Adequate management of construction projects by City departments requires construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services during construction.  CEI services are one of the most important elements of quality construction and contract administration. 

The ability to have a rotating list of CEI firms available to provide these services for various City departments enables the effective and efficient management of the construction phase of capital projects.

The current agreement for these services expires on November 13, 2022.

In order to consider a replacement agreement, this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeks to select firms that are qualified to provide CEI services required for contract administration, inspection, and materials sampling and testing for construction projects. Each firm awarded a contract pursuant to this RFQ will be placed on a professional CEI list where the City may call upon it to perform professional projects, as assigned by the City Administration. As the need for services arises, firms will be contacted to provide the necessary services according to a negotiated scope of work and cost. 

 The scope of work and requirements of the RFQ are more fully defined in the RFQ attached as Attachment A.

Following the receipt of proposals, an Evaluation Committee will review proposals in accordance with the criteria established in the RFP.

It is not anticipated that grant funding will be utilized for this project.
