2026-2031 Right Of Way On-Call Services

The County of Madera is soliciting statements of qualifications to establish a list of competent consultants for on-call right of way services for multiple Capital Improvement Projects from 2026 to 2031. The county intends to award master on-call contracts to four consultants, though a minimum of two may be selected based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications. The total cumulative value for these services will not exceed one million dollars over the five-year term. Work will be assigned through a competitive mini-RFP process via individual task orders, with payments made monthly in arrears based on specific fixed rates of compensation. The scope of work encompasses right of way project management, turnkey right of way services, property management, and support for the County's Real Property Agent. Consultants must adhere to the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual, the Federal and State Uniform Act, and Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution. Key personnel, specifically project managers, must have at least five years of experience in a right of way organization with eminent domain power. Proposals must be submitted electronically via BidExpress by September 28, 2026. Submissions must include an introductory letter, a one-page executive summary, a technical response, an organizational chart, and required certifications regarding conflict of interest and equal employment opportunity. Selected consultants must provide proof of comprehensive insurance, including one million dollars in general and automobile liability, and certify that they are not debarred or suspended from state or federally funded contracts. All contracts will be based on the Madera County Master Contract Agreement No. 016 for Professional Services.
