Summary

A Selection Committee made up of City Staff reviewed and scored the SOQs based on the RFQ scoring criteria. Based on the evaluation criteria in the RFQ, the SOQ is worth up to 100 points, and the interview is worth up to 20 points. These two scores added together, and the team with the highest total of these two scores would result in the recommended selected firm. The Selection Committee determined the results of the SOQ scoring required interviews to further evaluate the team's experience.
The top two (2) firms were interviewed by the Selection Committee on January 14th in a virtual format for review and evaluation of the teams. Once the interviews were completed, all scores were tabulated and the resulting highest SOQ plus interview total was selected for recommendation. The objective of this request was to identify and engage the most qualified consulting firm to assist the City in providing Program Management & Planning services for Transportation Bond Program projects.
Staff recommends selecting Freese & Nichols, Inc for professional engineering services associated with the approved 2020 General Obligation Bond Transportation Projects.
