The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works seeks to select at least three (3) consulting firms for each specific activity listed in this RFQ. Full service engineering firms will be ranked and selected based on total points received in the first five (5) activities listed under the General Civil Part A category. Those firms that wish to be considered to provide full engineering services to the City must indicate so in their Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). Teaming to meet the minimum requirements for selection as a full service firm is discouraged. Being selected as a full service firm does not preclude the firm from being selected for any other of the listed activities in this RFQ. As consulting firms will be working on an as-needed basis, there is not a specific scope of work in this RFQ document. Instead each firm should state their qualifications in each activity for which they are interested in providing services. Once a City department or agency identifies need for service(s), that department or agency will define the scope of services. Firms will be contacted from the full-service list or from the select list of qualified firms for that specific service. The selected consultant(s) will prepare a task-specific work plan and cost estimate to the requesting City department or agency for review and negotiations. Multiple firms on the master contract list may be solicited for proposals. Upon successful negotiation of the scope and fee, the City of Milwaukee will enter into a work order with the selected consultant under an “actual cost-plus fixed fee not to exceed” or “lump sum” basis of payment. 1.
