UCLA Non-Project Specific-Environmental Consulting Services | Asbestos, Lead-containing materials, other hazardous Material, and Indoor air quality
ADVERTISEMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES FOR ASBESTOS, LEAD-CONTAINING MATERIALS, OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY
UCLA requests a written response to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for consideration in selecting a Consultant to provide environmental consulting services for asbestos, leadcontaining materials, other hazardous materials, and indoor air quality for various non-specific UCLA projects.
The consulting services scope may include various scales of projects for new or existing buildings and locations on campus. A specific list of projects is not yet developed. The selected Consultant will perform work under a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with the University, with authorizations for specific assignments from Capital Programs, Facilities Management, and Business and Administrative Services. The work 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 scope of services will vary according to the specific requirements of each assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated per UCLA policy at the time of each authorization. We anticipated aggregate expenditures in the range of $500,000 to $3,000,000 over the PSA term. However, the selection of any consultant for this project does not guarantee that fees of that value will be expended.
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 with an emphasis on past UC experience is preferred.
The complete RFQ packet will be available at http://www.capitalprograms.ucla.edu/Contracts/RFQProjects on Tuesday, May 11, 2021. Responses to the RFQ are due before or by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 26, 2021. A shortlist of firms will be determined by a screening committee; further steps in the selection process will be at the discretion of the selection committee.
We make every effort 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 firm may be required to show evidence of its equal employment opportunity policy.

Resource Management Agency
Planning
800 S. Victoria Avenue
Ventura CA 93009
SERVICES TENTATIVELY REQUESTED
The County of Ventura, Resource Management Agency, Planning Division (hereinafter County), is requesting proposals for consultant services to perform the tasks relating to the Surface Mine Inspections Program, currently performed by County staff. The County is currently responsible for the inspection, reporting and enforcement of violations for eleven (11) active surface mines within the Countys jurisdiction. These mines currently extract sand, gravel, clay, silica sand, gypsum, and hard rock. Each mine has a Conditional Use Permit which details the mines operational requirements, and each is subject to regulations outlined by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) enacted by the California Department of Conservation. Under SMARA, the County is responsible for assuring that adverse environmental impacts are minimized and mined lands are reclaimed to a usable condition. In order to actively mine within the County, certain criteria must be met to ensure compliance with SMARA. Each mine also has a Reclamation Plan which details the plans for complete reclamation of the mine site after mining has ceased. The Reclamation Plan is used as a tool to guide the mine operator in achieving site reclamation once the life of the mined site has ended. To ensure compliance, the mine operator must comply with the Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation Plan through the life of the project and permit annual inspections by the County. An understanding of each sites Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation Plan is the primary instrument used to address compliance during annual site visits.
Along with the Reclamation Plan, certain financial obligations must be met. An annual Financial Assurance Cost Estimate (FACE) must be reported by the mine operator to identify the total cost of immediate reclamation. Each mine operator is responsible for maintaining a Financial Assurance Mechanism (FAM), which holds the operator accountable for total reclamation outlined in the FACE. The mine operator is also responsible for maintaining a deposit account with the County to fund time spent during inspection and reporting. The County works together with the Division of Mine Reclamation (DMR) and the mine operator to ensure compliance with SMARA and proper reclamation of each mine site.
