AI Contract Overview

The California Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety is issuing Request for Qualifications RFQ 26-039868 to establish lists of qualified Independent Evaluators (IEs) to serve nine electrical corporations. The primary objective is to engage firms capable of reviewing and assessing the implementation of approved Wildfire Mitigation Plans (WMPs), focusing on initiative targets, funding compliance, and the validation of quality assurance and quality control programs. Selected IEs will be responsible for producing an Independent Evaluator Annual Implementation Report (IE AIR), which involves a structured four-step evaluation process including initiative cataloging, sampling via Cochran's formula, and field verification. Qualified applicants must submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) by November 2, 2026, including a transmittal letter, qualifications matrix, reference sheet, and conflict of interest declarations. Minimum requirements include having at least one engineer licensed in California, a registered Professional Forester or ISA Certified Arborist, and a Qualified Electrical Worker. Evaluation is based on qualifications rather than cost, with a strict pass/fail completeness review followed by a rating evaluation. Once the IE lists are published by December 1, 2026, electrical corporations must execute contracts with an IE within 60 days. Draft reports are due by June 5, 2027, with final versions due by July 1, 2027.
