Legal Notice
The
Board of County Commissioners (the “Board”), in and for Clark County, Ohio
intends to receive Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”) from professional
design firms desiring to be placed on the list of prequalified firms interested
in providing services to the Clark
County Department of Utilities (the “Department”) for projects with an
estimated design fee of less than $50,000.
Firms interested in being added to the Pre-qualified list may submit SOQs
at any time. To be selected for a particular
project, a firm must have either submitted a current SOQ within a year prior to
selection for the project, or the firm must have sent notice to the
Department’s Operations Engineer indicating that the information in a
previously submitted SOQ is still current, along with any necessary updates. A prequalified firm will be removed from this
list if the firm submits a letter requesting to be removed or fails to timely
submit either a current SOQ or a notice indicating that a previously submitted
SOQ is still current.
A firm requesting
to be added to the prequalified list shall submit One (1) copy of the firm’s Statement
of Qualifications to the Clark County Department of Utilities, 3130 East Main
Street, P.O. Box 1303, Springfield, Ohio 45501-1303, Attention: Tom Bleidorn, Operations Engineer. Questions may be submitted via email to
or by mail. A firm’s SOQ will expire one (1) year after
submission if the firm fails to keep the SOQ current as indicated in this legal
notice.
Factors
to be determined for prequalification:
·
Competence
to perform the required professional design services as indicated by the
technical training, education, and experience of the firm’s personnel,
especially the technical training, education, and experience of the employees
within the firm who would be assigned to perform the services.
·
Ability
of the firm in terms of its workload and the availability of qualified
personnel, equipment, and facilities to perform the required professional
design services competently and expeditiously.
·
Past
performance of the firm as reflected by the evaluations of previous clients
with respect to such factors as control of costs, quality of work, and meeting
of deadlines.
The prequalification of any
professional design firm does not guarantee that the Board will contract with
or use that particular firm for any particular project. Prequalification simply means that the firm
may be considered for professional design projects with an estimated cost of
less than $50,000 pursuant to R.C. 153.71(A).
