Summary

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Town of Prescott Valley Public Works Department for professional engineering services to prepare a Design Concept Report (DCR) for the Florentine Road Improvement Project (CIP #CS2706). The project scope requires consultants to evaluate existing corridor conditions, identify constraints, develop and compare conceptual improvement alternatives, and recommend a preferred concept for future design and construction. The services encompass project management and coordination, existing conditions assessment, right-of-way evaluation, conceptual roadway and drainage alternatives, utility assessment, traffic and multimodal evaluation, cost estimation, implementation strategy, and a comprehensive Design Concept Report with 15% design plans. Statements of Qualifications are due by 3:30 PM Arizona MST on Monday, November 9, 2026, submitted electronically through the Town's Bonfire Procurement Portal. A non-mandatory pre-submittal conference is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM Arizona MST via Microsoft Teams. The Town anticipates completion of the Design Concept Report within approximately 6 to 9 months from the Notice to Proceed. The Selection Committee will evaluate submissions based on project understanding, schedule and cost controls, quality control ability, firm experience, roadway design expertise, project manager qualifications, project staff capabilities, and references. Up to three qualified firms may be selected for presentation-interview sessions, with contract award anticipated on February 15, 2027, following Town Council recommendation on February 11, 2027.

The RFQ specifies that compensation will be negotiated with the selected consultant based on the proposed fee schedule and a not-to-exceed cost for reimbursable expenses. Consultants must demonstrate current registration pursuant to A.R.S. 32-141 and maintain professional liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or 10% of the construction budget, whichever is larger. The contract will be governed by Arizona Revised Statutes 34-603 and awarded based on demonstrated competence and qualifications rather than price. Future final design services, including 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) submittals, technical specifications, permitting, detailed drainage design, and construction support are anticipated to be negotiated with the selected consultant upon authorization to proceed following the sale of street bonds. Consultants must submit detailed project schedules, firm information, proposed team member qualifications with resumes, relevant project experience from the past five years, familiarity with the local area, capacity and capability statements, and at least three professional references.
