06A3314 ¿ A&E On-Call Engineering Surveying Services for District 10

Caltrans is seeking qualified firms to provide on-call Engineering Surveying Services through a three-year contract with an estimated value between $3,203,280 and $5,205,330, supporting transportation system improvements across eight central California counties: Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquín, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne. Work is performed on an as-needed basis via individual Task Orders, with specific locations and deliverables defined in each order, and excludes K-Phase planning and IT-related activities. Respondents must submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) that adhere to strict formatting and structural requirements, including seven clearly labeled sections with page limits—three pages for the prime consultant’s transmittal letter, one page per subconsultant, and four pages for the prime’s additional information section, with all documents in 8.5” x 11” format and minimum 8-point font. Offers must include resumes for up to five key personnel, with the prime’s contract manager required to hold a valid California Professional Land Surveyor license or pre-1982 Registered Civil Engineer designation. Compliance with prevailing wage laws mandates DIR registration and certification, and firms must submit DIR Web record documentation along with any applicable DBE or DVBE certifications, even though no participation goal is mandated. The use of Generative AI in producing deliverables that materially impact functionality or risk requires explicit written disclosure to Caltrans, and failure to disclose may result in disqualification. All deliverables, including survey data, maps, and digital files, must conform to Caltrans manuals, Standard Specifications, CADD standards, and photogrammetric mapping symbols, with digital signatures and proper labeling—including Caltrans-furnished monument tags bearing the consultant’s license number. Evaluation prioritizes technical merit through a consensus-based process, with an Initial Evaluation Score accounting for 25% of the final score and the remainder derived from oral presentations and responses to technical scenarios, indicating a trade-off methodology that favors overall capability over price. Electronic submission via email or the official portal is required, and attachments such as Conflict of Interest disclosures, DVBE certification letters, and DIR registration must accompany the SOQ. While no formal FAR clauses or detailed pricing line items are included, the contract administration framework requires monthly electronic invoicing aligned with task order completion, and Caltrans retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance of all work.
