Questions
About qualifications packages.
What is the difference between an RFQ and an RFP?
A request for qualifications asks firms to show experience, team and capability, usually to build a shortlist. A request for proposals asks for a specific approach and often a price. On federal two-phase design-build, price is not evaluated in phase one.
Does RFQ always mean request for qualifications?
No. RFQ can also mean request for quotation, which asks for a price on a defined scope. We read the solicitation to confirm which one you have before scoping the work.
What do you need from us?
The solicitation, your approved project list, references, resumes and any safety or financial information you choose to include. Your team approves every fact and signs any certification.
