Professional Engineering Services Related to the Design of Roadway Improvement-C

The City of Shreveport, Louisiana is seeking professional engineering consultants for a comprehensive roadway improvement project through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFS 25-714). The solicitation focuses on professional engineering services for multiple infrastructure projects within the City's Capital Improvement Program, specifically involving roadway, drainage, bridge, and civil improvements. The project (C21001) requires extensive civil engineering expertise, encompassing pre-design activities, condition assessments, topographical and boundary surveys, utility coordination, geotechnical studies, traffic studies, permitting, property acquisition, preliminary and final design, bidding phase services, and construction phase services. Responses are due by 3:00 p.m. on September 16, 2025, with consultants required to submit one original and twelve copies of their qualifications package. The City will employ a comprehensive evaluation process assessing capability to perform the project, fair share participation, qualifications of professionals, current workload, and past performance. Key selection criteria emphasize significant recent experience in roadway design and construction administration.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the evaluation criteria suggest an openness to diverse participation through the "fair share participation" metric. The total design budget for this project is $200,000, with the potential for multiple consultants to be selected and individual contract amounts to be determined by the City. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, comprehensive auto liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and professional liability insurance with coverage amounts scaled to the project's estimated total cost. Consultants must demonstrate robust qualifications in civil engineering, particularly in roadway infrastructure projects. The City has structured the procurement to ensure comprehensive project management and high-quality engineering services, with flexibility to engage multiple qualified firms to meet the diverse needs of the Capital Improvement Program.
