The City of Newark’s Department of Water and Sewer Utilities is seeking qualified professional engineering firms to provide on‑call, as‑needed engineering services for its water‑and‑sewer infrastructure. This RFQ does not specify a particular project; instead, the City will retain firms that can respond quickly to a variety of engineering tasks such as design, inspection, permitting, and consulting. Firms will be evaluated on experience, reputation, knowledge of the agency, and hourly rates. No fixed contract value is disclosed; selected firms will later be asked to submit pricing for individual assignments. • Open‑ended “as‑needed” services – no defined scope, allowing flexibility across many water‑utility engineering tasks. • Evaluation based on qualifications, agency familiarity, and hourly rates rather than a fixed price proposal. • Submission deadline 14 Nov 2024; one original plus five copies required in sealed envelope addressed to the Director.
