As-Needed On-Call Utility Engineering Services

The Town of Mooresville (the Town) is requesting a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from professional consulting firms to provide On-Call Utility Engineering Services on an as-needed basis for current and upcoming Town projects. Projects vary in complexity and scope (see Section III, Scope of Services). The Town is seeking to pre-qualify firms whose combination of experience and personnel will provide timely, cost-effective, and high-quality professional engineering services. Pre-qualified firms will then be eligible to enter into project-specific agreements for services to be provided on an as-needed basis as determined by the Town. The Town may select up to five (5) qualified firms to provide on-call utility engineering services. Any contract that is awarded shall be for an initial period of up to five (5) years commencing with a Notice of Award. Utilization of any selected firm is at the discretion of the Town, and individual project assignments will be determined and provided by way of task order at the sole discretion of the Town on an as-needed basis. The initial amount of each task order shall not exceed a total of $200,000. In the event that completion of a specific work task will exceed $200,000, the total amount of the contract may be increased by mutual written agreement of the parties. Work under a contract shall be assigned on an as-needed basis to be determined by the Town in its sole and absolute discretion. Selected firms will submit pricing proposals for specific projects when contacted. SOQs will be reviewed by an evaluation team and ranked based on criteria identified herein. Firms may be selected for interviews at the discretion of the Town. A short list of firms may be made based on a review of qualifications. The Town reserves the right to drop selected firms from the program for any reason including but not limited to work performance below the Town’s expectations, routine refusal to provide services, or loss of significant internal expertise relative to that shown on the initial SOQ. The solicitation and selection of these services shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable State guidelines and requirements and the Town’s terms and standards.
