The City of Pontiac is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQual) to identify and prequalify experienced Design-Build teams for the Neighborhood Mini Parks (Request for Qualifications) Project. This project involves the design and phased construction of enhancements across eight parks, with a focus on delivering high-quality, cost-effective, and community-driven improvements within the allocated budget of $3.54 million.
The City is utilizing a Two-Step Selection Process to ensure the most qualified Design-Build team is selected:

1. 1. RFQual Phase (Current Step) – Proposers submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ), demonstrating their experience, financial capacity, and technical approach. The City will evaluate responses and shortlist the most qualified firms.
   2. RFP Phase (For Shortlisted Proposers) – Shortlisted firms will receive a Request for Proposals (RFP) and be required to submit a detailed Technical Proposal and Price Proposal. The final selection will be based on technical merit, cost, and best overall value to the City as defined in the subsequent solicitation.
