Design Phase Professional Services Prequalification

The City of Lubbock, Texas is seeking statements of qualifications for a Design Phase Professional Services Prequalification. The City is looking to prequalify professional firms that can provide specialized design services for water distribution systems up to 16" in diameter and wastewater collection systems up to 18" in diameter. The selected firms will be eligible for future project-specific scope and fee negotiations as needs arise, though there is no guarantee of a minimum amount of work or compensation. Responses to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are due by June 26, 2024 at 3:00 pm through the City's online portal. The evaluation criteria includes Team Organization and Qualifications (35 points), Experience on Relevant Projects (35 points), Management Approach (25 points), and Overall Responsiveness to the RFQ (5 points). The City may select up to five qualified firms through a two-step evaluation process consisting of a qualifications submittal and possible interviews.

The RFQ does not include any pricing terms or set-asides. The City reserves the right to cancel the RFQ, reject any or all submittals, and will make the selection based on the most highly qualified respondent as determined by the City. The contract will be subject to City Council approval and is funded through the City's budget on a per-project basis. No individual City department has the authority to legally or financially commit the City without proper authorization. Respondents are encouraged to demonstrate knowledge of and utilize local resources.
