Vendor Submission Forms Summary

This is a Vendor Submission Forms document for two state and local contract opportunities: a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #2026-001) issued by Mt. San Antonio Community College District for professional consulting services, and a Fire Equipment and Installation bid solicitation issued by the City of Newark, New Jersey. The Mt. SAC RFQ seeks multi-disciplinary professional consulting services across 12 disciplines including civil engineering, surveying, environmental documentation, landscape design, mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering, structural engineering, accessibility design, commissioning, materials testing, geotechnical services, inspection services, and waterproofing services. Proposals for Mt. SAC must be submitted electronically via OpenGov by October 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for September 17, 2025. The consulting services contract will run from November 2025 through October 2030, with the option for up to four additional one-year extensions. The City of Newark's Fire Equipment and Installation bid (RFQ #2026-001) has an electronic bid submission deadline of 10:15 am on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with public bid opening and reading following immediately thereafter.

Proposals will be evaluated on a points-based system across seven criteria: company information (10 points), business experience and licensing (25 points), references (10 points), firm staffing and key personnel (10 points), pricing and deliverables (20 points), ability to maintain project budgets (15 points), and experience with Project Labor Agreements/Community Workforce Agreements (10 points). Consulting services are typically for projects under $220,000, with anticipated project values ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. Mt. SAC will establish an on-call consulting roster and reserves the right to apportion work among multiple qualified consultants, with no guaranteed minimum work volume.
