On-Call Engineering Servics

Douglas County Government is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) through Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #003-26 for On-Call Engineering Services to be utilized by the Department of Parks, Trails, Building Ground, & Rueter-Hess. The procurement aims to establish a list of highly-qualified vendors to provide supplemental engineering support for various capital improvement projects throughout the 2026 calendar year. Vendors must submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating their company background, key personnel, cost control approaches, safety records, references, and potential conflicts of interest. The initial contract will be a Blanket Purchase Agreement spanning twelve months from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with potential for two additional one-year renewals. Responses are due by November 26, 2025, at 3 PM and must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing/BidNet System. Respondents are required to provide detailed pricing information, including hourly rates for employees, supervisors, and project managers, as well as potential costs for travel, materials, subcontractors, mobilization, and profit margins.

The RFQ does not specifically mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a non-obligatory agreement, meaning Douglas County is not required to utilize a minimum or maximum dollar amount of services from selected vendors. The County reserves the right to reject any or all responses and to negotiate optional items and services. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the Blanket Purchase Agreement suggests flexibility in project scope and potential spending. The contract's continuation is contingent upon annual funding appropriation and the County's satisfaction with services rendered during the preceding contract period. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive engineering capabilities across various project types within parks, trails, building grounds, and Rueter-Hess facilities. The procurement approach indicates the County seeks to establish a pool of qualified engineering service providers who can be engaged on an as-needed basis throughout the 2026 calendar year.
