A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published for these services in July 2023. The Department received Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for professional services from 9 firms to provide on-call engineering services. Each firm was evaluated based upon pre-established selection criteria, including experience, response, and performance qualification. An inter- departmental committee selected the most qualified firms and recommended the following for contract approval: Dunaway Associates, LLC., Freese and Nichols, Inc., and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The on-call engineering services will be funded through various project funding sources, including the City Bond Program. These on-call contracts will serve current and future capital projects as needed when solutions need to be achieved quickly. Transportation and Public Works Contract Compliance Managers will verify funds availability prior to each assignment. The term of each contract is pegged to the expenditure of the funds, and each contract may have one renewal.
