Request for Statement of Interest and Qualifications
"Surveying Services for the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS)"
RSIQ No. 2503-27-01
July 10, 2026
1.1 Purpose
The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) hereby invites Proposers to submit a Statement of
Interest and Qualifications (SIQ) to survey all sites in the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) as
described in the Scope of Services (Enclosure 1).
1.2 Term of Contract
The proposed contract and rate schedule will be negotiated with the Proposer(s) selected by the CPRA. The term
of the Contract will begin on or about December 1, 2026 and is anticipated to end on March 31, 2028. The
CPRA’s Professional Services Contract will be used for this contract (Enclosure 2).
1.3 SIQ Submittal and Schedule
Proposers electing to submit a SIQ as a prime contractor cannot be listed as a subcontractor on another Proposer’s
SIQ. Firms not submitting as prime contractor are allowed to be listed as a subcontractor on as many SIQs as
they deem appropriate.
Should you wish to respond to this request for an SIQ, submit one (1) original hard copy, clearly marked
“Original” that is signed by an authorized representative of the Prime Proposer, one (1) additional paper
copy of the SIQ, and two (2) USB flash drives with digital copies of the SIQ in .pdf format. Elaborate SIQs
are neither required nor desired. The CPRA prefers a simple presentation and discourages extensive use of artistic
designs, use of hard binders, etc.
Included in the Proposer’s SIQ should be:
(1) An executive summary stating the firms’ particular expertise, resources, and advantages they will bring to
the CPRA. Limit this summary to two (2) pages;
(2) Standard Form: CPRA 24-102 (Rev. 5/2022) which is attached (Enclosure 4). In the event the SIQ contains
subcontractors, the particular type of service the subcontractor will perform together with the relevant
experience should be included.
(3) Certification Statement: The Proposer must sign and submit the Certification Statement shown in Enclosure
5.
(4) Subcontractors: Persons who are not full-time employees of the Proposer shall be considered subcontractors.
All subcontractors necessary to conduct the work should be identified as specified in Section 1.14 “Use of
Subcontractors”, including the projected percentage of the scope of services to be accomplished by each
subcontractor. For each subcontractor, the Proposer should include letters of agreement to undertake their
portion of the proposed work.
Included in the Proposer’s SIQ must be a separate SF CPRA 24-102 form completed by each
subcontractor. Company names listed on the SF CPRA 24-102 must precisely match the names filed with
the Louisiana Secretary of State, Corporation Division, and the Louisiana State Board of Registration for
Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Resumes or any organizational chart included in the SF 24-102
shall clearly state the location (city and state) of the office in which the staff member resides. Any potential
contractor failing to submit any of the information required on the SF CPRA 24-102 will be considered
non-responsive.
An informational pre-submittal meeting will be held at the CPRA office, 150 Terrace Avenue, 4th Floor, Baton
Rouge, LA. The meeting will also be hosted via ZOOM. The purpose of the meeting is to present and clarify
information about the RSIQ, the Contract Scope, scoring criteria and evaluation process. Although impromptu
questions will be permitted and spontaneous answers will be provided during the meeting, the only official answer
or position of CPRA will be stated in writing in response to written questions. The pre-submittal meeting is not
mandatory. The meeting will be held on August 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST.
If Proposers attend the pre-submittal meeting in person, send notification to Ms. Gloria Tigner at
CPRAcontracts@la.gov to receive parking instructions. Due to limited space at the CPRA Building, CPRA
requests that Proposers limit their attendance to no more than two (2) individuals per Proposer team.
The meeting can also be accessed via ZOOM. Proposers and Subcontractors must register in advance at the link
below. Once registered, a link to the ZOOM meeting will be sent to the email address used to register.

Ms. Gloria Tigner at CPRAcontracts@la.gov and received by 3:00 p.m. CST, August 21, 2026. Official

The general criteria to be used by CPRA in evaluating responses for the selection of potential Proposers to perform
these services are attached (Enclosure 3). Multiple contracts may be awarded to those proposers whose

1.5 Hudson Initiative Programs Participation
The State of Louisiana Veteran and Hudson Initiatives are designed to provide additional opportunities for
Louisiana-based small entrepreneurships (sometimes referred to as LaVet’s and SE’s respectively) to participate
in contracting and procurement with the state. A certified Veteran-Owned and Service-Connected Disabled
Veteran-Owned small entrepreneurships (LaVet) and a Louisiana Initiative for Small Entrepreneurships (Hudson
Initiative) small entrepreneurship are businesses that have been certified by the Louisiana Department of
Economic Development. All eligible vendors are encouraged to become certified. Qualification requirements and
online certification are available at https://smallbiz.louisianaeconomicdevelopment.com/Account/Login
If a Proposer is not a certified small entrepreneurship as described herein, but plans to use certified small
entrepreneurship(s), Proposer shall include in their SIQ the names of their certified Veteran Initiative or Hudson
Initiative small entrepreneurship subcontractor(s), a description of the work each will perform, and the estimated
dollar value or percentage of each subcontract.
During the term of the contract and at expiration, the Contractor will also be required to report Veteran-Owned
and Service-Connected Disabled Veteran-Owned and Hudson Initiative small entrepreneurship subcontractor or
distributor participation and the dollar amount of each.
In RSIQ’s requiring the compliance of a good faith subcontracting plan, the State may require Proposers to submit
information on their business relationships and arrangements with certified LaVet or Hudson Initiative
subcontractors at the time of SIQ review. Agreements between a Proposer and a certified Hudson Initiative
subcontractor in which the certified LaVet or Hudson Initiative subcontractor promises not to provide
subcontracting quotations or services to other Proposers shall be prohibited.
If performing its evaluation of SIQs, the State reserves the right to require a non-certified Proposer to provide
documentation and information supporting a good faith subcontracting plan. Such proof may include contracts
between Proposer and certified Veteran Initiative and/or Hudson Initiative subcontractor(s).
If a Contract is awarded to a Proposer who proposed a good faith subcontracting plan, the CPRA, the Louisiana
Department of Economic Development (LED), or the Office of State Procurement (OSP) may audit the Contractor
to determine whether Contractor has complied in good faith with its subcontracting plan. The Contractor must
be able to provide supporting documentation (i.e., phone logs, fax transmittals, letter, e-mails) to demonstrate its
good faith subcontracting plan was followed. If it is determined at any time by the CPRA, LED, or the OSP
Director that the Contractor did not in fact perform in good faith its subcontracting plan, the contract award or the
existing contract may be terminated.

When using this site, determine the search criteria (i.e. alphabetized list of all certified vendors, by commodities,
etc.) and select SE, VSE, or DVSE.
To expedite the Hudson and Veteran verification process, it is highly desirable for the Prime Proposer
and all Subcontractors to include a copy of the certificate in the SIQ submitted. Hudson and Veteran
certifications with the Louisiana Department of Economic Development must be active at the time of SIQ
submission.

requirement notwithstanding, Proposers may enter into subcontractor arrangements, however, shall acknowledge
in their SIQs total responsibility for the entire contract.

relationships and include specific designations of the types of tasks to be performed by the subcontractor.
