Does the $1 million threshold apply to a consultant who has contracts with both Caltrans and local government agencies?
A. No. In California, the threshold is determined by each individual contracting government agency. Therefore, if a consultant competes for an advertised Caltrans A&E contract of $1 Million or more OR the aggregate of the advertised contract PLUS current contracts with Caltrans total $1 million or more, the consultant must submit an indirect cost rate package (ICR) or a cognizant-agency approved ICR letter of concurrence/approval, a completed Consultant Questionnaire and supporting schedules, and the consultant’s “Disclosures and Information” in a separately sealed envelope along with its SOQ (also in a separately sealed envelope). The same determination process applies to each local government agency.
