Attachments: image002.png; Looks like we will have to amend the RFP to include “Qualification Based Selection” (QBS) in replace of a fee proposal. Jennifer Cline, P.E. City of Molalla Public Works Director O: 503.759.0218 F: 503.829.3676 From: Alison Davis [mailto:adavis@acecoregon.org] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 12:24 PM To: jcline@cityofmolalla.com Subject: Urban Renewal Engineering RFP response Jennifer – I am responding to the RFP for Urban Renewal Engineering Services. On January 1, 2012 (HB 3316) became operative. The law requires Qualification Based Selection (QBS) for the procurement of engineers, architects, land surveyors, photogrammetrists, and transportation planners. ORS 279C.110 (1) as amended states: A contracting agency shall select consultants to provide architectural, engineering, photogrammetric mapping, transportation planning or land surveying services on the basis of the consultant’s qualifications for the type of professional service required. A contracting agency may solicit or use pricing policies and proposals or other pricing information, including the number of hours proposed for the service required, expenses, hourly rates and overhead, to determine consultant compensation only after the contracting agency has selected a candidate…” (Emphasis added) Page 4 of the RFP calls for a fee proposal Please let me know if there will be an addendum for the RFP. If you have any questions concerning the QBS process, please contact me at (503) 292-2348 or adavis@acecoregon.org. Thank you, Alison Davis Executive Director American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon (ACEC Oregon) 503-292-2348
