The Butler County Engineer’s Office intends to utilize a small project selection process for services estimated to be less than $50,000 for the 2024 design year as part of the BCEO Consultant Selection Policy. A provision enacted in 2011 (O.R.C. §153.71 (A)) allows a public authority to select a single design professional or firm from among those that have submitted a current statement of qualifications within the immediately preceding year, “based on the public authority’s determination that the selected design professional or firm is the most qualified to provide the required professional design services.” Firms interested in being considered for direct selection for the 2024 design year should reply with the firm’s updated qualifications no later than 4:30 pm on December 15th, 2023.
The updated qualifications should include information regarding the firm’s history; education and experience of owners and key technical personnel; the technical expertise of the firm’s current staff; the firm’s experience in performing engineering studies, design, construction administration and construction observation; availability of staff; the firm’s equipment and facilities; references; and any previous work performed for the Butler County Engineer’s Office. Also, please include any of the following categories the firm is requesting prequalification for:
• Roadway Engineering
• Structural Engineering
• Traffic Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Surveying
• Stormwater Services
Updated qualifications should be emailed electronically to Ms. Paula Burton ([email protected]).
Hard copies are not necessary.
