City of Dublin
Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) must be received by: Friday, March 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
Julius Pickney, Management Analyst II
100 Civic Plaza
City of Dublin, CA 94568
Statement of Qualifications will be evaluated on the following: a) responsiveness to the Request for Qualification
questions, b) experience of the firm, c) experience and qualifications of the assigned individuals and d) Satisfaction
of previous clients.
Overview
Request for Qualifications
For
On-Call Transportation Planning and Engineering Services
The City of Dublin is seeking qualified Engineering firms to provide professional on-call transportation planning
and engineering services. Services will support private development review, Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
projects, and citywide transportation analysis and implementation efforts.
Project Description
The City is interested in securing firms for the specific purpose of obtaining on-call transportation planning and
engineering services. This RFQ does not commit the City to enter into a contract, nor does it obligate the City to
pay for any costs incurred in preparation and submission of the statement of qualifications (SOQ) or in anticipation
of a contract.
This agreement shall be established for a three-year term, with the option to extend for up to two additional
years. Please note, the City may select more than one firm with which to enter into a contract. Proposals shall be
required for all services identified in this RFQ. Selected firm(s) 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.
Considerations
The City of Dublin is seeking professional services of qualified engineering firms to provide on-call transportation
planning and engineering services for multiple projects over the next three years. The City intends to select the
most qualified firm(s) 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. Tasks involving traffic signal hardware, communications systems, controller
programming, or central system configuration are anticipated to be performed under the City’s On-Call Intelligent
Transportation Systems Services Consulting Services Agreement; however, the transportation consultant may
provide operational analysis and improvement recommendation.
Once a Task Order is approved, rates are locked in for the duration of the project. Travel time, mileage, vehicles,
meals, etc. will not be allowed and should be incorporated into your hourly rates provided. Consultant may
request hourly rates be updated annually, prior to the City’s fiscal year start. Rate increases shall not exceed 3%
and shall be based on the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index CPI for that period of time and this shall
be submitted to the Public Works Management Analyst, or their designee, each May (effective each July 1st) for
approval prior to taking effect.
