ASCE and ACEC-CA have teamed up to host a forum on qualifications based selection (QBS). How local, state and federal agencies procure professional services varies greatly. QBS is a process that affects how public agencies procure consultant services that ensures that the qualifications of a professional are considered before fees are negotiated for a contract.
The forum will allow for an open discussion to answer questions regarding QBS. The discussion will include a brief presentation on QBS, the law, and general procurement procedures that include QBS. Panelists will then answer questions from the moderator and the audience to dig deeper into what QBS is, why it is used, and how professional services related to engineering, land surveying, construction management, architecture, and environmental consulting are being procured.
