Title/Name/Summary
Professional Engineering Consulting Services, Request for Qualifications, Pre Qualified Consultants Recommendation
History
In order to implement a more efficient consultant selection process for engineering programs and services, the Village has initiated a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to pre-qualify engineering consultants. This RFQ allows the Village to develop a shortlist of qualified consultants in various engineering disciplines and services. In the future, the Village will invite these consultants to submit projects initiated by the Village. The primary purposes of this RFQ include:
· Obtain best in class, exemplary professional consulting service levels for the Village.
· Maximize operational efficiencies by pre qualifying professional consulting firms.
· Obtain the most competitive fees in the region for professional design and engineering services for the Village.
Please note, that the list of pre-qualified consultants resulting from this RFQ only applies to projects initiated by the Village using 100% local funding. Federally funded projects, projects initiated by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), and other agency projects will still go through the Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process as defined by IDOT. The following are the details of the Village’s RFQ process.
