Description
The Yellowstone County Public Works Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a pre‑qualified pool of engineering firms for FY 2026‑2027. The RFQ seeks firms capable of delivering a wide range of professional engineering services—including road, bridge, stormwater, traffic engineering, and project scheduling—through grant procurement, design, permitting, construction administration, and post‑construction inspections. Respondents must submit a concise Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) limited to eight base pages plus up to six supplemental pages per expertise area, along with an unrestricted resume appendix. Submissions are due February 2 2026 (hard copy and electronic PDF) and will be opened the following day. The evaluation will weight qualifications, experience, schedule/budget capability, past performance, responsiveness, and regulatory familiarity, with an additional local‑preference point system (up to three points). Successful firms will be placed on a pre‑qualified list (up to five firms per category) for future project awards, which may be made directly or via separate RFPs. No monetary award values are disclosed; firms must provide hourly rate sheets and demonstrate budget adherence on past projects.
• Scope covers full‑service professional engineering for roads, bridges, stormwater, traffic, and scheduling.
• Submission deadline: Feb 2 2026 3 pm; opening: Feb 3 2026 9 am.
• Evaluation criteria total 100 % plus up to 3 local‑preference points; pre‑qualified list up to five firms per category.
