AI overview

The City of Denton (the City), through its utility Denton Municipal Electric (DME), is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for joint use services. The selected firm will manage all aspects of third-party pole attachments on the City's electric distribution system. Services include application review, structural engineering analysis, make-ready design, permitting, construction inspection and closeout, and invoicing applicants directly. The firm must have a minimum of three years of experience providing pole attachment and engineering services. The work is expected to be available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, but does not require dedicated on-site staff at DME. The awarded firm will enter into a professional services agreement with unit pricing for defined tasks. The City encourages innovative approaches and will consider non-conforming responses.

Key dates for this solicitation are as follows: The RFQ was issued on September 11, 2026. A virtual pre-solicitation conference will be held on September 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM CT via Microsoft Teams. Questions must be submitted via IONWAVE by October 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM CT. Proposals are due no later than October 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT. Submissions are accepted only through IONWAVE or hard copy delivered to the City's address; email submissions are not allowed. The City highly recommends early submission to avoid system delays.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the firm's qualifications, experience, and proposed approach. Professional Engineer (PE) licensure or supervision under a PE will receive additional consideration during evaluation. The selected firm will be responsible for managing the invoicing process with applicants using their own financial systems. Mileage, travel, and field equipment costs should be included in the agreed-upon unit pricing, not billed separately. The performance standard for on-time delivery will be measured per application, with a target of 95% on-time delivery. No liquidated damages have been specified for this contract. The awarded contract will be for an initial term with options for renewal, as detailed in the solicitation documents.
