4-D. SOQ Execution Form.pdf

This is a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) Execution Form for RFQ #269.2026.148 issued by a North Carolina municipality for Mechanical Engineering Design Services. The city seeks as-needed mechanical engineering design services for maintenance and minor renovation projects across a portfolio of 200+ municipal facilities, including office buildings, warehouses, storage facilities, parking structures, vehicle maintenance shops, communication towers, and public safety buildings. Typical mechanical engineering design requests encompass HVAC system design and installation, including air- or water-cooled chillers, split and unitary systems, rooftop units, heat pumps, and geothermal systems. Plumbing expertise for hot water and chilled water distribution is essential, and smaller renovation projects such as sink and water fountain additions may be requested. The consultant may also be required to conduct investigation and scoping studies related to mechanical systems, perform energy studies, run load calculations on facilities, and provide emergency services on short notice with tight time schedules. Energy-efficient design solutions are emphasized in accordance with the City Sustainable Facilities Policy.

The SOQ execution form requires the responding consultant to certify that no collusion or restraint of competition has occurred, that the consultant has not been convicted under North Carolina General Statute 133-24 within the past three years, and that the work will be performed using the consultant's own bona fide employees or approved subcontractors. Consultants must also certify they are not debarred or suspended from federal or state contracts and attest that no prohibited gifts have been offered or accepted in violation of NC General Statute 133-32 and City Policy. The form requires identification of the consultant's business structure (sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company), along with company legal name, address, phone, email, and authorized signature. All information submitted must be accurate, complete, and not misleading regarding material facts.
