In light of our vision to recognize and place the engineering consulting industry as the key delivery driver of the current and ongoing infrasructure revolution and transformation occurring in Los Angeles, our goals for the 2018-2019 year were to strengthen our position as a trusted industry advisor and go-to organization for legislative issues and to influence and support the sustainability and relevancy of ACEC through increased participation by diverse and young professionals. We achieved these goals through strengthened engagement and outreach with local government agencies, member firms and the public, which resulted in increased participation in active ACEC-LA liaison committees, collaboration with Metro’s public procurement process, promotion of member firms in theLA Business Journal, continued leadership in industry best practices for engineering consulting with the ports and cities throughout Los Angeles County and increased social media followers and meeting attendance by a diverse next generation of engineers.

  • 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
