On May 2, 2023, ACEC/MA QBS Committee Co-Chairs Maureen Chlebek and Erik Atkins organized a panel presentation on the value of Qualifications Based Selection for MassDOT's 2023 Innovation Conference: ACEC Panel: Getting the Most Bang for your Engineering Bucks

In this packed panel session, the panel delved into the benefits of using Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) for procuring Architectural and Engineering (A&E) services, focusing on maximizing the long-term benefits of public projects. Our expert panelists discussed the QBS procurement process, its legal mandate, and how it emphasizes experience and technical expertise over the lowest cost. Drawing from a recent ACEC study, the audience learned how to optimize engineering procurement and make informed decisions that can significantly impact the construction and life cycle costs of public projects.
