Request for Qualifications Professional Engineering Consulting Services

The City of Buffalo's Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets (DPW) Division of Engineering is seeking qualified engineering firms through a Request for Qualifications to establish an Individual Sponsor Developed Local Development and Service Agreement (LDSA) for projects related to highways, bridges, transportation, and other federally eligible contracts within the city. The selected firms will provide a range of services from project scoping and preliminary design phases (I-IV) to final design (V-VI), as well as construction administration and inspection services, over a three-year period from 2025 to 2028. The procurement emphasizes a disadvantaged owned subcontracting goal of 20%, with no set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The contract size is estimated between five million and twenty million dollars, and the response deadline for submissions is April 30, 2025. This initiative aims to streamline the selection of engineering consultants for federally funded infrastructure projects within Erie County, specifically in Buffalo. The solicitation, identified as RFQ number 2120645, is open to firms with relevant experience and is managed by Nolan Skipper, whose contact details are provided for inquiries. The project underscores the city's commitment to fostering diverse participation in its infrastructure development efforts while ensuring quality engineering services for significant transportation and public works projects over the specified term.
