UCLA Non-Project Specific Environmental Hazardous Materials Consultant

ADVERTISEMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT SERVICES

The University of California, Los Angeles, requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select consultant(s) to provide environmental consulting services for asbestos, lead-containing materials, other hazardous materials, and indoor air quality for non-specific UCLA projects.  The tasks would be executed as necessary over the term of the agreement, which may be up to three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years.

The selected consultant(s) will demonstrate a proven ability to provide the services of qualified, properly licensed personnel with expertise in all phases of environmental consulting of hazardous materials in both new and existing buildings.  Familiarity with a full range of project types undertaken by UCLA (including, but not limited to, new construction, renovations, fire-life safety, seismic upgrade, healthcare, housing, classrooms, laboratories, dining facilities, and many other project types) is critical.  Previous experience in public university settings emphasizing past UC experience is preferred.

The scope of services will vary according to the specific requirements of each assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated under UCLA policy at the time of each authorization. Services may include various scales of projects for new or existing buildings and locations on campus.  A specific list of projects has not yet been determined.  Aggregate fees are anticipated to range from $500,000 to $3,000,000 over the agreement term.  However, the selection of any consultant for this project does not guarantee that fees of that value will be expended.

The University may select up to three Environmental consultants to consult for non-project-specific assignments with the University.  Each Environmental consultant selected will work under a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) negotiated with the University, with authorizations for specific assignments from UCLA Capital Programs, Facilities Management, or other University delegated entities.   The scope of services may vary according to the detailed requirements of each assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated under UCLA policy at the time of each authorization.

This selection does not cover services for all Environmental assignments performed by the University.   There may be separate selections for large projects through project-specific advertisements and selection processes.  There may also be small projects that other consultants will perform if they require special knowledge, skills, equipment, or availability of personnel.

The complete RFQ packet will be available at http://www.uclaplanroom.com on Friday, March 7, 2025.  Responses to the RFQ are due by or before 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 31, 2025.  To download the packet, you must create a login and password.   Registration instructions are available at https://www.uclaplanroom.com/help/account.register.  Once in the UCLA Planroom, click the RFQ tab and search for the project to download.  Please download the Planroom RFQ-Upload and Appendix C and D Instructions to ensure your documents are easily located within the Planroom. Failure to comply could result in your submission being overlooked.  The selection committee will base their review of the Environmental submitted proposals and selection on the identified Selection Criteria (Attachment A), determining a shortlist of consultants; further steps in the selection process will be at the selection committee's discretion.

Every effort will be made to ensure that all persons have equal access to contracts and other business opportunities with the University within limits imposed by law or University policy.  Each Candidate Consultant may be required to show evidence of its equal employment opportunity policy.
