Consulting Services - SB 1383 Compliance Site Visits

The City of West Sacramento, a vibrant Northern California riverfront community with a population of just over 55,000, is seeking consulting services to support compliance with California’s SB 1383 regulations through site visits. The solicitation (25-089-RFP) was posted in January 2026 and invites qualified consultants to provide expert services ensuring the city's adherence to state-mandated organic waste reduction requirements. The City’s government operates under a Council/Manager form and manages a broad portfolio of municipal services, including water, wastewater, solid waste, and economic development, with nearly 500 full-time employees. This contract positions the consultant as an independent contractor and details the scope of services, compensation, and terms of engagement with provisions on amendments, suspension, and termination. To meet contractual obligations, consultants must adhere to the City’s rigorous insurance requirements outlined for all standard contracts, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability where applicable. Insurance policies must identify the City as an additional insured and carry specific endorsements to protect both parties effectively. The contract framework includes indemnification and compliance provisions to safeguard the City against employment benefit liabilities or other claims tied to the consultant’s independent status. The solicitation’s point of contact is a Senior Analyst from the City’s Community Development - Sustainability office, underscoring the project’s focus on environmental and regulatory compliance within West Sacramento’s broader community development initiatives.
