Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Compass Blueprint Demonstration Project program
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
Submittal Deadline: February 18, 2008

RFP Number: 08-037

ABOUT SCAG
Over the past four decades, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has evolved as the largest of nearly 700 councils of government in the United States, functioning as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial.

As the designated MPO, SCAG is mandated by the federal government to research and put together plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous waste management, and air quality.

SCAG relies heavily on outside consultants and vendors to help accomplish the overall mission and objectives of SCAG. We are always striving to increase the breadth and depth of talent in our pool of potential consultants and vendors, and are especially interested in bringing more certified DBEs into the database.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The intent of the RFQ is to establish a list (bench) of qualified consultant firms to provide services to SCAG through the Compass Blueprint program on an as-needed basis for one or all of 6 areas of work identified in the Scope of Work.  Under this bench contract, SCAG anticipates funding 30 to 40 Demonstration Projects, via Task Order that are anticipated to range from $10,000 to $250,000.

Although it is SCAG's intent to ensure the widest distribution of contract opportunities to the greatest number of consultants, being qualified to the bench does not guarantee receipt of a Task Order.  Further, SCAG does not guarantee any specific amount of work.
