5-Attachment B Areas of Expertise.docx

This attachment form is part of a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing to establish an open-ended pre-qualified vendor list for design professional services in architecture and engineering. The solicitation seeks qualifications from firms interested in providing design professional services across multiple specialty areas including general architectural engineering, civil engineering, commissioning, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture/engineering, mechanical engineering, public/water works, structural engineering, and surveying. Vendors approved through this qualification process will maintain pre-qualified status for 12 months from approval, after which they must resubmit qualifications for renewal. The State retains the right to reopen the solicitation to accept additional vendors at any time, but no less frequently than every 12 months, throughout the term of the open-ended vendor list.

The attachment form requires responding firms to identify their company name and mark each area of expertise for which they are applying. This is a qualification-based process rather than a competitive bidding process, meaning vendors are evaluated on their qualifications, experience, and capabilities within their selected specialty areas. No specific pricing, project values, or funding information is contained within this attachment form, as the pre-qualified list serves as a pool of approved vendors for future design professional service needs as they arise within the State of Utah.
