The SOQ is due is due at the Office of the City Clerk of Torrance, California, at 3:00 p.m. on DATE.
- Bidders that are prequalified will be notified and may submit Technical Proposals that describe the bidders proposed approach to performing the work. Technical Proposals will be evaluated and scored by the City.
- The five top-scoring firms will then be requested to submit price proposals based on their previously submitted technical approach. The City of Torrance will then select the winning bidder on price proposals provided.
Bidders may consist of one or more firms that together contain the qualifications required to perform the work.
