Professional Engineering and Related Services

The City of Rowlett, Texas is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ No. 2025-168-A) to establish a multi-year contract for professional engineering and related services for municipal infrastructure projects. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive engineering services including roadway design, water/wastewater design, drainage services, traffic engineering, topographical and property surveys, land acquisitions, subsurface utility exploration, and geotechnical engineering and material testing. The contract will have an initial term of three years with two optional one-year renewal periods. Evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: professional qualifications of individual team members (40%), relative project experience (40%), firm information (10%), and supplemental information (10%). Key submission requirements include a transmittal letter, detailed firm information, team member qualifications, project experience documentation, and comprehensive supplemental information. The pre-submission conference is scheduled for August 26, 2025, at 10:00 am, with questions due by August 27, 2025, at 12:00 pm, and final submissions required by September 4, 2025, at 2:00 pm.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises or minority-owned businesses. Respondents must provide proof of insurance with coverage levels varying based on contract value, and must meet specific insurance provisions such as being listed as an additional insured and providing waivers of subrogation. While specific contract values are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of services suggests a potentially significant multi-year engagement covering various municipal engineering needs. The city will evaluate submissions based on firms' capabilities to provide full-service design and related services across multiple engineering categories, with a strong emphasis on qualifications, experience, and design approach. Firms will be selected to form a qualified vendor pool from which the city can draw for specific project needs over the contract period, indicating a potentially substantial cumulative contract value across multiple potential infrastructure and municipal improvement projects.
