Pre-Qualifying Additional Firms to Supplement RFQ 17483- Construction Phase Services

The City of Lubbock, Texas, is issuing a solicitation to pre-qualify professional firms capable of providing construction phase services for roadway infrastructure projects, including oversight and engineering responsibilities during construction. This process involves firms submitting Statements of Qualifications that detail their organizational structure, relevant experience, key personnel credentials, and project approach, with evaluation based primarily on team qualifications, past project performance, and methodology. Notably, the solicitation explicitly prohibits including any fee proposals or cost estimates at this stage, emphasizing a focus on qualifications rather than pricing. The selected firms will be considered for future task orders or contracts, with the ultimate award based on a quality-based, trade-off evaluation rather than lowest bid. The procurement documents incorporate extensive compliance and legal certifications, including conflict of interest disclosures, federal suspension and debarment certifications, and Texas-specific disclosures such as the Certificate of Interested Parties and certifications related to doing business with certain foreign entities. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating comprehensive coverage with specific endorsements, proof of compliance within ten days of award, and ongoing maintenance of policies to mitigate risk. The process also emphasizes transparency and legal adherence, requiring firms to disclose any conflicts, certify their non-participation in boycotts, and affirm their eligibility under federal and state regulations. Submission must be completed electronically via the BonfireHub portal by December 10, 2025, with a strict page limit of 35 pages for the entire qualification package. Overall, the solicitation underscores a rigorous qualification-based selection process designed to identify highly capable firms for critical construction oversight roles within the City of Lubbock’s infrastructure development program.
