Request for Qualifications

For

On-Call Transportation Planning and Engineering Services

The City of Dublin is seeking qualified Engineering firms to provide professional on-call transportation planning

and engineering services. Services will support private development review, Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

projects, and citywide transportation analysis and implementation efforts.

Project Description

The City is interested in securing firms for the specific purpose of obtaining on-call transportation planning and

engineering services. This RFQ does not commit the City to enter into a contract, nor does it obligate the City to

pay for any costs incurred in preparation and submission of the statement of qualifications (SOQ) or in anticipation

of a contract.

This agreement shall be established for a three-year term, with the option to extend for up to two additional

years. Please note, the City may select more than one firm with which to enter into a contract. Proposals shall be

required for all services identified in this RFQ. Selected firm(s) shall submit SOQs which demonstrate that they can

perform the scope of work for all potential projects, but are not guaranteed work.

Work shall be requested on an as needed basis and paid according to an approved rate schedule. The cost of

developing a scope of service for a particular project shall be included in the Consultant’s cost of doing business

and the City will not be responsible for any costs associated with preparing it.

Considerations

The City of Dublin is seeking professional services of qualified engineering firms to provide on-call transportation

planning and engineering services for multiple projects over the next three years. The City intends to select the

most qualified firm(s) to provide these services. The selected firm will perform services on a “Time and Materials”

basis to be negotiated with the City. The firm’s services will be negotiated on a per project basis and have a budget

and specific work scope. Tasks involving traffic signal hardware, communications systems, controller

programming, or central system configuration are anticipated to be performed under the City’s On-Call Intelligent

Transportation Systems Services Consulting Services Agreement; however, the transportation consultant may

provide operational analysis and improvement recommendation.

Once a Task Order is approved, rates are locked in for the duration of the project. Travel time, mileage, vehicles,

meals, etc. will not be allowed and should be incorporated into your hourly rates provided. Consultant may

request hourly rates be updated annually, prior to the City’s fiscal year start. Rate increases shall not exceed 3%

and shall be based on the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index CPI for that period of time and this shall

be submitted to the Public Works Management Analyst, or their designee, each May (effective each July 1st) for

approval prior to taking effect.
