The City uses prequalification as a method to develop and maintain a list of engineers and architects who meet the minimum standards to be considered for City consulting work in various work categories.
For more information about The City’s prequalification process for engineers and architects, email Supply Consulting.
Who should be prequalified
Engineering and architectural firms interested in working for The City must be prequalified in order to bid on future opportunities. The prequalification is not for vendors or suppliers of goods and general services.
Categories of engineering and architectural services that require prequalification are specified in the prequalification document. Requirements for other categories of consulting that are not listed in the prequalification document are advertised on The City’s website (see Bid Opportunities) and the Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC) as business needs arise.
How to become prequalified
Engineering and architectural firms must respond to The City’s Request for Prequalification for Engineering and Architectural Related Consultants (
RFPQ #06-006). The document is available by emailing Supply Consulting.
After responses are evaluated, consultants who meet the minimum standards specified in the document will be notified of their prequalification status.
Validity period for prequalification
The validity period for prequalification based onRFPQ #06-006 is two years from the date of notice of prequalification and may be renewed for four additional two-year periods, when mutually agreeable between The City and the consultant. However, at any time during the prequalification period, The Ciy may re-evaluate or require further information from the consultant to maintain their prequalified status.
