Request for Qualifications Engineering Services

The City of Burlington, North Carolina, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify qualified engineering consulting firms capable of providing a broad range of professional on-call services. The primary goal is to establish a Master Service Agreement with selected firms to support various municipal infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, stormwater management, treatment facilities, transportation, architectural services, subsurface utility engineering, surveying, and specialized inspection or testing services. The RFQ emphasizes the importance of experience in managing complex schedules and coordinating multiple disciplines, with the selection process focusing on demonstrated competence rather than fee proposals. The contract size is estimated to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the scope and scale of anticipated projects. The solicitation was posted on September 24, 2025, with a response deadline of October 23, 2025. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 7, 2025, to provide potential respondents with additional information and clarify submission requirements. The City of Burlington aims to create a pool of qualified consultants who can deliver design, project management, construction administration, and specialized engineering services across various infrastructure sectors. Interested firms are encouraged to submit their statements of qualifications, demonstrating their expertise and experience in municipal engineering projects, to be considered for inclusion in the Master Service Agreement that will support ongoing and future city projects. The primary point of contact for this RFQ is Brad Barber, reachable via email at [email hidden].
