2026 Professional Engineering Services

The Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy, known as Metro Water, is soliciting Statements of Qualifications for on-call design professional services for the 2026-27 period. This solicitation, identified as EngServ26, seeks qualified consultants to provide architecture, engineering, and surveying services for various project packages anticipated between April 2026 and March 2028. The selection process is based on a review of qualifications by a committee, with evaluation weighted toward firm qualifications and experience at 40 percent, relevance of past projects at 40 percent, and firm culture, creativity, and values at 20 percent. Notably, cost is not a selection criterion for the initial qualification phase. Qualified firms must submit their SOQs in PDF format via email, including firm details, core values, credentials, and at least three client references from recent projects. Submissions must also include a statement of compliance with Metro Water's standard agreement and insurance requirements, which include a combined single limit of 2 million dollars per occurrence for general liability and 2 million dollars per occurrence for automobile liability. Selected consultants will operate as independent contractors under a Professional Services Agreement with specific work assigned through subsequent task orders on a time and materials basis. Payments are remitted within 30 days of receipt of detailed monthly invoices.
