Project Description
The City of Dublin is seeking qualified professional consulting services to support, maintain, enhance, and

years. Proposals shall be required for all services identified in this RFQ. Selected providers shall submit SOQs which
demonstrate that they can perform the scope of work for all potential projects but are not guaranteed work.
Work shall be requested on an as needed basis and paid according to an approved rate schedule. The cost of
developing a scope of service for a particular project shall be included in the Consultant’s cost of doing business
and the City will not be responsible for any costs associated with preparing it.

The City seeks a qualified GIS consulting firm to provide ongoing professional GIS services. The City intends to
select the most qualified firm to provide these services. The selected firm will perform services on a “Time and
Materials” basis to be negotiated with the City. The firm’s services will be negotiated on a per project basis and
have a budget and specific work scope. Below are the required and desired qualifications for the GIS consulting
services firm:

request hourly rates be updated annually, prior to the City’s fiscal year start. Rate increases shall not exceed 3%
