Utility Framework Consultant

The University of Connecticut has issued a solicitation to establish a framework contract with multidisciplinary civil and utility engineering firms through a Request for Qualifications. The contract aims to support short-term utility infrastructure projects scheduled between July and August 2025, with submissions due via the HuskyBuy Portal by August 19, 2025. The procurement is open to all vendors, with no set-aside restrictions, and the contract value is estimated between 500,000 and 5 million dollars. The primary contact for inquiries is Cesar Alonzo, who can be reached by email or phone. The contract specifies delivery on an FOB Destination basis and payment within 30 days of invoice receipt, but does not include detailed technical specifications, scope of work, or evaluation criteria in the available documentation. Notably, the contract lacks explicit references to federal or state regulations, specific clauses, or standard certifications such as FAR clauses or socioeconomic certifications. It does not specify any attachments, exhibits, or supporting documents beyond a referenced RFQ PDF, nor does it include detailed packaging, marking, or shipping instructions. The evaluation process appears to be qualifications-based, with no detailed scoring or weighting criteria provided. Additionally, there are no special contract requirements, security provisions, or key personnel stipulations. Overall, the procurement emphasizes a straightforward qualification submission process with minimal contractual or regulatory complexities, focusing on prequalification for utility engineering services at the University of Connecticut.
