Procurement Process
Valley Water plans a dual-stage selection procedure for the DBFOM public-private-partnership (P3) project delivery method consisting of:
- Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) as part of determination of eligibility and qualification
- Request for Proposals (“RFP”) wherein shortlisted Respondents will be invited to submit proposals for the Agreement
Prior to issuing the RFQ, a two-part informational meeting will be held as part of Industry Day to provide an overview of the procurement process and to discuss the technical background of the project.
