RFP No. 23RD003 Air Toxic Pollutants Associated Cancer Health Monetization Research

This Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to solicit competitive proposals from experienced and qualified contractors to develop a methodology to quantify and monetize cancer cases that are statistically estimated due to exposure to toxic air pollutants. The primary objectives are to develop a methodology to convert cancer risk estimates to expected cancer cases, monetize reduced incident cancer cases for reductions in selected toxic air pollutants, and ensure the methodologies are applicable to statewide reduction of air toxics risk and can inform risk reduction policies at local or regional levels. The contract term is 24 months, and the total budget is $500,000. CARB will evaluate proposals based on technical approach, experience, project management, quality assurance, and cost. The deadline for receipt of proposals is May 7, 2024.

Proposers may be eligible for socio-economic preferences such as the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentive. The primary jurisdictions for this RFP are Sacramento County and Sacramento City. CARB has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for the proposed contract is limited to $500,000, and any cost proposals exceeding this amount will be disqualified and ineligible for award.
