SCORE_SHEET.pdf

This is a score sheet for evaluating qualifications and proposals submitted by architectural and engineering firms in response to the City of Meriden, Connecticut's Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P026-30) for design services related to a Public Works Facility addition at 55 Michael Drive. The evaluation utilizes a 100-point scoring system assessing firms across five key criteria: qualifications of the firm and cost proposal (30 points), demonstrated ability to meet project deadlines and proposed work schedule (10 points), demonstrated ability of key personnel and construction management experience (30 points), similar projects completed within the past five years (20 points), and references from past clients demonstrating financial responsibility and stability (10 points). The procurement includes a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on October 9, 2025, at 10:00 am, with proposals due by October 23, 2025, at 11:30 am. Evaluation of submissions will occur on October 30, 2025, with interviews potentially scheduled for November 3, 2025, and an anticipated contract award date of November 6, 2025. The selected firm will provide comprehensive professional services across five distinct phases: schematic design, design development, 100% construction and bid documents, bid assistance, and construction administration.

Separate sealed cost proposals must be submitted for each of the five project phases, and firms must demonstrate financial stability and status as part of the evaluation process. Proposing firms are required to hold a State of Connecticut professional license and certification, possess proof of substantial insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Business Automobile Liability, statutory Workers' Compensation, and $2,000,000 in Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions Coverage. No specific project budget is disclosed, though the comprehensive insurance and bonding requirements suggest a significant undertaking. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage regulations and submit certified payroll documentation throughout the contract term.
