The Napa County Planning, Building, and Environmental Services (PBES) Department is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in order to solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for consideration to be tested and placed on a list of Pre-Qualified Professionals to prepare and submit erosion control plans for Track II vineyard replant projects. In accordance with the Napa County Conservation Regulations (Section 18.108.080(D)(2)(a)(ii) of the County Code) and Resolution No. 94-19, erosion control plans for vineyard replant projects may be prepared by a person selected from a pre-qualified list of professionals made available by the County. The types of plans prepared by individuals from the list are referred to as Track II Vineyard Erosion Control Plans (or "Track II plans"). Track II Plan decisions are ministerial pursuant to Napa County's CEQA Guidelines, Section 501 and Section 15268 of the California Environmental Quality Act, and receive no technical review by the County and/or the County's consultants. The Track II process requires the consultant to provide oversight of the installation and monitoring of the erosion control measures as proposed in accordance with Chapter 18.108.135 of the Napa County Code. Napa County wishes to select multiple qualified professionals for inclusion on the list of prequalified professionals. If multiple professionals apply who are employed by the same firm, each consultant must apply individually. The qualification applies to an individual and not the firm of employment. If you are currently on the list of pre-qualified professionals, you must re-apply, test, and be selected to continue to be on the revised and updated list. The number of consultants ultimately selected will be determined during the selection process based upon several factors, including qualifications of the applicant pool, relevant experience preparing the submittal of successful agricultural erosion control plans, and demonstrated ability to prepare agricultural erosion control plans in conformance with applicable County regulations, and references.
