The RFP requires qualified engineering firms or individuals experienced in water/wastewater infrastructure design to demonstrate firm experience and qualifications (25% weight), project team experience and qualifications (25% weight), functional approach (20% weight), technical approach (17% weight), and cost competitiveness (10% weight).

Respondents must submit proposals in a prescribed format not exceeding 15 single-sided pages organized into five tabs (letter of transmittal, executive summary, detailed discussion, cost proposal, and bid form with certificate of insurance) and must already be prequalified as vendors with Eagle Mountain City.

While the RFP documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or specific organization types, all responding firms must provide proof of insurance at proposal submission and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage upon contract award, including general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, commercial automobile insurance with $1,000,000 combined single limit, architect and engineer professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 aggregate, valuable papers and records coverage, and workers' compensation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and may require oral presentations from the top three scoring firms before final award determination. Specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available RFP materials; however, cost will represent only 10% of the total evaluation score, indicating that technical qualifications and approach are prioritized over price.
