INTRODUCTION
On Thursday, July 1, 2004, the City of North Las Vegas, (City), Public Works Department, Engineering Services Division (Division) will discard all Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) and Technical Proposals currently on file. The City is now requesting updated SOQs from qualified consultants to provide various Architectural, Engineering, and Other Professional Services, for the term July 2004 to June 2006, to facilitate the implementation of the City’s Capital Improvement Program and other municipal programs.
When Capital Improvement Projects and municipal programs become funded during this term, these SOQs may be evaluated by committee to short-list and select best qualified consultants to provide services to the City, depending on the size and/or technical complexity of the Project, funding availability, and the type of services required.
This packet contains all forms necessary for firms to respond to the City’s Request for Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for Professional Architectural, Engineering, and Other Professional Services for the term July 2004 to June 2006. Firms are advised to carefully review all contents of this packet. Only submittals properly completed as instructed in this packet will be accepted for evaluation.
The original SOQ submittal deadline, for the term July 2004 to June 2006, was June 7, 2004 at 5:00 p.m. Firms that missed the deadline, are new to the area, or previously-submitted firms that undergo significant corporate changes (such as a merger) may also submit a post-deadline SOQ. Firms that qualify and are interested in providing one or more of these services must complete a separate SOQ Submittal for each Service Area using the information and forms contained in this packet but only for the Service Areas listed. Requirements for Service Areas not listed will be addressed by separate Requests for SOQs if and when needed. Submittals received for a Service Area in which submittals were received prior to June 7, 2004 and were already ranked, will be placed at the end of the list. Submittals received for unranked Service Areas will be considered with the pre-June 7, 2004 submittals, if and when those Service Areas are ranked.
Electronic copies of the forms may be obtained online at: www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com / Departments / Public Works / Engineering Services / SOQ Information, Consultant Selection Criteria, and Rankings / Current Requests For Proposals, or may be picked up in person at the Engineering Services Counter.
Submittals shall be delivered to and submittal packets are available at, the following address between the hours or 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday:
