About ACEC/MA Partnering Committees

Partnering with Public Agencies
ACEC/MA partners with public agencies to streamline and improve project delivery and improve communication between the public agencies and the engineering and land surveying business community. Some of these agencies do not currently use Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS), so QBS procurement may be a focus of discussion with those agencies.
First, review the 'Job Descriptions" for these roles on this page: https://www.acecma.org/about/news/partnering-with-public-agencies-sign-up-by-7-12-24-3094
Partnering Chair or Co-Chair
and
Partnering Committee Member.

Then, if you can meet the requirements for these voluntary positions, sign up below to be considered for Partnering Committee service on one of these public agency committees:
-- DCR: MA Department of Conservation and Recreation
-- DCAMM: MA Division of Capital Asset Maintenance and Management
-- DEP: MA Department of Environmental Protection

-- RTAC: Regional Transportation Advisory Council of the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (RTAC of MPO) - 1 ACEC/MA seat, 1 alternate. This is not a partnering committee, but an opportunity to represent ACEC/MA.

Important: Only one person per ACEC/MA Member Firm will be appointed to a particular public agency partnering committee. ACEC/MA may call upon other firm leaders for input on particular issues, but please coordinate with your team, so that only 1 person from your firm signs up for a particular public agency partnering committee and does not sign up for another public agency partnering committee.
Example: You can have 1 person sign up for DCR and another person sign up for MBTA, but they have to be different people.
