Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Design, Analysis and Plan Review

The City of Leander, Texas is seeking Statements of Qualifications under RFQ CIPS27-009 to establish a three-year pre-qualified pool for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, design, analysis, and plan review services, with responses due December 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time through the City's Bonfire portal. Pool placement does not guarantee any Task Order. Pre-qualified respondents may be contacted for individual RFPs as projects arise, or selected without an RFP based on submitted qualifications.

Respondents must have municipal experience and provide proof of licensure. Each team must include at least one registered professional engineer or architect as Project Manager with a minimum of five years in the specified services. Responses are capped at 35 pages and must include references, professional registrations, staffing information, and project history within the Central Texas Area from the past five years. Submittals require a completed CIQ Form and Professional Services Agreement Certification Form. Respondents may be required to make oral presentations to the selection committee.

Evaluation is weighted to 100 points: Relevant Qualifications and Experience (30), Proposed Staff (20), Available Resources and Location (20), Methodology and Approach (20), and Added Value (10).

Task Orders carry fixed fees for Basic Services and hourly rates for Additional Services, as set out in each Task Order and Exhibit C. Required coverage is $1 million per occurrence each for Professional Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability, plus Texas-required workers' compensation. Payment is due within thirty days of service completion under the Texas Prompt Payment Law. The agreement is governed by Texas law with exclusive venue in Williamson County courts. Respondents must certify statutory verifications regarding boycotts of Israel, energy companies, and firearm entities, and disclose conflicts under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176.

The anticipated agreement award is April 2027, with the Professional Services Agreement commencing upon City Council approval. The City reserves the right to reject any or all responses, split awards, or issue additional requests for qualifications.
