ACEC Oregon Qualifications Based Selection Training

On January 1, 2012, HB 3316 will take affect and require Qualification Based Selection (QBS) for the procurement of engineers, architects, land surveyors, photogrammetrists, and transportation planners. This will be a change for many of your members as QBS was previously only required when certain thresholds were met. Now, HB 3316 requires QBS for all projects in Oregon.

　WHEN & WHERE

On Tuesday, January 24 at the Wilsonville Holiday Inn, an educational　forum will be held for local government procurement officials. All members of　your staff involved in the procurement of design professionals should consider attending to learn about the new law and how to　use QBS to ensure the best projects possible. The forum will be a half day and begin in the morning.　

ENDORSED BY

This forum will be sponsored by the American Public Works Association, American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon, AIA Oregon, and other groups supportive of QBS.
