REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
BACKGROUND AND INTENT
The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued by the City of Pasadena, (hereinafter referred to as the City). The City is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified firms interested in being considered for a Pre-Qualified Professional Services List which will include prequalified Architects, Engineers, Consultants and other Special Services.
In accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code 2254 (Professional Services Procurement Act), the City is requesting SOQs to contract with Professional Engineering Consultant(s), Architectural Consultant(s) and other Professional Services (“Consultant”), which must be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity registered to do business in the State of Texas with considerable experience in providing Professional Services for Texas Local Governments.
Objective
The City is issuing this REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) to solicit interest from qualified entities licensed to practice in the areas of architecture, and engineering in the State of Texas, and affiliated trades, to provide professional services for various municipal projects that may arise over the next three (3) years.
The intent is to use the RFQ to allow the City to have list of pre-qualified firms that would assist the City in the design and construction of various major and minor capital improvement, operational projects, and to meet engineering, surveying, architectural and other professional services related needs that may occur from time to time. Any entity may submit a response to this RFQ provided it is qualified to perform Professional Services.
The City will select entities who demonstrate, through their response to the RFQ, an ability to provide the required professional services. City staff will review the submittals and make a recommendation to City Council for their approval of a pre-qualified list of professional service firms. As the need for professional services arises, the City will refer to its “pre-qualified list”, and reach out to one or more firms to negotiate with for specific upcoming municipal projects. However, the City reserves the right, at its discretion, to contract with a firm not included on the final “pre-qualification” list if circumstances warrant.
Be advised, the creation of a final “pre-qualification” list shall not be deemed as creating any type of contractual expectancy for the award of any contracts on the part of the City. This list is being assembled for the purpose of ensuring that the City can quickly negotiate contracts with competent and qualified entities in an efficient manner when upcoming municipal projects are deemed necessary to proceed.
During the evaluation process, the evaluation committee and the City reserve the right, where it may serve the City’s best interest, to request additional information or clarifications from submitting entities, or to allow corrections of errors or omissions in a submittal. At the City’s discretion, submitting entities may be requested to make oral presentations as part of the evaluation process.
The City is issuing this RFQ in accordance with applicable laws that allow an agreement to be negotiated with a private entity that displays demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform professional services for the City.
The City reserves the right to terminate this process and to cancel or modify this solicitation process at any time. In no event will the City or any of its respective agents, representatives, consultants, directors, officers, or employees be liable for, or otherwise be obligated to reimburse, the costs incurred in preparation of a response to this RFQ, or any other related costs. The prospective entities are fully responsible for all costs incurred in the preparation and/or presentation of the RFQ submittals. The RFQ submittals will become the property of the City.
