The City of Englewood, Colorado is soliciting qualified engineering firms for an on-call engineering services contract through Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #25-045. The procurement seeks comprehensive professional services across multiple technical disciplines, including distribution pipeline design, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, sewer collection piping, pump stations, hydraulics, electrical instrumentation, water treatment, regulatory support, environmental planning, and construction management. Proposals are due on November 4, 2025, with an anticipated award in January 2026, and a pre-proposal meeting scheduled for October 16, 2025. The selection process will utilize a competitive best-value approach, with proposals evaluated and scored across three key areas: firm experience and schedule adherence (40 points), qualifications and project experience of key personnel (40 points), and local staff capability to complete assignments (20 points). Firms can propose work in one or multiple disciplines but must demonstrate technical competency, with the City intending to distribute discipline-specific assignments among selected firms and maintaining no maximum limit on task orders per firm. The contract opportunity emphasizes participation from diverse businesses, with a focus on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) engagement, requiring contractors to demonstrate six good-faith efforts for DBE participation. The procurement is funded through the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program, which mandates strict compliance requirements including American Iron and Steel (AIS) provisions, domestic manufacturing standards, and Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and prepared to submit weekly certified payroll records through LCPTracker. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract will be initially established for a one-year base period with options to extend for four additional one-year periods. Firms must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, professional liability, and employee dishonesty coverage. The City retains the right to acquire similar services from multiple suppliers and is not obligated to exclusively use selected consultants.
