RFP - Professional Engineering Services for CSA 70 BL Septic-to-Sewer Expansion Project

The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works is soliciting proposals for professional engineering design services for the CSA 70 BL (Bloomington) Septic-to-Sewer Expansion Project. This initiative aims to improve public health and environmental conditions by converting existing septic systems to a centralized sewer system. The selected firm will be responsible for a comprehensive scope of work, including the preparation of final design plans, specifications, and estimates, as well as conducting design surveys, hydraulic modeling, geotechnical investigations, and ensuring environmental compliance. A critical component of the project is the preparation of the final CWSRF Construction Application, as the project is funded by the California State Water Resources Control Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program. The contract has a maximum term of five years and requires strict adherence to California state laws, including prevailing wage requirements under the California Labor Code and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act. Technical deliverables must be submitted for review at the 50, 95, and 100 percent design stages and must bear the seals and wet-signed signatures of registered professionals licensed in California. Proposals are evaluated based on a weighted system consisting of qualifications and experience (45 percent), technical review (45 percent), and references (10 percent). The final submission deadline for proposals is November 17, 2026, with submissions required via the County Electronic Procurement Network or in hard copy.
