The City of Phoenix Water Services Department is seeking to establish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for Data Analytics Services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQu 2021-WAD-472-06) released on September 18, 2025, with proposals due on October 9, 2025. The procurement targets consulting services for data analysis, work process optimization, and innovation implementation, with a contract period from October 15, 2025, through February 28, 2027. Vendors must provide comprehensive data analytics capabilities, including data mining, predictive analysis, software solution design, data integration, and cloud migration analysis. Qualified firms are required to have a minimum of three years of operational experience, with a preference for employees holding bachelor's degrees in Data Sciences, Computer Sciences, Project Management, Engineering, Economics, or Business. The evaluation will focus on pre-award qualifications, company history, experience, and the ability to perform various project types such as operational, procurement, facility, utility billing, financial, water meter, and engineering analytics. A pre-offer conference is scheduled for September 24, 2025, and technical support for the procurement portal is available through OpenGov e-Procurement Portal. The solicitation includes specific provisions for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business participation, requiring contractors to submit monthly documentation of DBE and small business involvement through the City's Certification and Compliance System. Contractors must demonstrate good faith efforts to promote and foster participation of Small Businesses and DBE firms on Federal Transit Administration (FTA) assisted projects, including sending encouraging letters to potential DBE firms and maintaining contact logs. The City requires contractors to identify and engage DBE-certified firms, with provisions for tracking and reporting DBE participation, including an annual Small Business Participation Plan submission. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the City anticipates considerable activity under the contract and will award task orders on a as-needed basis to selected vendors from the Qualified Vendor List. The procurement includes comprehensive compliance requirements, such as non-discrimination provisions, civil rights compliance, and specific workplace safety requirements, including a mandatory heat safety plan for outdoor workers.
