THE SELECTION OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER


The selection and engagement of a civil engineer is one the most important
decisions to be made during the development of an engineering project .No two civil
engineers have the same trainings, experience , capabilities ,personnel, workloads, and
particular capabilities. Selection of the most qualified civil engineer for a specific project
will result in a well planned and designed, economical and successful project.

BASES FOR THE SELECTION

The client should established administrative policy and criteria for the selection
of qualified civil engineers for the particular project. The client’s first step is to define the
proposed scope of the project. In some cases, this may be a general statement of the
performance requirements of the project. At the other times, the task to be performed
maybe individually identified and defined. By clearly defining the services which the civil
engineer is to furnish. The client can accurately judge whether or not the civil engineer is
the best equipped to provide them.
Some of the factors that should be considered in the selection process are:
1. The professional and ethical reputation of the civil engineers and his staff as
determined by inquiries to previous clients and other references.
2. Responsible civil engineers and its employee and must be registered
professional civil engineers
3. Civil engineers should have demonstrated qualification and expertise, performing
the services required for the project.
4. Civil engineer should be able to assign qualified engineering staff who will be in
responsible charge of the project and will be able to provide and complete the
required services within the time allotted
5. The civil engineer should have the necessary financial and business resources to
accomplish the assignment and provide continuing services.
The selection procedure in this manual apply to projects of private sector. For
government projects, E.O. 164 and PD 1594 as amended apply to procurement of
consulting services and selection of contractor for construction, respectively.
CLIENT’S SELECTION COMMITTEE

Within the client’s organization there should be an established administrative


policy for designating the persons authorized to select or recommend selection of civil
engineers for specific assignment. the person appointed should be familiar with the
project requirements and should be kept free of internal or external pressure during the
selection process.
One satisfactory procedures is to utilize a selection committee of three or more
individuals at least one of whom is a professional engineer of the appropriate discipline.
For public projects, the client must choose individuals who demonstrate objectivity in
order to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest in the selection of the Civil
Engineer. At least one of the individuals should be thoroughly familiar with the civil
engineering practices. The committee is responsible for making recommendations after
conducting appropriate investigation interviews, and inquiries. The final selection is then
based upon the selection committee’s recommendations.

QUALIFICATION –BASED SELECTION (QBS) PROCEDURE

When selection procedure is considerably enhanced when the client is fully


familiar with the purposed project, can describe the project in detail, and can prepare a
project scope and outline of services expected of the civil engineer. In some cases the
client may not have professional staff available to define the project scope and describe
the required services. The client should still be familiar enough with the project
requirements to understand what is expected of the civil engineer. The selection
procedure, however, can be modified to suit the circumstances.

The client’s usual steps in the selection procedure are presented below. If the
client has satisfactory experience with one or more civil engineers, it may not be
necessary to follow all of the steps outlined.

1. By invitation or by public notice, state the general nature of the project, the
services required, and request statements of qualification and experience from
Civil Engineers who appear to be capable of meeting the project requirements.
The client may issue a “Request for qualification ”(RFQ) or “Request for
qualification” (RFP). RFQs are normally used to ascertain the general
qualification in a selected area pf expertise while RFPs are used to seek Civil
Engineers for creating “Short lists” for selecting a Civil Engineer for a specific
project.
2. Prepare a budget for the staff time and cost that can be expected from potential
Civil Engineer prior to receipt of RFQs or RFPs
3. Evaluate the statements of qualifications received. Select at least three civil
engineers or forms that may appear to be best qualified for the specific project. It
should be noted that often more than three civil engineers or firms may appear to
be equally qualified – in which case more civil engineers or firms be considered.
However, in fairness to those not selected it is usually best to make a
conscientious effort to keep the number selected for further consideration for
realistic minimum in view of the cost and time required to prepare competent
proposals.
4. Write a letter to each civil engineer or selected for further consideration
describing the proposed project in detail, including a project scope and outline of
services required, and asking for a proposal describing in detail the civil
engineer’s plan for managing and performing the required services, the
personnel to be assigned, the proposed schedule, experience with similar
projects, office location in which services are to be performed, financial standing,
present workload, and reference. Each Civil Engineer or firm should have an
opportunity to visit the site, review all pertinent data and obtain clarification of any
items as required. For major or complex clarification of any items as required. For
major or complex project a pre-proposal conference may be desirable to explain
details of the proposed scope of services and to answer questions.
5. On receipt of proposals, invite the civil engineers or firms to meet individually with
the selection committee for interviews and discussions of the desired end results
of the project and engineering services required. These interviews may be held
at the civil engineer’s office. The client may consider supplementing the selection
committee with personnel who have specialized experience to advice the
committee, when appropriate. During each interview the selection committee
should review the qualifications an experience of each civil engineer or firm, the
capability to provide the services within the time allotted, and the key personnel
to be assigned to the project.
6. Check with recent clients of each Civil engineer or firm to determine the quality of
their performance. This check need not be limited to references listed by civil
engineer.
7. List the Civil Engineer or firms in the order of preference taking into account their
approach and understanding of the project, reputation, experience, financial
standing, size personnel available, quality of references, workloads, location, and
other factors pertinent to the to the project being considered.
8. Invite the civil engineer considered to be best qualified to develop a detailed
scope. List of deliverables and schedule, and to negotiate fair compensation for
the services.
9. The compensation proposed by the civil engineer should be evaluated on the
basis of the clients experience and budget estimate, taking account of the range
of charges reported in section 4 herein; giving consideration to the project’s
special characteristics and the scope of services agreed upon. Fair and
reasonable compensation to the civil engineer is vital to the success of the
project since it will enable the consultant’s expertise to be fully utilized.
10. If satisfactory agreement is not reached with the first civil engineer, the
negotiations should be terminated and the civil engineer or firm be notified in
writing to that effect. Similar negotiations should then be held with the third civil
engineer or firm and if, necessary, with the third civil engineer or firm. If no
accord is reached, the client should seek outside assistance before continuing
with the selection process. Such a procedure with usually result in development
of a satisfactory contract. All such negotiations should be on a strictly confidential
basis, and in no case should the compensation discussed with one civil engineer
be disclosed to another.
11. When agreement has been reached on scope, schedule and compensation, the
client and selected civil engineer should formalize their agreement in a written
contract.
