Engineering Consulting firms for the provision of engineering services related to the design, and
the subsequent construction phase, of projects comprising the City of Surrey’s annual Engineering

Firms currently on Surrey’s list of Qualified Consultants, (refer to Schedule B), and those

in order to be considered.
The annual Capital Program has a typical value in the range of $100 million and includes roads
and transportation, water, sewer and drainage infrastructure, including environmental
assessments as applicable. Projects may include planning, feasibility and preliminary design
studies in all disciplines. Typical roads and transportation projects include urban arterial and
collector road widening, pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian/cycling pathways and sidewalks,
traffic signals, traffic calming installations, pedestrian bridges and overpasses, and roadway
bridges and overpasses. Typical water projects include water main installations and replacements
to 900mm diameter, pressure reducing valve stations, and water pump station upgrades and
installations in the range from 500 to 1800 total horsepower. Typical sewer projects include sewer
main installations and replacements to 1200mm diameter, and sewage pump station upgrades and
installations in the range from 8 to 1600 total horsepower. Typical drainage projects include area
master drainage plans, storm main and culvert installations and replacements, dyke and flood
control works, stream bank stabilization and conveyance works, fish ladders, detention ponds,
and storm water pump station upgrades and installations up to 6 cms capacity.
Interested firms must demonstrate their ability to achieve a high standard of quality in the
provision of engineering services to projects of similar nature, size, and complexity. SOQ’s should
include a Company profile, outline of staff resources, areas of expertise, project experience and
references, statement of WCB coverage, insurance coverage, City of Surrey Business License and
may include resumes of key personnel. Firms should indicate if they have a particular area of
expertise or project interest.

received at City of Surrey, Purchasing Department, Attention: Manager, Purchasing & Payments,

SOQ’s will be evaluated based on the Respondents’ qualifications and track record, recent
experience with similar infrastructure projects, demonstrated ability to complete projects within
the proposed schedule and budget, as well as any other factors the City deems to be relevant to
the project success.
Firms selected on the basis of their capabilities and performance will be added to Surrey’s list of
Qualified Consultants. Qualified Consultants will subsequently receive a list of the studies and
design assignments for the coming year and will be requested to rank these assignments in the
firm’s order of preference for receiving requests for submission of detailed proposals. These
responses will be used to select three firms for each project for invitation to submit detailed
proposals.
As the annual number of projects in any discipline is finite, not all qualified firms may receive
multiple, or any, invitations to submit detailed proposals.
