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 West Park Bike Park 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.
