The California State Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy) anticipates a need for environmental, engineering, architectural, landscape architectural, and construction project management consulting services for Conservancy projects and programs over the next twelve months. Further, the Conservancy anticipates a need for its grantees to contract for graphic design services for interpretive signage. The Conservancy seeks to identify individuals and firms providing these services. All information received will be kept on file for at least one year from the date of this request. Conservancy staff will use this information in soliciting services, as needed, for upcoming Conservancy projects. Specific project details including contract identification numbers are not available at this point. Any resulting contract will be awarded without discrimination based on race, color, ethnic group identification, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin. State certified Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) are encouraged to submit. The Conservancy requires DVBE participation in every contract, unless specifically exempted by the Executive Officer. Determining factors for exemption include, but are not limited to: (1) little or no DVBE subcontracting opportunities; (2) subcontracting work is not standard in the industry; and (3) work is so specialized that there are few or no DVBEs that can perform the work. The Conservancy encourages all potential contractors to proactively engage with potential DVBE subcontractors. The Conservancy acts to preserve, restore and enhance California's coastal and marine resources and to solve land use problems on the coast and around San Francisco Bay. Conservancy projects fall within the following categories: (1) public access (e.g., trails, bridges, parking, recreational and interpretive facilities); (2) revitalization of urban waterfronts and shoreline facilities; (3) resource conservation and enhancement (e.g., restoration and enhancement of wetlands and endangered species' habitats); (4) coastal preservation (e.g., lot consolidation; transfer of development rights; coastal land acquisition); (5) agricultural land preservation (e.g., acquisition of interests in coastal agricultural land and resolution of land use problems); (6) watershed restoration to improve water quality; (7) marine and coastal resource education; (8) climate change adaptation and mitigation; and (9) urban greening. In connection with projects in these areas, we are soliciting consultants with experience and expertise in: surveying and mapping; climate change issues; construction project management; civil and hydrological engineering; habitat restoration design; landscape architecture; trail planning, design, and engineering; water quality assessment; geotechnical and geomorphic assessment; structural analyses; pre-project feasibility analyses; economic analyses; hazardous or toxic substance investigations; wetland, watershed, or subtidal assessments; archaeological studies; environmental documentation and assessment under the California Environmental Quality Act and other environmental laws and regulation; botanical studies; agricultural studies; soil analyses; biological investigations; natural resource permitting; site and land use planning; environmental monitoring; graphic design for interpretive signs; and other program-related environmental services, such as appraisals for resource conservation purposes. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
