AI overview
OC Public Works, on behalf of the County of Orange and the Orange County Flood Control District, is soliciting qualifications from firms to provide Architect-Engineer (A-E) Flood Control Engineering Services under task order contracts. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will establish Qualified Vendor Lists (QVL) for A-E disciplines to support the County's maintenance and capital projects on an as-needed basis. The County reserves the right to make multiple awards, and any contracts resulting from this solicitation will have a term of three (3) years. No specified amount of work is guaranteed to any respondent.
Selected firms will provide supplemental professional services to meet workload demands and project scheduling commitments, including A-E design, project administration, and project management services for County-wide and District-wide flood control infrastructure. Services will be delivered through individual task orders negotiated on an as-needed basis. The scope covers a range of engineering disciplines relevant to flood control and public works infrastructure, including civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, oil and gas, ocean, and transportation engineering, as well as permitting services. The County of Orange consists of 22 agencies and departments, and because the Flood Control District relies on County staff to carry out its duties, the District will also be included as a party to resulting contracts.
Key dates include a solicitation release date of July 1, 2026, a Q&A deadline of July 16, 2026 at 9:00 PM, and a proposal submission deadline of August 13, 2026 at 9:00 PM. Responses must be submitted through the OpenGov procurement portal. The solicitation includes a draft model contract (Attachment A, revised July 10) and the Orange County District Attorney's Office Public Works Unit document (Attachment B). Proposals will be evaluated using the written Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) scoring format described in the RFQ.
The RFQ incorporates protest procedures, federal provisions for non-federally assisted airport contracts, and Orange County Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) preference policy certification requirements. The procurement contact is Robert Esparza, Procurement Contract Analyst, at robert.esparza@pw.oc.gov or (714) 667-9747. At the conclusion of the three-year contract term, the County may issue a new solicitation to allow additional contractors to compete for future services.
