The Top of Alabama Regional Council of Governments (TARCOG) hereby solicits written Statements of Qualifications from professional environmental consulting firms interested in contracting with TARCOG to perform grant management activities, environmental assessments, remediation and redevelopment planning, and related professional activities associated with the 2021 Brownfields Coalition Assessment Grant recently awarded to TARCOG by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This brownfields assessment and planning project is federally funded and will require adherence to all federal regulatory conditions required by the EPA. The firm(s) selected will be eligible to negotiate a contract with TARCOG. No minimum order of work is guaranteed. If the selected firm(s) is unsuccessful in negotiating a contract or does not maintain the minimum stated requirements, TARCOG, at its discretion, may select the next ranked firm(s) for contract negotiation. All work will be ordered on an “as-needed” basis within the EPA-approved scope of work for the three-year grant period.

A Request for Qualifications package with detailed requirements and evaluation criteria is available here or by contacting TARCOG EPA Project Administrator, Sara James, at sara.james@tarcog.us.
