I. Introduction.

Park City Municipal Corporation (“PCMC” or “City”) is seeking statements of qualifications

(“SOQs”) from qualified professional engineering firms to provide design engineering services for six planned water and stormwater infrastructure projects identified in the Water

Department's Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”).

The projects are part of PCMC's ongoing capital improvement and asset management programs to replace aging and failure-prone infrastructure, improve system reliability, and address other identified water and stormwater infrastructure needs. The six projects vary in length, complexity, existing conditions, and required supporting services. Project-specific information is provided in the Project Information Sheets attached to this RSOQ.

PCMC intends to complete design of the projects during the fall and winter of 2026–2027. Final, bid-ready design documents for the Park Avenue Waterline & Stormwater Replacement Project and Park City Stormwater Infrastructure Improvements Project shall be completed no later than

March 31, 2027. Final, bid-ready design documents for all other projects shall be completed no later than January 31, 2027.

Respondents may submit qualifications for one, multiple, or all six projects and are not required to submit qualifications for all projects to be considered. Respondents shall clearly identify the specific project(s) for which they wish to be considered.

Because multiple projects will be designed concurrently, Respondents shall clearly identify the number and specific combination of projects they have the staffing and capacity to successfully complete by the applicable project deadlines. A Respondent seeking consideration for multiple projects shall identify whether it has the capacity to perform all identified projects concurrently and, if not, identify its preferred project(s) and the maximum workload it can accept.

PCMC anticipates entering into one or more Design Professional Services Agreements, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, with the selected Respondent(s).

II. Scope of Project.

A. General Scope

PCMC is seeking professional design engineering services to develop complete, bid-ready design documents for six water and stormwater infrastructure projects. Each project is described separately in the Project Information Sheets attached to this RSOQ.

The Project Information Sheets identify, as applicable, the approximate project limits and length, anticipated infrastructure improvements, existing infrastructure, known site constraints, fiber-optic improvements, geotechnical investigation requirements, mining-impacted soils or environmental considerations, survey requirements, permitting considerations, and other project-specific design requirements.

RSOQ Template 6-26 4

The selected Design Professional(s) shall provide the professional services necessary to develop the assigned project(s) from preliminary design through final construction documents. Unless specifically modified by a Project Information Sheet, the anticipated scope of services for each project includes the following:

1. Project Management & Coordination

Coordinate the work of the project team and subconsultants; maintain the project schedule; perform internal quality assurance/quality control; coordinate with PCMC staff; and manage the integration of all project elements into the final design.

2. Project Kickoff and Site Reconnaissance

Participate in a project kickoff meeting with PCMC staff and conduct a site visit for each assigned project to review existing conditions, utilities, access, anticipated construction constraints, restoration requirements, and other project-specific considerations.

3. Existing Information Review

Review available information provided by PCMC, which may include GIS utility data, record drawings, aerial photography, LiDAR/topographic information, property and right-of-way information, existing utility information, water system information, maintenance history, and other available project records.

The Design Professional shall identify additional information necessary to complete the design and coordinate collection of that information with PCMC.

4. Survey & Base Mapping

Provide the survey, mapping, utility research and locating, and other field information necessary to complete the design when identified as required in the applicable Project

Information Sheet. Survey shall be prepared in PCMC's required coordinate system and shall provide sufficient information to develop accurate plan and profile drawings and construction documents.

Where a Project Information Sheet indicates that PCMC-provided aerial photography, LiDAR, existing survey, or other mapping may be used in lieu of or to supplement field survey, Respondents shall account for those conditions in their SOQ.

5. Geotechnical & Environmental Investigation

Where identified in the applicable Project Information Sheet, provide geotechnical and/or environmental investigation necessary to support the design. Services may include evaluation of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions, trenching and pipeline installation recommendations, subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, evaluation of mining-related contaminants or other environmental conditions, and preparation of soils handling or other project-specific recommendations.

RSOQ Template 6-26 5

6. Design Drawings

Prepare complete construction drawings for replacement and/or installation of the proposed water, stormwater, and associated infrastructure identified in the applicable

Project Information Sheet. Design shall conform to current applicable PCMC design standards and specifications and other applicable City requirements. Drawings shall include, as applicable:

• Cover sheet, general notes, legends, symbols, and sheet index;

• Existing conditions and survey control;

• Overall project/key plan;

• Waterline plan and profile drawings, where applicable;

• Stormwater plan and profile drawings, drainage structures, connections, and other stormwater improvements, where applicable;

• Connections to existing water infrastructure;

• Isolation valves, fire hydrants, water services, meter vaults, and other appurtenances;

• Utility crossings and conflict resolution;

• Surface restoration;

• Traffic control or construction phasing considerations, where appropriate;

• Fiber-optic conduit, pull boxes, and related infrastructure where identified in the applicable Project Information Sheet;

• PCMC standard details; and

• Project-specific supplemental details necessary for construction.

Design documents shall be submitted to PCMC at approximately 60%, 90%, and Final

(100%) design milestones for review and comment.

7. Project Phasing

Where identified in the applicable Project Information Sheet, the Design Professional shall develop the project as multiple construction phases. Anticipated phase limits will be identified by PCMC in the Project Information Sheet and shall be confirmed and refined during design in coordination with PCMC.

Each phase shall constitute a logical and independently constructible portion of the overall project. The design and bid documents shall be organized to provide PCMC flexibility to bid and award construction by phase, including the ability to award an individual phase, multiple phases, or the entire project, as determined by PCMC based on available funding, bid results, project priorities, or other considerations.

The Design Professional shall coordinate the phases to ensure that improvements constructed under an earlier phase do not conflict with or unnecessarily duplicate subsequent phases. Design shall consider appropriate phase limits, water system connections, temporary or permanent terminations, system operation, restoration, and

RSOQ Template 6-26 6 other requirements necessary to allow each phase to function independently until subsequent phases are constructed.

Unless otherwise identified in the applicable Project Information Sheet, all phases of an assigned project shall be designed concurrently and completed by the Final Design deadline identified in this RSOQ.

8. Technical Specifications and Bid Documents

Prepare project-specific technical specifications necessary for bidding and construction of the project. PCMC will provide its standard front-end procurement and contract documents. The Design Professional shall coordinate its technical specifications and construction drawings with PCMC's front-end documents to produce a complete bid-ready construction package.

Technical specifications shall address the materials, workmanship, installation requirements, testing, restoration, and other technical requirements applicable to the project.

For projects identified for phased construction, the construction documents, bid items, quantities, and cost estimates shall be organized by phase to provide PCMC flexibility to bid and award an individual phase, multiple phases, or the entire project. The specific bidding and award structure will be determined by PCMC in coordination with the

Design Professional during development of the final bid documents.

9. Permitting and Agency Coordination

Identify permits, approvals, and agency coordination anticipated to be required for construction of the project. Unless otherwise identified in the Project Information

Sheet, PCMC will be responsible for permit fees and execution of Owner permit applications. The Design Professional shall prepare or provide design information and supporting documentation reasonably necessary for applicable permits and approvals.

10. Construction Cost Estimates

Prepare an opinion of probable construction cost for each assigned project at the 60%, 90%, and Final design milestones. Estimates shall reflect the current design and be sufficiently detailed to assist PCMC with project budgeting and procurement planning.

For projects identified for phased construction, opinions of probable construction cost shall separately identify the estimated construction cost of each phase as well as the estimated cost of the overall project.

11. Final Design Deliverables

For each assigned project, provide final, bid-ready construction documents incorporating PCMC review comments. Final deliverables shall include, at a minimum:

RSOQ Template 6-26 7

• Final construction drawings in PDF and editable electronic format;

PROJECT-SPECIFIC EVALUATION AND RANKINGS: Respondents will be evaluated separately for each project for which they request consideration. PCMC will establish a separate ranking of qualified Respondents for each of the six projects based on the evaluation criteria identified above.

A Respondent's qualifications, experience, project understanding and approach, proposed personnel, capacity, and schedule may be evaluated differently for each project based on the specific requirements and conditions identified in the applicable Project Information Sheet.

A Respondent may therefore receive different rankings for different projects. PCMC is not obligated to select a Respondent for every project for which the Respondent requests consideration.

PCMC anticipates selecting one or more Design Professionals through this RSOQ. Selection as the highest-ranked Respondent for a project does not guarantee award of a contract. Final project assignments are subject to successful negotiations, Respondent capacity, applicable approvals, and execution of a Design Professional Services Agreement.

PCMC reserves the right to reject any and all SOQs for any reason. SOQs lacking required information will not be considered. The award of a contract may be subject to approval by City

Council.

V. Government Records Access and Management Act.

PCMC will maintain a nonpublic process for the duration of this solicitation in accordance with

Government Records Access and Management Act, Title 63G, Chapter 2 of the Utah Code

(“GRAMA”). Pursuant to Utah Code § 63G-2-305(6), all records related to this procurement, including but not limited to SOQs, evaluations, and selection procedures, and any records created during the evaluation and selection process will remain nonpublic records during the procurement process. After execution of a contract, all submittals will be treated as public records in accordance with the requirements of GRAMA unless otherwise claimed by the

Respondent as exempt from disclosure pursuant to Utah Code § 63G-2-309, as amended. The burden of claiming an exemption shall rest solely with each Respondent. Respondent shall submit any materials for which Respondent claims an exemption from disclosure marked as

RSOQ Template 6-26 11

“Confidential” and accompanied by a statement from Respondent supporting the exemption claim. PCMC shall make reasonable efforts to notify Respondent of any GRAMA requests for documents submitted under an exemption claim. Respondent waives any claims against PCMC related to disclosure of any materials pursuant to GRAMA. Please note the following:

a. Respondent must not stamp all materials confidential. Only those materials for which a claim of confidentiality can be made under GRAMA, such as trade secrets, pricing, non-public financial information, etc., should be stamped.

b. Respondent must submit a letter stating the reasons for the claim of confidentiality for every type of information that is stamped “Confidential.” Generally, GRAMA only protects against the disclosure of trade secrets or commercial information that could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury. Failure to timely submit a written basis for a claim of “Confidential” may result in a waiver of an exemption from disclosure under GRAMA.

c. For convenience, a Business Confidentiality Request Form (“BCR Form”) is attached to this procurement as Attachment 1. Respondent must submit a completed BCR Form at the time of submission of any SOQ.

VI. Ethics.

By submission of an SOQ, Respondent represents and agrees to the following ethical standards:

REPRESENTATION REGARDING ETHICAL STANDARDS: Respondent represents that it has not:

(1) provided an illegal gift or payoff to a city officer or employee or former city officer or employee, or his or her relative or business entity; (2) retained any person to solicit or secure this contract upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, or brokerage or contingent fee, other than bona fide employees of bona fide commercial selling agencies for the purpose of securing business; (3) knowingly breached any of the ethical standards set forth in Title 3, Chapter 1 of the Park City Code; or (4) knowingly influenced, and hereby promises that it will not knowingly influence, a city officer or employee or former city officer or employee to breach any of the ethical standards set forth in Title 3, Chapter 1 of the Park City Code.

Evaluation Criteria.

The selection process will proceed as follows:

a. A selection committee comprised of qualified persons, which may include City staff or representatives from other public and private stakeholders, will review and evaluate all

SOQs.

RSOQ Template 6-26 12

b. The selection committee will evaluate Respondents separately for each project for which they request consideration and establish a project-specific ranking of qualified

Respondents for each project.

c. The selection committee may conduct interviews with the highest-ranked Respondents.

If interviews are conducted, PCMC may conduct interviews for one or more individual projects or for multiple projects concurrently. Interview results may be considered in establishing the final project-specific rankings.

d. Following establishment of the final rankings, PCMC may initiate contract negotiations for each project with the highest-ranked Respondent for that project, subject to the

Respondent's stated capacity and availability.

e. If a Respondent is the highest-ranked firm for more projects than it has identified capacity to accept, PCMC may assign projects based on the Respondent's stated project preferences, project-specific qualifications, available personnel and resources, project schedules, and the best interests of PCMC. PCMC may then initiate negotiations with the next highest-ranked Respondent for any remaining project.

f. If PCMC is unable to reach an agreement with the highest-ranked available Respondent for a particular project, PCMC may terminate negotiations with that Respondent for that project and initiate negotiations with the next highest-ranked available Respondent for that project.

g. PCMC may award individual projects to different Respondents or multiple projects to the same Respondent, subject to the project-specific rankings, demonstrated capacity, successful contract negotiations, and applicable City approvals.

h. All contracts with an aggregate cost over the term that exceeds $100,000 require approval of the City Council.
