The Bi-State Development Agency is seeking Letters of Interest and Qualifications for design services to assist in implementing the signage system throughout 18 existing MetroLink stations and in updating selected signs at the Wellston Station.

The signage system criteria is documented in the "Signs of the System" guidebook, which sets the Agency's design standards for system signs. The signage system presents a well-designed, cohesive look that integrates well with the MetroLink station architecture and the communities in which the stations are located. Qualifications will be evaluated based on the following criteria, listed in order of importance: 1. Design excellence as evidenced by quality of past work. 2. Demonstrated experience in implementing Wayfinding systems. 3. Demonstrated experience in oversight of fabrication/installation. 4. Experience of key personnel assigned to this project. 5. Experience with transit and transit related projects. Selection of the successful firm will be made based on the Brooks Act. The Brooks Act requires that an offeror's qualifications be evaluated; price to be excluded as an evaluation factor; negotiations to be conducted with only the most qualified offeror; and failing agreement on price, negotiations with the next most qualified offeror are conducted until a contract award can be made to the most qualified offeror whose price is fair and reasonable. Award of this project will result in a firm fixed price contract. Firms replying to the request for qualifications are to submit SF-254, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire and SF-255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Projects in original and five copies, as well as other submission requirements. - Posted 08/17/00 (W-SN487407).
