Selecting a Professional Consultant An InfraGuide Best Practice Developed by the public sector – for the public sector Based on extensive interviews and research Recommends “competitive qualifications-based process” (QBS) FIDIC Resources

How does the Best Practice work? Focus on understanding client’s needs Proposals ranked based on providing service and achieving objectives A detailed scope is established with preferred proponent Appropriate fees and schedule are negotiated FIDIC Resources

Best Practice is good policy Competitive and transparent process Focus on merit, quality and long-term value Long-term savings realized over decades Encourages in-house expertise to represent the client’s (and taxpayer’s) interests Permits innovation and sustainability Allows creative risk management options FIDIC Resources

What’s in it for the client? The right team for the right job Realistic schedules and budgets Fewer change orders and disputes Better business relationship between parties Better service, better quality & better value for taxpayers FIDIC Resources

Who uses this approach? QBS legislated by the US federal government and 44 state governments Municipalities across the US City of Calgary and the City of London Quebec legislation requires its ministries and agencies to use QBS for architectural and engineering services. FIDIC Resources

QBS works (APWA Study 2009) Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Colorado reviewed over 200 projects across the USA 93% of clients expressed high or very high satisfaction with consultants selected using QBS QBS reduced construction cost growth by 70% QBS reduced schedule slippage by 20% QBS provided better ability to address societal issues or stakeholder concerns FIDIC Resources
