1.0 Proposal Invitation

Washtenaw Community College (WCC) is requesting proposals from engineering firms able to provide a

variety of studies, civil engineering, surveying and construction management services required by

Washtenaw Community College as needed. The services desired include, but are not limited to, design

and preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates, construction inspection/observation,

construction contract administration, permit drawings and applications, grant applications and

administration. This is an indefinite scope, indefinite delivery solicitation for miscellaneous services

under $50,000 per project.

Firms are asked to submit general, non-project related proposals in line with their area of expertise. Firms

will be chosen based on how closely their expertise fits with the needs of the required work, their

proposed work plan and fees. If a partnership is required for a particular project between two firms, then

the lead firm will submit qualifications, work plan and fee proposal for the sub-consultant, which will be

evaluated as part of the proposal.
