BD27-106 Design Professional Services (Architecture & Engineering) Pre-Qualified Vendor List

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is establishing an open-ended pre-qualified vendor list for Design Professional Services, specifically targeting architecture and engineering firms. The scope of work encompasses various projects, including standard construction, reclamation, and environmental clean-up, with a focus on project design, surveillance, and cost estimating. Approved vendors will be pre-qualified for a 12-month term, after which they must resubmit their qualifications for evaluation and renewal. The State maintains the right to reopen the solicitation for additional vendors at any time, provided it is not more than once every twelve months. The evaluation process consists of a two-stage review where submissions are first checked for responsiveness and then evaluated by a committee using a pass/fail technical criteria system. To pass, firms must provide more than five references, achieve at least 70 reference points, and submit all required documentation. Any failure in these technical metrics results in disqualification. Once on the list, firms may be selected for projects with a small purchase threshold of up to 100,000 dollars per project. Selected firms are required to maintain standard Errors and Omissions insurance and certify that they are not engaged in an economic boycott of the State of Israel.
