FOR AS-NEEDED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR

The City of Camden is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) under RFQ 26-14 to establish a prequalified list of professional design, engineering, and consulting firms for as-needed services over a one-year period. The scope of work covers a broad range of disciplines, including civil, municipal, transportation, structural, and MEP engineering, as well as architecture, environmental remediation, geotechnical engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, construction management, and grant support. Interested firms must submit their proposals electronically via the Bids&Tenders portal by September 17, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Selection is based on an evaluation of the RFQ, focusing on approach, past performance, personnel competence, municipal experience, and geographical location, with an additional preference of up to 5% for firms located within the City of Camden. Mandatory submission documents include a statement of interest, a fee schedule, a statement of ownership disclosure, a non-collusion affidavit, and a record of satisfactory performance from the last five years with at least three client references. Awarded contractors must comply with New Jersey state laws, including the Local Public Contracts Law and the Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act, and must adhere to strict non-discrimination and affirmative action policies. Contract administration requires monthly itemized billings, though the City will not reimburse for in-house communications, routine administrative overhead, or standard travel. Only travel for mandatory events is billable at half the proposed rate. Additionally, firms must maintain comprehensive insurance naming the City of Camden as an additional insured and certify that they are not engaged in investment activities in Iran.
