Vertical Water & Wastewater Infra Projects GCCM - RFQ - DI
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
CITY OF KALISPELL
KALISPELL, MT
VERTICAL WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
General Notice
The City of Kalispell (Owner or City) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for
General Contractor Construction Manager (GCCM) roles (Respondent) for potential construction
of vertical water and wastewater infrastructure projects over the next five (5) years.
SOQs must be uploaded to QuestCDN by April 25, 2025, at 5:00 pm local time. After that
time, Owner will no longer accept SOQs related to this request.
The Respondent’s SOQ should demonstrate the ability to perform the following services:
• Preconstruction services, including cost estimating, constructability reviews, and value
engineering.
• Construction services for complex, time-sensitive projects that meet the City’s design
intent and project quality within budget.
The City intends to use a two-step GCCM selection process. In Step One, SOQs will be
evaluated on a pass/fail basis against established minimum qualifications. Respondents who meet
all minimum qualifications will be considered prequalified and will be invited to participate in
future Request for Proposals (RFP) processes, which will evaluate both qualifications and cost
proposals. The first such project will be the City’s Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant
Dewatering Improvements, to be released for RFP in May of 2025.
The City reserves the right to reject all SOQs not in compliance with all prescribed public
bidding procedures and requirements and may reject, for good cause, all SOQs upon the finding
that it is in the public interest to do so. The City reserves the right to waive all informalities if it
is deemed in the best interest of the public.
Owner anticipates a short list of GCCMs will be prequalified for future vertical water and
wastewater infrastructure projects. GCCMs deemed qualified may receive subsequent request for
proposals (RFPs) for Project preconstruction and construction services.
A full description of the request can be found on the city’s portal to QuestCDN. The City
reserves the right to advertise and solicit for qualifications and proposal for any project.
