3-Appendix X - DSL Design RFQu updates from previous solicitation for rebid.docx

This is an Appendix document detailing updates to a Request for Qualifications (RFQu) issued by the State of Utah for the Davis-SLC Community Connector Final Design and Construction Services project. The document outlines changes made to the solicitation for a rebid of design services for bus stop and end-of-line facilities with associated improvements. Key modifications to the scope of work include removal of geotechnical services and queue jump design from the project activities, clarification of the number of stations requiring design, expanded requirements for branding plan development, and addition of mechanical and plumbing (M&P) estimates and specifications for multiple facility components. The design scope now explicitly defines right-of-way processes with electronic Project Management (ePM) submittals, clarifies Transportation System Plan (TSP) needs, and includes grant assistance and meeting attendance requirements. Construction advertising is anticipated in Spring 2027.

The personnel requirements have been reduced to streamline the qualifications process. The Project Manager experience threshold was lowered from previous requirements to five years of design experience and three years of management experience, while the Lead Designer requirement was reduced to five years of relevant experience. The Lead Estimator position was removed from key personnel designations. Schedule submission requirements were modified from bar-scaled schedules to milestone-based schedules. The team experience evaluation now permits consideration of similar work completed more than five years prior, allowing for greater flexibility in demonstrating relevant project history and qualifications.
