Engineering On-Call Services 2025-2027

The City of Waterbury, located in New Haven County, Connecticut, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #8132) to engage qualified engineering and consulting firms for on-call engineering services during the 2025-2027 contract period. The procurement seeks firms capable of providing various types of on-call engineering, consulting, and construction administration/inspection services as needed by the city. The selection will follow a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process, with firms evaluated on four primary criteria: design and technical competence, capacity and capability to perform work, past performance record, and knowledge of Federal, State, and Municipal procedures. The solicitation opens on October 8, 2024, at 2:30 PM EDT and closes on November 1, 2024, at 11:00 AM EDT, with interested firms required to submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating their technical expertise and organizational capabilities. All responses will be assessed by the city's evaluation team, with the goal of identifying multiple firms that can provide flexible, high-quality engineering support across various municipal project needs.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The RFQ is open to all vendors and does not appear to have predefined limitations on firm size, location, or ownership characteristics. No incumbent vendors were identified, and no specific existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements were outlined. While the documents do not specify an estimated total contract value, the Net 60 Days payment terms and on-call service model suggest a potentially significant but flexible engagement. The contract appears designed to establish a pool of qualified engineering firms that can be called upon for various municipal engineering projects throughout the 2025-2027 period, with firms selected based on their demonstrated qualifications rather than upfront pricing. Any interested engineering and consulting firms are encouraged to submit their qualifications, with the primary contact for questions being Maureen McCauley at the City of Waterbury Purchasing Department.
