Request for Qualifications - Professional Engineering Services

The City of Moab is requesting Statements of Qualifications from professional engineering firms licensed in Utah for on-call infrastructure engineering services across transportation, culinary water, wastewater, and stormwater systems, with SOQs due October 28, 2026 and questions due October 9. The City intends to select up to four consultants.

Scope covers master planning, capital facility planning, design, construction documents, construction administration, and community engagement across multiple disciplines: transportation (geometric design, bridges, drainage, environmental documentation); culinary water (system planning, distribution and treatment facility design); wastewater (collection system design, treatment evaluation); stormwater (hydrologic modeling, storm drain design); and miscellaneous services including GIS mapping, specifications, impact fee studies, surveying, permitting, and feasibility reports.

Proposers must be licensed professional engineering firms in Utah. SOQs are limited to 14 pages and must include a cover letter, firm overview, key personnel and team qualifications with resumes, project approach, past performance references (minimum three projects within the last five years), and a fee schedule with standard hourly billing rates by staff category. Professional liability insurance is required upon contract execution.

Evaluation will be scored on project team and qualifications (40 points), experience and references (40 points), and project manager qualifications (20 points). The contract term extends five years from execution. The selection committee will conduct interviews between November 9–13, 2026, with contract negotiation occurring November 23 through December 7, 2026. All SOQ preparation costs are the responsibility of the proposer. Upon execution of a Consulting Services Agreement, submitted SOQs become public information. The City reserves the right to reject any submissions, cancel the solicitation without award, and solicit additional professional services via Request for Proposals during the contract term.
