GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), in accordance with Idaho Code § 67-2320, is seeking qualified

land surveying services (“Firm”) to submit a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) demonstrating the

ability to provide land surveying services to the IDL for purposes related to the Idaho State

Endowment Trust Lands (“the Endowment”). Firms are expected to have the expertise necessary to

perform the duties described herein. IDL’s primary goal is to provide long-term, sustainable revenue

to the groups that directly benefit from the Endowment assets within the state of Idaho. The purpose

of this RFSOQ is to identify a survey services firm to complete the work in accordance with the scope

of work and all other contractual requirements.

PUBLIC RECORDS

Pursuant to Idaho Code Section 74-127, information or documents received from the Contractor

may be open to public inspection and copying unless exempt from disclosure. The Contractor shall

clearly designate individual documents as “exempt” on each page of such documents and shall

indicate the basis for such exemption. IDL will not accept the marking of an entire document as

exempt. In addition, IDL will not accept a legend or statement on one (1) page that all, or

substantially all, of the document is exempt from disclosure. The Contractor shall indemnify and

defend IDL against all liability, claims, damages, losses, expenses, actions, attorney fees and suits

whatsoever for honoring such a designation or for the Contractor’s failure to designate individual

documents as exempt. The Contractor’s failure to designate as exempt any document or portion

of a document that is released by IDL shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims for

damages caused by any such release. If IDL receives a request for materials claimed exempt by

the Contractor, the Contractor shall provide the legal defense for such claim.

PURPOSE OF PROCEDURE

The Idaho Department of Lands "Qualification Based Selection" (QBS) is to comply with Idaho Code

67-2320. This procedure provides for an orderly process of:

1. Solicitation for professional qualifications

2. Evaluation and ranking of qualifications

3. Negotiation of scope of services and fees with highest ranked offerors(s)

RFSOQ GUIDELINES

SOQ, or any work performed prior to the execution of a contract.

4. Upon request, the submitting firm shall submit additional information within the timeframe

included in the request for additional information. Failure to provide the additional information

within the specified timeframe may result in a finding of Non-Responsiveness.

5. The IDL reserves the right to:

• Waive any informalities or irregularities and reject any or all proposals received as a

result of this RFSOQ

• Select all or part of the respondent’s submittal

• Negotiate changes in the scope of work or services to be provided

• Conduct investigations required to determine the submitting firm’s performance

record and ability to perform the assignments specified as a part of this RFSOQ

• Negotiate separately with any source in a manner deemed to be in the best interests

of the Agency

• Issue, at any time, an individual project that falls within the scope of work parameters

of identified survey services without prejudice to the Firm selected under this RFSOQ.

6. If, through any cause, the contracted firm shall fail to fulfill in a timely and proper manner

its obligations under an awarded agreement, or if the firm shall violate any covenants, terms,

or conditions of the agreement, then IDL reserves the right to cancel the agreement and

pay the Firm only for work performed without prejudice by giving at least five (5) days prior

written notice to the Firm of such termination.

BURDEN OF PROOF

Any deviations from the specifications must be clearly stated. It shall be the responsibility and

burden of the submitting firm to furnish the IDL with its original submission sufficient data to

determine if the goods or services offered conform to the specifications.

VERBAL INFORMATION

IDL will not be responsible for any verbal information regarding this solicitation.

ADDENDA/AMENDMENT:

It will be the submitting firm’s responsibility to check the IDL website for any

addenda/amendments prior to submitting a SOQ. In the event IDL revises any part of the

solicitation documents, it will make the addenda/amendment available on the IDL website at

Contracting - Department of Lands. Information given to a firm will be available to all other firms

if such information is necessary for purposes of submitting a SOQ or if failure to give such

information would be prejudicial to uninformed firms.

RESPONSIBILITY:

Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) must demonstrate the ability to provide professional Survey

Services. Interested firms are expected to have the expertise necessary to perform the duties

described within this RFSOQ.

IDL reserves the right to make reasonable inquiry to determine the responsibility of a firm. Such

requests may include but not be limited to financial statements, credit ratings, statements of

experience and past performance, references, etc. Successful firms must show to the satisfaction

of the Idaho Department of Lands that they have sufficient expertise to complete the work

contracted by the time specified. The failure of a firm to promptly supply information in connection

with SOQ is reason for disqualification.
