The City of Placerville seeks proposals from qualified consultants to provide on-call CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) consulting services, with a primary focus on peer review of environmental documents and potentially support staffing to augment City resources. The City processes various development projects, planning initiatives, and infrastructure improvements that require compliance with CEQA, including preparation and review of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), Negative Declarations (NDs), and other related documentation. Due to limited in-house staffing and the need for specialized expertise, the City requires external consultants for independent peer review to ensure document quality, regulatory compliance, and objectivity. Additionally, consultants may provide temporary staff support for CEQA-related tasks, such as technical analysis, public consultation assistance, and project coordination under the direction of City staff. This RFP aims to establish a contract with one or more firms for on-call services over an initial term of two years, with options for renewal. Services will align with state mandates, including CEQA guidelines, and incorporate best practices for environmental review. The selected consultant(s) will work closely with the Development Services Department to support efficient project processing while maintaining environmental protections.
