airport projects, and possess the capability to provide skilled personnel supporting the Construction Management and Inspection Division (CMID). Consultants will be expected to deliver comprehensive services including project planning, inspection, materials testing, document control, and potentially full project teams for complex construction efforts. The RFP requires consultants to have robust financial management systems capable of tracking costs in compliance with federal regulations. The proposal is due on January 10, 2025, with an estimated contract term of three years and potential two one-year optional extensions, not to exceed a total of five years.

The procurement includes a specific 19% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, indicating a commitment to supporting diverse business participation. Potential respondents must be prepared to comply with various federal funding source requirements, including regulations from CalTrans LAPM, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The contract will incorporate federal compliance requirements such as prevailing wage regulations, non-discrimination provisions, and specific grant funding stipulations. Compensation will be structured on a time and expenses model, with specific hourly rates determined in the consultant's cost proposal and individual task orders defining specific project scopes, expected results, deliverables, performance periods, and schedules. The total estimated contract value across all awarded contracts is $25,000,000, representing a significant opportunity for qualified construction support service providers with demonstrated federal project experience and the ability to meet complex administrative and technical requirements.
