PE Rates in California
(OP)
My company based in Kansas City is preparing to quote design and construction of an extensive hydraulic system for a civil project in California. Review and sign off by a registered PE in California is required should we win the bid. Can anyone out there share any PE consulting rates for California with me, so I know what to bid for this portion of the project? Thanks!

As far as the other suggestions (get a CA PE; use a local engineer with a CA PE, etc.), those are all good, but if you price it based on having the work done in CA, you'll be safe.

From what I (and others have read), you are preparing a bid for professional services. Apparently California has no QBS also? Then you are asking for a ballpark rate for a yet to found California PE to throw into your bid. This because your firm is in Kansas City with no apparent licensed engineers in California. You then intend to proceed to artificially set a maximum price in your bid for this yet to be found California PE's review of your work.
Maybe try this approach: A local key client of ours is expanding into California. We don't have a presence there but would like to team with a local firm to support our client. This should be mutually beneficial to both companies for this project and others moving forward.
