About this opportunity

The City of Tucson is seeking a qualified architectural and engineering consulting firm to perform planning and design services for sidewalk infrastructure through a qualifications-based selection process. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF), requires comprehensive design work for sidewalks, curb ramps, and ADA-accessible driveway crossings at three specific locations: Benson Highway, Ajo Way, and Country Club Road. Proposals will be evaluated using a five-part scoring system with points allocated as follows: team experience and qualifications (25 points), available resources (20 points), firm experience on similar projects (20 points), project approach (20 points), and overall firm qualifications (15 points). The Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 230110) has a submission deadline of May 18, 2023 at 2:00 pm local Arizona time, with a pre-submittal virtual conference scheduled for May 9, 2023. The contract term is one year, with a requirement that all sidewalk designs be delivered and approved by May 31, 2024, in strict compliance with the Tucson Street Design Guide.

The procurement includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program provisions aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for DBE firms in contract awards. Contractors must demonstrate good faith efforts to include DBE firms, maintain detailed documentation, and follow comprehensive compliance requirements for federal-assisted contracts. The project has an estimated annual budget of $750,000, with individual projects not exceeding $750,000. Potential contractors must adhere to extensive federal compliance requirements, including provisions for using EPA-designated recovered materials, prioritizing domestic product procurement, and avoiding telecommunications equipment from specific foreign manufacturers. Failure to comply with DBE program provisions can result in penalties such as withholding payments, imposing sanctions, or disqualifying the contractor from future bidding. The contract is subject to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) terms and conditions, which mandate specific federal regulatory compliance in areas including equal opportunity, minority and women business enterprise participation, and clean air and water pollution control standards.
