The Town of Moraga Planning Department is seeking to retain up to five (5) firms to provide on-call environmental/CEQA consulting services and on-call contract planning services. The term of the contract will be five (5) years (FY 2022-23 through FY 2027-28) with up to one additional two-year extension. The selected firms will be placed on a Town maintained list of qualified consultants who may be called upon to aid with preparation of CEQA documents and to provide on-call planning services on an as-needed basis. The aggregate total contract for all five firms, over the initial five-year contract period, will be a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000. The contract total with each individual firm will be a not to exceed of $300,000. Anticipated services may include but are not limited to preparation of Environmental Impact Reports, Initial Studies/Negative Declarations or Mitigated Negative Declarations, Addendums, preparation of related technical studies, and planning consultant services including processing of current planning development applications and management or assistance with long range planning initiatives as needed. These services will support the Planning Department in its overall work program. Please note that consultants that only propose to provide either on-call environmental/CEQA or contract planning services are encouraged to apply, as the Town intends to utilize multiple consultants.
The following is the general Scope of Work that is expected under the on-call contract. It is anticipated that a detailed scope of work will be developed for each individual project/work order, in consultation with the selected consultant. When consultant services are required, staff will submit a request for services to one or more of the on-call consultants, including an outline of the proposed project, and expected scope of services. The consultant will then provide a proposed scope of work cost estimate, and schedule, upon which basis the Town will issue a Notice to Proceed/Work Authorization. Most projects are expected to be developer/applicant funded, in which case any notice to proceed shall be contingent upon approval of a reimbursement agreement between the Town and the applicant, for the cost of the consultant's work.
