The Township of North Dundas is implementing a Roster system to retain the services of one or more consulting firms for engineering and construction assignments on an "as and when requested" basis under a standing offer agreement. The duration of the agreement is from May 10th, 2024, to April 30, 2027 with the option for annual two (2) one (1) year renewals to April 30 2029. The Roster will be created by listing those firms that best meet the qualifications in each of the specialized roster disciplines. Only those firms submitting in response to this RFSO will have the opportunity to be listed on the Roster. The Township will review consultants' qualifications and select firms to include on the Roster using the criteria described in this RFSO. Selection to a Roster discipline does not provide any guarantee of roster assignments. The Township's goal in implementing the Engineering and Construction Consultant's Roster (ECCR) is to shorten project cycle times, decrease project costs and provide 'best-fit' matching flexibility for engineering assignments. Consultants are expected to benefit because the Roster process consolidates the selection process and reduces business development costs associated with the traditional 3-step (Expression of Interest (EOI), RFP and interview) process currently used by many public agencies. The ECCR developed in this process will be effective starting on or about April 16, 2024, and will be used for approximately three years with the option for annual two (2) one (1) year renewals to April 30 2029 with annual reviews and updates.
