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 Fire Station 4 - (2) two Hot Water Boilers and Plate Heat Exchanger
- 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.
