The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is requesting qualifications from consultant firms to serve as the Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) for the NCTCOG Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program. The consultant will perform QEP functions as required by the NCTCOG Cooperative Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The QEP will be responsible to provide the required environmental oversight of cleanup activities at one or more sites throughout the NCTCOG 12-county region. Consultants will need to be familiar with the local, State, and federal rules and regulations of various hazardous and petroleum cleanup processes. The QEP will oversee the cleanup process and invoice submission of sites entered in the NCTCOG Brownfield RLF Program from beginning to end of cleanup. The number of sites entered in the program may range depending on local government participation and funding requested per site, but it is anticipated to range from 1-6 sites for the program.

This card is an invitation to respond to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Qualifications must be received by 5:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on Friday, January 8, 2010.
