Request for Qualifications
Once a site is enrolled in RPC's Brownfield Redevelopment Program, RPC develops a Scope of Work for either a Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessment (ESA), which includes a description of the work to be performed, the total budget amount, and a timeline for completion. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is then announced in the Times-Picayune newspaper and on RPC's website at least 10 working days prior to the next Commission meeting (generally held on the second Tuesday of every month).
Qualified firms for Phase I ESAs will have the required experience and qualifications as outlined the investigations. Firms applying for a Phase II ESA will be familiar with EPA's requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP) and will have someone on staff that has attended QAPP training. Other conditions will be outlined in the scope of work. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Brownfield Coordinator at (504) 483-8500 with any questions they might have.
Current RFQs: At this time, RPC does not have any open RFQs under the Brownfield Redevelopment Program.
Invoice Progress Evaluation Form: Successful applicants are required to attach a Progress Evaluation Form to each of their invoices, along with a brief narrative of the work performed during the invoice period. Invoices submitted a week or more before the next Commission meeting (second Tuesday of each month) will be submitted for Commission approval at that meeting. Once the Commission approves the invoice, it is submitted to EPA for payment. Once payment is received from EPA, RPC cuts a check to the consultant for payment of the invoice.
