Subject: RFQ for CEQA/NEPA Qualified Consultant List
The Community Development Department is interested in establishing a list of qualified environmental consulting firms to assist in the preparation and management of environmental assessments under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for land use development projects. The Community Development Department intends to select up to ten qualified firms who will be placed on an official. list to be called upon to aid in preparing environmental documents on an as-needed, project-by project basis. The selected firms will be kept on the official list for a five year period.
The benefits of having a qualified list of environmental consultants are substantial. It would enable the Department to have access to specialized expertise, provide efficiency and time savings by having on-call available services, potential cost savings for applicants and developers, mitigate risks by having vetted environmental firms produce environmental documents for the department, and will help the Department keep up with best management practices (BMPs) in the fields of land use, environmental and development.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
