PLANNING CONSULTANT SERVICES

The City of Mountain View is issuing an RFQ to create a pre‑qualified roster of planning consultants who can provide on‑call, professional‑services support for a variety of planning, entitlement, long‑range, and special‑study activities. Firms submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating relevant experience, staffing, and capability to deliver the services listed; the City will evaluate and publish a roster that may be used for future project‑specific contracts. The solicitation includes detailed submission requirements, mandatory acceptance of the City’s standard professional‑services contract, and insurance/bonding standards. • Service categories include project management/entitlements, long‑range planning, special studies, public engagement, documentation, research, and on‑call staffing. • Evaluation focuses on understanding of City needs, past performance, staff qualifications, capacity for rapid turnaround, and compliance with mandatory forms (especially Attachment D checklist). • No fixed contract value is disclosed; selected firms will later be asked to provide hourly‑rate schedules when a specific RFP is issued. • All submissions must be uploaded electronically via PlanetBids by the September 11, 2026 deadline; questions were due by August 17, 2026.
