INTRODUCTION

Washington County Water Conservancy District (district) is a water conservancy district

organized and existing under the Utah Water Conservancy District Act. The district is

seeking statements of qualifications from qualified design professionals to provide design and

construction management for the replacement of a 10” potable water pipeline approximately

11,000 feet long (procurement item). The following contains information relating to the

procurement item required and describes the criteria and selection process the district will

use to select a design professional and negotiate a satisfactory contract at a price fair and

reasonable to the district.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS SUBMISSION

Statements of qualifications must be received by the district no later than Friday

March 27th 2026 5:00 pm see SOQ Timeline below. The statement of qualifications must be

submitted in portable document format (PDF) via email to dinah@wcwcd.gov. The email must

clearly identify: 1) Name of design professional, 2) Contact information of design professional,

and 3) that it contains a STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR ENGINEERING

SERVICES. The district assumes no responsibility for delays or other failures, whether

caused by internet or system failure or any other event.

AGREEMENT

The district’s Agreement, which includes its standard terms and conditions, is attached and

incorporated as Exhibit A. Any exceptions to the terms, conditions, or requirements found in

the Agreement must be submitted with the design professional’s statement of qualifications.

Such exceptions will be considered in the evaluation and award process. The district shall be

the sole determiner of the acceptability of any exception. The district reserves the right to

modify the Agreement prior to execution.

The district’s Request for Statements of Qualifications does not obligate the district to award

any contract or to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of a statement of qualifications,

interview, or associated material

Renewal Conditions

The Agreement may not continue or be renewed for any year after the first year of the

contract if adequate funds are not appropriated or otherwise available to continue or renew

the Agreement.

UTAH GOVERNMENT RECORDS ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT ACT

The district is subject to the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act, Utah

Code Ann. § 63G-2-101, et. seq. (GRAMA). All statements of qualifications are ordinarily

public documents once an award is made. A design professional who desires to request

protected status of any information submitted in the statement of qualifications is

responsible to understand and implement any protection provided by GRAMA. The district

will not be bound by any instructions contained in a statement of qualifications, but rather,

will only be governed by GRAMA and district GRAMA policies. Below is the information and

process regarding how to submit a request for Business Confidentiality with your submission.

BUSINESS CONFIDENTIALITY

In accordance with State Law, all files submitted in response to a procurement (Bids,

SOQs, RFPs, etc..) are a public record and are subject to public review upon request.

However, a vendor may request that portions of their submission containing trade secrets

or certain commercial or financial information identified in Utah Code §63G-2-305(1)-( 2)

be classified as a protected record by complying with Utah Code §63G-2-309(1). Protected

records are not generally available to the public except under certain circumstances.

To request the protected classification, the firm must provide the District with a written

claim of business confidentiality indicating what parts of their submission it would like to

be classified as protected, along with a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim of

business confidentiality. The district provides the WCWCD Claim of Business

Confidentiality form for this purpose.

If making a claim of business confidentiality, submission should include a set of unredacted

files and a set of redacted files, with the confidentiality form (attached). Please note that

the submission cannot be fully redacted. Washington County Water Conservancy District

will not redact a proposal on behalf of a claimant if they fail to upload a redacted copy of

their proposal.

Follow the directions in the procurement notice to submit your files in response to the

procurement.

CERTIFICATION

By submitting a statement of qualifications, the design professional certifies that it has read

and understands the documents provided, has become familiar with the conditions which

might directly or indirectly affect provision of the procurement item, has identified any

questions or concerns regarding provision of the procurement item, and has ensured that all

questions are fully clarified.

The design professional certifies its ability to provide the procurement item as set forth in

this Request for Statements of Qualifications based on detailed review of the information
