QBS - Professional Services

Professional Engineering services are typically needed in the development and implementation of capital improvement projects. Since many capital projects include Federal funding, professional engineering services follow the typical Federal project phases, described as Phase I (Preliminary Engineering), Phase II (Final Engineering:  Plans, Specifications & Estimates), or Phase III Engineering (Construction Engineering).

The Menard County Highway Department Qualifications Base Selection (QBS) of Transportation Professional Services Procurement Process describes how firms are selected to provide such work.  MCHD believes their adopted QBS written policies and procedures substantially follows Section 5-5 of the BLRS Manual and specifically Section 5-5.06(e), therefore; approval from IDOT is not required.  Consultants will be required to submit SOIs and proposals via menardhwy1@sbcglobal.net.

The QBS process is conducted by the Menard County Board through the County Engineer for the procurement, management, and administration of consultant services.
