BACKGROUND: Click or tap here to enter text.
Historically, PDS has used consultants through the On-Call program to perform work where the required expertise or County staff is not available. This work is always performed under the direction of a Project Manager employed by the County.
Since project volume and the required expertise for certain elements of the approved projects are not available through County staff, PDS has determined a need for the continued use of on-call consultants.
The above referenced consultants were the highest ranking of the sixteen (16) consultants responding to RFQ-26-0705BC, for On-Call Consultant Services, and were selected through established Federal, State and County policies and practices.
