About this file
This document is a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) request email from the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) to Stantec, a professional engineering services firm, regarding Solicitation BPM003384 for Hydrological Engineering Services. The communication involves Elizabeth Burgard from AZGFD and Scot Schlund from Stantec, with potential subcontractors including ACS, Ninyo and Moore, App Weather Associates, and LTM.
The solicitation seeks hydrological engineering services focused on dam safety, dam assessments, dam and outlet/spillway rehabilitation, hydrology and hydraulics, inundation studies, and flood warning. AZGFD requested Stantec revise its fee schedule, noting that some rates were 15-78% higher than average, with landscape designer fees over 106% higher. The department emphasized that Stantec's high rates could jeopardize contract award. Stantec was instructed to submit a signed fee schedule with revised rates by September 23, 2021, at 4:30 p.m., with the understanding that their previously submitted qualifications package would be included as part of the Best and Final Offer.

Dear Mr. Eichinger;
In accordance with §A.R.S 41-2534, Competitive Sealed Proposals, and A.A.C R2-7-C315, Offer Revisions and Best and Final Offers the AGFD hereby requests a final proposal revision from your organization regarding BPM00003384 Request For Qualifications - Hydrological Engineering Services .
To clarify - any subcontractors hired that are not listed on the fee schedule (ACS, Ninyo and Moore, App Weather Associates, and LTM), are not subject to any markup, as your firm is offering 0% markup on subcontractors. If your firm intends to charge a markup for subcontractors not specifically listed, you may want to reconsider your fee.
The items on the fee schedule highlighted in yellow are still considered to be higher than the average for these services by 15-78 percent. The landscape designer fees are over 106 percent higher. The rates for LTM are 60-95 percent higher Please seriously consider lowering these fees as your firm is at risk of not being awarded a contract based on these higher fees.
The Department requests a Final Proposal Revision/ Best and Final Offer (BAFO) to include:
· A Statement that the information your organization submitted in APP is included as part of your BAFO
· Attached a signed Fee schedule.
Please include the attached Fee schedule updated with your best offer and signed to your BAFO email response. The proposal submitted in APP does not need to be reattached to the BAFO email response, it just needs to be mentioned as "included" in your BAFO.
If you do not submit a written notice (email) of with-drawl or a written BAFO, the award cannot be completed. If you have any questions please contact me by email or by phone at (623) 236-7459. It is acceptable to respond by email.
