Solicitation For Statements Of Qualifications For Placement On Prequalified Environmental Consultant List

The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning is soliciting statements of qualifications from environmental consultants to establish a prequalified vendor list for environmental document preparation related to private land use development projects. This procurement seeks to create an official roster of qualified environmental consultants who will be exclusively authorized to prepare environmental review documents for projects within the county's jurisdiction. Only consultants successfully added to this list will be permitted to produce environmental documentation for consideration by county planning authorities. The solicitation focuses on identifying consultants who demonstrate professional expertise, technical proficiency, and the ability to generate accurate, well-organized, and clearly written environmental documents. Interested consultants must submit comprehensive statements of qualifications that highlight their professional capabilities, environmental review experience, and technical competencies. The solicitation was originally posted on March 9, 2015, with a current due date listed as January 16, 3025, which appears to be a potential typographical error. Interested parties are directed to visit http://planning.lacounty.gov/environmental-review for additional procurement details and submission requirements.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to professional environmental consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in land use environmental documentation. The county's selection process will likely involve a comprehensive review of submitted qualifications, focusing on technical competence, professional experience, and documented capability to produce high-quality environmental review documents. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are mentioned in the solicitation details. The prequalified list will serve as a mechanism for the county to ensure that only qualified consultants participate in environmental document preparation for private land use development projects. Potential respondents should carefully review the complete solicitation materials and prepare comprehensive statements of qualifications that thoroughly demonstrate their professional capabilities and environmental review expertise.
