1. Project Purpose & Objectives
The City of Monroe is seeking Statements of Qualifications from professional
engineering firms to provide on-call general water resources engineering
services. The selected firm or firms will supplement City staff by providing
technical review, planning, design, permitting coordination, regulatory
support, construction-related services, infrastructure evaluation, and other
professional engineering services as assigned by the City.
The City anticipates utilizing selected firms to support a variety of water
resources and utility-related needs, including water distribution, wastewater
collection, water treatment, wastewater treatment, utility planning,
infrastructure rehabilitation, regulatory compliance, capital project
development, and construction support. Services may also include review of
development-related infrastructure, including subdivisions, feasibility analyses,
site plans, utility extensions, and other public or private infrastructure proposed
for connection to or impact upon City systems.
2. Background and Anticipated Use of Services
The City of Monroe operates and maintains water resources infrastructure that
supports public health, environmental protection, regulatory compliance,
economic development, and long-term community growth. This infrastructure
includes water distribution, wastewater collection, water treatment,
wastewater treatment, stormwater, pumping, storage, transmission, and
related utility systems. The City has ongoing needs for technical engineering
support related to planning, design, permitting, construction, system
evaluation, rehabilitation, regulatory coordination, and infrastructure
management.
The City’s intent is to establish a pool of up to five qualified professional
engineering firms that can supplement City staff by providing general water
resources engineering services on an as-needed basis. The selected firms may
be used to support capital projects, utility planning efforts, infrastructure
evaluations, regulatory compliance needs, construction-related services,
emergency or time-sensitive assignments, and other technical tasks as
assigned by the City.
Selected firms may be asked to assist with water and wastewater system
planning, feasibility analyses, capacity evaluations, treatment and collection
system improvements, infrastructure rehabilitation, modeling, permitting
coordination, funding support, bid and construction phase services, condition
assessments, asset management support, technical reporting, and owner-
advisor services. Services may also include review of development-related
infrastructure, including subdivisions, site plans, utility extensions, easements,
3
record drawings, and other improvements proposed for connection to or
impact upon City utility systems.
The selected firm or firms will work under the direction of the City and will serve
as technical support to City staff. The City will retain final authority over project
decisions, infrastructure acceptance, standards interpretation, regulatory
positions, development approval, and policy matters. The selected firms will
assist the City in maintaining technical quality, improving responsiveness,
managing workload, and advancing internal priorities, capital projects, asset
management, and long-range infrastructure needs.
Services will be authorized by the City on an as-needed basis. The City makes
no guarantee of a minimum amount of work under this RFQ. Work may vary
depending on capital project needs, regulatory requirements, development
activity, staffing capacity, project complexity, emergency needs, funding
availability, and other City priorities.
The City anticipates utilizing the EJCDC E-505 Standard Form of Agreement
Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services, Task Order Edition.
Alternatives to this contractual method may be evaluated through the
contract negotiation process.
3. General Service Requirements

needed basis as authorized by the City of Monroe. All work shall be
performed under the direction of the City.
