City List of Approved Environmental Consultants

NOTICE: Effective July 1, 2025, applicants who submit a Planning application for a private development or use that requires review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) must either:

  1. Directly contract with an environmental consultant on the City's pre-qualified environmental consulting services list (Category 1 below).
  2. Contract with an environmental consultant of their choice but have the work peer reviewed by an environmental consultant on the City's pre-qualified peer review for environmental consulting services list (Category 2 below).

Background: In February 2025, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a list of pre-qualified consultants to provide planning and environmental services for both private development projects and City-led initiatives. Consultants were invited to submit qualifications for four distinct categories:

  1. Pre-qualified Environmental Consulting Services
  2. Pre-qualified Peer Review for Environmental Consulting Services
  3. Planning and Environmental Services (directly for the City of Hanford)
  4. Contract Planning Staff Services

Below is the list of consultants chosen by the City for the first two categories. Anyone with questions about this list may contact Gabrielle Myers.
