On-call Drafting and Technical Writing Engineering Services

The Department of Water Resources (DWR), Division of Operations and Maintenance (O & M), is seeking qualified firms to provide on-call drafting and technical writing engineering services. The selected firm will be responsible for developing engineering drawings and documents using Autodesk AutoCAD and Adobe InDesign, pertaining to the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment at various pumping and generating facilities of the California State Water Project. The contract term is estimated to be 3 years, with the option for up to 2 one-year extensions. A mandatory pre-SOQ conference will be held on August 5, 2024 to discuss the new negotiations process, and responses to the RFQ are due by August 16, 2024 at 2:00 PM. The contract will be negotiated based on the firm's true and actual cost with a fixed profit rate established by DWR.

While this RFQ does not require Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certification, DWR strongly encourages prime firms to partner with California certified small businesses. The estimated contract value range is $20,000,000 to $30,000,000, and DWR will review the selected firm's financial information to determine a fair and reasonable cost.
