On-Call Registered Professional Forester (RPF) Services

The Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (District) is seeking Statements of Qualifications from licensed Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs) to join its prequalified list for on-call RPF services. The District manages more than 13,000 acres of parks and open space across the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Valley, and the Santa Lucia Range, including oak woodland, Monterey pine, redwood, and other forested landscapes. The District is actively reducing wildfire risk and improving forest health on these lands, with several fuels reduction projects ready to begin as early as this fall. Prequalified RPFs will serve as the RPF in charge on District projects, providing prescription development and approval, on-site and remote oversight, supervision of District staff and crews, and documentation. District staff will serve as the RPF’s trained designees, so the District is looking for RPFs who can provide practical, efficient oversight that meets project requirements. Respondents found qualified will be added to the prequalified list for up to five (5) years. When a project needs RPF support, the District will select the most qualified RPF from the list and request a project proposal. Individual RPFs, small firms, and teams are encouraged to respond.
