IV. SPECIAL SERVICES FOR CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS
Special services that may be provided by the Civil
Engineer could include:
 Geotechnical Engineering-including test boring,
sampling and analysis, and recommendations.
 Engineering and topographic surveys for design and
construction.
 Mill, shop, or laboratory inspections of the materials
and equipment.
 Additional copies of reports, construction, drawings,
specifications, and other documents.
 Extra travel and subsistence as defined by the
agreement for engineering services.
 Value Engineering - including review of the work of
other engineers, either within the same organization
or in other firms.
 Preparation of environmental assessment and impact
statements and other assistance to the client in
connection with public hearings.
 Preparation of detailed applications and supporting
documents grants or advances for public works
projects.
 Engineering and topographic surveys for design and
construction.
V. ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES
The engineering support services in general civil
engineering practice may involve drafting, land and
construction surveying, and other data gathering activities
for specialized purposes.
Since soundness of any engineering decision is dependent
upon the accuracy and suitability of data obtained in field
and laboratory investigations these supporting services
must be under the guidance of the Civil Engineer whose
decisions will be based upon those data.
VI. Academic Services
Academic services may include:
a. Teaching of civil engineering courses in engineering
colleges/universities on part/full time basis
b. Lecturing in civil engineering courses designed by the
Philippine institute of Civil Engineers for practicing
engineers who want to obtain CPD credits.
c. Conducting tutorials/refresher courses on civil
engineering concept and related subject.
d. Serving a Resource Speaker in Technical Session.
e. Writing technical articles and pamphlets.
VII. Services as Employee
This is a condition when a Civil Engineer engages to
perform work or fulfill duties regularly for wages or salary
being paid by an employer.
A Civil Engineer may be employed for any position or
function in any commercial or institutional organization.
Where he is performing civil engineering functions, he is
required to follow the code of ethics for Civil Engineers and
comply with the standards and guidelines of this manual.
A licensed Civil Engineer may not allow his licensed to be
used by the company that employs him without the proper
agreement for his professional services. Where the firm he
is working for uses his license to sign and seal the plans,
specifications and contract document, the Civil Engineer
much charge the professional fee for said services.
A Civil Engineer in part time employment with a firm is
considered to be an employee and at the same time a
consultant of the firm.
Any Civil Engineer employed as an individual consultant of
any firm is required to comply with the requirements and
the standards herein established for a consulting Civil
Engineering firm or consulting Civil Engineer.

The Selection of the Civil Engineer
The selection and engagement of a Civil Engineer is one
of the most important decisions to be made during the
development of an engineering project. No two Civil
Engineers have the same training, experience,
capabilities, personnel, workloads, and particular abilities.
Selection of the most qualified Civil Engineer for a
specified project will result in a well-planned and designed,
economical, and successful project.
Basis for Selection:
The client should establish administrative policy and
criteria for selecting Civil Engineer for a particular project.
Factors to be considered in the selection process
1. The professional and ethical reputation of the Civil
Engineer and his staff as determined by inquiries to
previous clients and other references.
2. Responsible Civil Engineers and its employees and
must be registered professional Civil Engineers.
3. Civil Engineers should have demonstrated qualifications
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 service.
Client’s Selection Committee
 Established administrative policy for the
authorized personnel
 Person/s appointed should be familiar with the
project requirements
 Composed of at least 3 individuals
 For public projects, choose who demonstrate
objectivity
 They will be held responsible for making the
recommendation/selection
SANTOS
Qualification-Based Selection (QBS) Procedure
1. By invitation or public notice, state the general nature of
the project, the services required and request statement of
qualifications and experience from Civil Engineers who
appear to be capable of meeting the project requirements.
 Request for Qualification (RFQ)
 Request for Proposal (RFP)
2. Prepared a budget for the staff time and costs that can
be expected from potential Civil Engineer prior to receipt of
the RFQ’s and RFP’s.
3. Evaluation of the statements of qualifications received
and selection of at least three (3) Civil Engineers or firms
that may appear to be best qualified for the specific project.
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.
5. On receipt of the proposals, invite the Civil Engineers
or firms to meet individually with the selection committee
for interviews and discussion of the desired results of the
project and the engineering services required.
6. Check with recent clients of each Civil Engineer or firm
to determine the quality of their performance.
7. List the Civil Engineer or firms in the order of preference
taking into account the factors pertinent 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 evaluated on the basis of the client’s experience
and budget estimate.
10. If satisfactory agreement is not reached with the first selection, the selected Civil Engineer’s second will be
Civil Engineer, the negotiations should be terminated and opened as basis for negotiation of contractual scope and
the Civil Engineer or firm be notified in writing to that effect. fees.
All such negotiations should be on a strictly confidential
basis.
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.

Selection Procedure for “Level of Effort” Contracts

A ‘level of effort’ type of contract for engineering services
is a contract procedure used to supplement a client staff,
either by providing an extension to existing disciplines and
capabilities already on board or by adding special
disciplines not available on the client’s staff.

A. Bidding
Reasons why bidding for consulting Civil Engineering
Services often produces unsatisfactory results for client:
1. Bidding does not recognize professional judgment,
which is the key difference between professional services
and the furnishing of products.
2. It is virtually impossible to completely detail in advance
the scope of services required for an engineering project
especially for the study and preliminary phase, without
lengthy discussions and negotiations with the selected
firm.
3. In-depth studies and analysis by the consulting Civil
Engineer are not likely to be performed.
4. The consulting Civil Engineer’s ability to be flexible and
creative in meeting the client’s requirements is severely
limited.
5. The engineering designs are likely to be minimal in
completeness with the details left to the contractor.

B. Two-Envelope System
Involves submission of a technical proposal in one
envelope and a price proposal in a second envelope.
The client then will evaluate the technical proposals and
selects the best qualified Civil Engineer based on that
consulting Civil Engineer’s technical proposal. Upon
