The City of Canton, Ohio (the Owner or the City) wishes to use the services of a company experienced with the
design-build delivery model for its proposed Civic Center Steam Coils (8 - 10) - ARPA Project (the Project). As
required by Ohio Revised Code Sections 153.65 et seq., the Owner requests statements of qualifications (SOQs)
from Design-Build firms (DBs) to provide Design-Build services for the Project. This Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) includes criteria that will be used to evaluate the submitted qualifications to develop the short-list of firms.
In the second phase of the selection process, a Request for Proposals will be issued to the short-listed firms.
The short-listed firms will be asked to provide both pricing and technical proposals, which will be reviewed and
evaluated to determine the Design-Build firm that will provide the best value to the Owner for the Project. The
short-listed firms may also be asked to provide a proposal bond, guaranteeing their willingness to execute the
contract form provided with the Request for Proposals.
