The City of Bloomington, Illinois is seeking statements of qualifications through RFQ #2025-32 for multi-year architectural, engineering, and professional services across 13 distinct service categories, including architectural, structural engineering, water supply, utility infrastructure, transportation, land survey, asset management, environmental engineering, environmental evaluation, arc flash, geotechnical services, landscape design, and solar planning. Firms can apply for small projects (under $50,000) or large projects ($50,000 or greater) in one or multiple categories, with submissions required through the City's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal by Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 10:00 am CST. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, qualifications and experience of the firm and proposed team, project quality, budget and timeline performance, and project approach. Participating firms must be licensed to practice in Illinois, registered to do business in the state, and capable of using relevant design software. The anticipated contract award date is Monday, April 28, 2025, with a proposed three-year contract term and two optional one-year renewals. Selected firms must perform at least 51% of the work themselves and may include subconsultant team members. The City of Bloomington is committed to workforce diversity and requires firms to complete a detailed Workforce Analysis Form that reports employee demographics across eight job categories and multiple racial/ethnic groups. Firms must demonstrate compliance with equal opportunity and non-discrimination policies, with strict insurance requirements including $2,000,000 in general liability, $500,000 in workers' compensation, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, $3,000,000 in umbrella liability, and $2,000,000 in errors & omissions coverage. The solicitation does not guarantee any specific volume of work, and the City reserves the right to issue additional RFQs for individual projects. Based on the prior list of pre-qualified firms from the 2022-2025 period, approximately 27 engineering and architectural firms may be interested, including Farnsworth Group, Stanley Consultants, and Donohue. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the RFQ suggests the potential for multiple projects across various service categories, indicating a potentially significant total contract value over the three-year period.
