Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) for Design Professionals

Cities and towns make significant investments in all types of capital projects every year. Municipal officials responsible for procurement are interested in hiring the firm with the best approach or qualifications, but often the low bidder is chosen instead.

Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) is a process which provides a fair and rational procedure enabling municipalities to obtain the services of qualified architects, engineers and land surveyors based on professional qualifications at a fair and reasonable cost.

Come learn more about the QBS process and approach to retaining design professionals and learn more about the advantages to municipalities of using the QBS process.

Members of New Hampshire's QBS Coalition (NHQBS), sponsored by six of the leading professional associations who represent architects, engineers and land surveyors in New Hampshire, will lead the presentation and discussion, including Bill Straub, P.E., co-chair of the NHQBS Coalitions, and Nick Cricenti, P.E., also a NHQBS board member.

This webinar is open to members of the New Hampshire Municipal Association.
