Description
The City of Hilliard’s Engineering Department is issuing a qualification‑based RFQ (Statement of Qualifications) and a parallel Letter of Interest process to build a five‑year pool of qualified engineering, surveying, planning, and related professional service firms. The solicitation covers a broad set of infrastructure projects—including transportation, bridge and culvert design, traffic engineering, storm‑water, sanitary sewer, water distribution, construction administration, asset management, and related planning services—intended to support the City’s 2026‑2030 Capital Improvement Plan. Firms submit a general SOQ (and optionally project‑specific LOIs) by the stated deadlines; the City will evaluate qualifications, shortlist firms, and award multiple contracts where appropriate.
• Covers a wide range of civil‑engineering and consulting services (transportation, water, storm, sanitary, GIS, asset management, surveying, right‑of‑way, construction administration, etc.).
• Two submission tracks: a 5‑year SOQ pool (deadline July 1 2026) and project‑specific LOIs (deadlines ranging from April 15 2026 to Q2 2027).
• Contracts may be up to five years in length, with a total professional‑service spend estimated at over $120 million across the five‑year horizon.
• No minimum‑price threshold; contracts exceeding roughly $80 k (capital‑budgeted) require City Council approval.
