To ensure an open and competitive proposal process, the RFP was posted on the Orange County website and on our e-procurement platform. A query from staff to potential sources who declined to participate in the procurement process resulted in the following findings:
A2H Engineers: The solicitation is outside of the firm’s area of expertise.
BCC Engineering: The firm has not possessed the required similar project experience within the last 30 years.
CDM Smith: At this time the firm does not have capacity to pursue a project with Orange County.
