INTRODUCTION

On Thursday, July 1, 2004, the City of North Las Vegas, (City), Public Works Department, Engineering Services Division (Division) will discard all Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) and Technical Proposals currently on file. The City is now requesting updated SOQs from qualified consultants to provide various Architectural, Engineering, and Other Professional Services, for the term July 2004 to June 2006, to facilitate the implementation of the City’s Capital Improvement Program and other municipal programs.

When Capital Improvement Projects and municipal programs become funded during this term, these SOQs may be evaluated by committee to short-list and select best qualified consultants to provide services to the City, depending on the size and/or technical complexity of the Project, funding availability, and the type of services required.

This packet contains all forms necessary for firms to respond to the City’s Request for Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for Professional Architectural, Engineering, and Other Professional Services for the term July 2004 to June 2006. Firms are advised to carefully review all contents of this packet. Only submittals properly completed as instructed in this packet will be accepted for evaluation. The original SOQ submittal deadline, for the term July 2004 to June 2006, was June 7, 2004 at 5:00 p.m. Firms that missed the deadline, are new to the area, or previously-submitted firms that undergo significant corporate changes (such as a merger) may also submit a post-deadline SOQ. Firms that qualify and are interested in providing one or more of these services must complete a separate SOQ Submittal for each Service Area using the information and forms contained in this packet but only for the Service Areas listed. Requirements for Service Areas not listed will be addressed by separate Requests for SOQs if and when needed. Submittals received for a Service Area in which submittals were received prior to June 7, 2004 and were already ranked, will be placed at the end of the list. Submittals received for unranked Service Areas will be considered with the pre-June 7, 2004 submittals, if and when those Service Areas are ranked.

Electronic copies of the forms may be obtained online at: www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com / Departments / Public Works / Engineering Services / SOQ Information, Consultant Selection Criteria, and Rankings / Current Requests For Proposals, or may be picked up in person at the Engineering Services Counter.

Submittals shall be delivered to and submittal packets are available at, the following address between the hours or 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday:

2. Q. If I have a question regarding preparation of an SOQ, whom should I contact?

2. A. Kelly J. Moon, Project Coordinator, Engineering Services Division, phone number: (702) 633-1363 TDD (800) 326-6868, fax number: 702-642-0390, email: moonk@ci.north-las-vegas.nv.us.

3. Q. Can the SOQ packet be e-mailed to our firm?

3. A. No, but it may be obtained from the City of North Las Vegas’ website, per instructions.

4. Q. What is different in this process from the previous (July 2002-June 2004) SOQ request?

4. A. Two primary changes in the new SOQ request are: 1) Service Areas have been revised to correspond to projects and services anticipated during

the term July 2004 - June 2006.2) Various minor modifications have been made to forms and procedures, and are intended to

streamline the overall submittal process and encourage SOQ Submittals with information most applicable with the proposed service areas.

5. Q. On Forms “B” (Experience - Professional Staff) and “C” (Experience - Technical and Other Key Staff), do individual names need to be listed on the page, even if a staff member has no experience in a particular area listed on that page?

5. A. No. List the individual’s name only on each applicable page.

6. Q. When and where are the SOQs due?

6. A. Monday, June 7, 2004 by 5:00 p.m., delivered to 2288 Civic Center Drive, North Las Vegas, NV 89030. “Late” submittal SOQs may be delivered at any time, as per question/answer #8.

7. A. Yes. Each Service Area must be a separate submittal, and each of the three (3) required copies of each Service Area submittals must be bound separately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - continued24

8. Q. Can our firm submit an SOQ after the deadline, or at any other time during the July 2004 to June 2006 term?

8. A. Yes, but only if a new firm establishes a local office or a previously-submitted firm has significant corporate changes within the 2-year term, such as a merger. Routine changes in personnel are not considered significant corporate changes.

Note: If the Service Area has already been ranked, the late or revised SOQ will automatically be placed at the bottom of the ranked list, but the SOQ will be considered for future projects. If the Service Area has not yet been ranked, the revised SOQ will be accepted and considered if, or when, that Service Area is ranked without penalty.

9. Q. When will the respective areas be evaluated and ranked?

9. Q. If funding becomes available for a project, the SOQs corresponding to the applicable Service Area will be reviewed and ranked at that time. If funding does not become available for a project during the July 2004 to June 2006 term, the applicable Service Area SOQs may not be reviewed nor ranked.

10. Q. What are the criteria for ranking the Service Areas?

10. A. Criteria are typically developed on a project-specific basis by committee. Criteria may include, but are not limited to:

Quality of work, ability to meet budget & schedule on prior City Projects.Responsiveness to the request for SOQs.Past performance with similar projects, including checking references.Qualifications, experience, and availability of key staff.Subconsultant expertise.Organizational approach to the project.

11. Q. Who serves on the Evaluation Committee?

11. A. Various people serve on Evaluation Committees to read, evaluate, and rank SOQs submitted for a given Service Area. On large, technically complex, or unusual Projects, the Committee may consist of a Project Proponent (end user), the City’s Project Manager (who will serve as the City’s point of contact to the selected consultant), and an outside agency representative (a representative of the funding agency and/or an individual who may possess technical proficiency in the Service Area). On small, routine projects, the Committee may consist of the City’s Project Manager and any other appropriate City representative(s).

12. Q. How do I find out where my firm ranked?

12. A. As areas are ranked during the July 2004 to June 2006 term, results will be posted on the City website online at www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/ Departments / Public Works / Engineering Services, SOQ Information, Consultant Selection Criteria and Rankings. If the Service Area ranking results are not posted on the website, they have not been ranked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - continued

13. Q. Once an area is ranked and posted, will subsequent projects be awarded to the next highest ranked firm?

13. A. When the next project in a Service Area becomes funded, a committee will determine at that time whether or not the previous evaluation and ranking are pertinent to the new project, or if another review and ranking needs to be performed for the new project. Project-specific technical proposals and/or interviews with the most qualified firms may still be required at any time.

14. Q. When does the City issue Professional Services Agreements instead of Purchase Orders?

14. A. See Table:

Contract Type Agreements Purchase Orders
