On-Call Registered Professional Forester (RPF) Services

The Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District is establishing a five‑year pre‑qualified list of licensed Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs) to provide on‑call forestry consulting services across its 13,000+ acres of parkland. Qualified foresters will develop and approve fuels‑reduction and forest‑health prescriptions, train and supervise District staff and contractors, conduct site visits, ensure compliance with state regulations, and produce required documentation. The RFQ seeks Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from individuals, small firms, or teams; successful respondents will be added to the list and may be invited to submit project proposals as needs arise. • Scope includes prescription development, hazard‑tree assessments, training, on‑site/remote oversight, and documentation. • Projects involve manual thinning, eucalyptus removal, and other vegetation‑management activities, often under state wildfire emergency authorizations. • Pre‑qualification valid for up to five years; no guarantee of work. • Submission limited to eight pages (excluding required front matter) and must be filed electronically by Nov 2, 2026. • Evaluation based on licensing, team qualifications, relevant experience (minimum three similar projects), approach, availability, references, and ability to meet insurance/contract requirements.
