20684 - Preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIR)

The County of Placer is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified firms for the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs). The Placer County Environmental Review Ordinance requires that EIRs prepared for private and public projects must be prepared by consultants under contract to Placer County. This provision is mandatory for all projects. The County enters into three-party contracts with the Consultant and the applicant for the preparation of such EIRs. The County will negotiate and enter into a contract directly with the Consultant for the preparation of EIRs for projects undertaken by the County. The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to establish a Qualified List of firms for the preparation of EIRs. Qualified firms will be selected based on qualifications in accordance with the provisions of this RFQ. The resulting list will be valid for a period of three (3) years from the date of award with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods.
