We expect to release the RFQ for Engineering Services before the end of the year. In the meantime, based off conversations with the city, we anticipate a substantial Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal. We strongly encourage firms to familiarize themselves with the City’s Small Business Opportunity Program requirements, particularly Sections 2-1371 and 2-1372 regarding SBE commitments and documentation of good-faith efforts. The City’s Office of Contract Compliance (OCC) views the commitments made in the bid process as binding, per code section 2-1373. 

Supplemental disciplines such as survey, geotechnical, and community engagement are not anticipated to constitute a high enough percentage of the scope of services to achieve the OCC goal. We encourage firms to also consider subcontracting portions of core engineering services to qualified SBEs. We hope that you will be thoughtful and realistic about the SBE commitments, as the selected firm will be expected to fulfill the percentage committed to in their bid paperwork throughout the contract.
