  • Qualifications Based Selection the Short Story
    QUALIFICATIONS BASED SELECTION THE SHORT STORY ACEC California supports Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) as a policy and legal requirements for hiring professional engineering and land surveying services, consistent with federal and California law, as the best way to ensure that work is performed by qualified and competent professionals at a fair and reasonable price. Local agency procurement policies need to be cleaned up. There should be no exceptions for local agencies to consider cost when procuring professional services regardless of the type of contract, the schedule, or dollar amount of the contract. Two‐envelope system complies with QBS if you do not open the second envelope until after #1 is selected based solely on qualifications and then only as a basis to begin contract and cost negotiations with the #1 ranked firm. Oppose qualifications‐based bidding. Any inclusion of cost in the evaluation or selection of a professional destroys the intent and effectiveness of QBS. QBS includes all disciplines of ACEC member firms and any “certified” or “registered” professional. QBS applies to subcontractors at any level. Alternative delivery projects should comply with QBS to select all professional members of the teams that pursue a project. ACEC CA Policy Platform Qualifications Based Selection First Approved (Year) 1 American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) California Policy Platform Qualification Based Selection for Professional Engineers and Surveyors Approved by the QBS‐LAC Committee on December 5, 2013 (initial
