MANAGEMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, AND INSPECTION
SERVICES, ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 26-25
Background:

The Public Services Department is responsible for implementing the City’s Capital Improvement Program, which includes roadway, traffic signal, underground utilities, and facility improvement projects. Effective project management, construction management, and inspection (PM, CM, and CI) services are essential to deliver the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

To support the City’s Capital Improvement Program and other Citywide efforts, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-815 on November 13, 2025, via the City’s PlanetBids portal, soliciting proposals from qualified firms to provide Citywide PM, CM, and CI services. The RFP is for an initial three-year term, with two optional one-year extensions.

The RFP outlined the City’s need for various PM, CM, and CI tasks, including project development/programming, constructability/document review, construction management, inspection, and quality assurance services, with the intent to develop a shortlist of qualified firms.

On December 10, 2025, the City received proposals from the following 19 firms:
