This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Charleston, South Carolina. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

For Professional Services for CAD & BIM Standardization and Roadmap The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) by Charleston Water System (CWS) is to solicit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from consultants interested in the opportunity to provide support for two phases of services: Phase 1: The creation of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) custom standards and templates (showcase files). It is the intent that these standards and showcase files be specific to the needs of CWS. They should clearly communicate expectations and requirements for deliverables from serving entities (Consultants and Contractors) and/or partnering parties. Standards and showcase files are to be focused, and targeted, towards the most widely used, and industry recognized, software(s) in CAD and BIM with a secondary focus on future integrations into secondarily supportive software(s) which CWS currently uses or plans to use in the future. Phase 2: The creation of a roadmap and implementation strategy to guide CWS in the future success of its use in CAD and BIM to manage assets, data, and projects. It is the intent that this roadmap considers items such as technology requirements, resourcing needs, business process development, QA/QC processes, data integrations, and other items related to best practices in the management of CAD and BIM information. CWS is the water and wastewater provider for the City of Charleston, South Carolina and surrounding areas. CWS will use the SOQs, submitted in response to this RFQ, to identify a consultant who, in the sole judgment of CWS, is suitably qualified to undertake the scope of work. CWS reserves the right to choose one consultant to support both phases of work or choose separate consultants to support each phase of work identified. Consultants are invited to submit an SOQ for one or both phases of work. This RFQ is not soliciting the purchase of software, system integrations, or configurations. CWS will provide its own license and software as well as all hardware necessary. All requests for the RFQ and any questions regarding this Solicitation shall be directed to Mr. David Gordon, Charleston Water System (843) 727-7202, gordondr@charleston cpw.com. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
