Background

The Georgetown Electric Utility Department offers a range of services to the residents and businesses of Georgetown, including the provision of purchased power, distribution, metering, street lighting, and security lighting. The department acquires wholesale power from Santee

Cooper and the Southeastern Power Administration, which is subsequently distributed to customers through a 12,470-volt distribution system. This system comprises eight circuits originating from two substations: Georgetown and Maryville.

Purpose

The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to seek statements of qualification from electrical and distribution engineering consultants to create a shortlist of highly qualified firms for the relocation of the electrical equipment on Black River Road. The RFQ selection will lead to a

Request for Proposal (RFP) from top three (3) engineering firms. The words engineer, consultant, or consulting firm are meant to be synonymous with this RFQ.

Project Description

The Department of Transportation is in the process of widening the road to enhance access to the hospital entrance. Due to the presence of electrical equipment, including power lines and poles, within the right-of-way managed by the City of Georgetown, it will be necessary to relocate these utilities as part of this project.

Site Visit

Please refer to the exhibit map for the project's location, which will be provided to the selected consultant at a later date.

The site is situated at the 500-600 block of Black River Rd, Georgetown, South Carolina 29440.

For arrangements regarding a site visit, please contact Ryan Courtemanche, the Electric

Department Director, at 843-545-4600. Our standard business hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00

PM.

While a site visit is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged prior to submitting a proposal. Failure to visit the site shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to their bid.

Scope of Services

The selected firm(s) may be required to deliver the following services:

The engineering consultant is expected to develop comprehensive plans and provide detailed locations for the electrical infrastructure along the Black River Road. This includes identifying power line poles and any associated equipment mounted on those poles.

Safety and Environmental Concerns

Understanding the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) is essential for anyone working in the electric utility sector. This standard outlines the crucial rules and guidelines for the installation, operation, and maintenance of electric supply and communication lines, safeguarding both utility workers and the public. Professionals in the field should be well-versed in the NESC, as it impacts every aspect of an electric utility system, from design to construction, operation, and maintenance.

By being knowledgeable about these regulations, they can ensure compliance with public power safety standards and contribute to economically viable practices. It's important for individuals to

Page 5 of 15 _______ Initials actively engage in the revision process and provide valuable feedback, as this helps maintain the integrity and safety of public power systems.

Capital Improvement Plan

The consultant shall prepare a 10-year CIP in order of priority with cost estimates prorated for inflation.

Final Conclusions and Recommendations

Provide all necessary conclusions and recommendations in this section.

The city will:

1. Cooperate with the consultant on a timely basis.

2. Provide the appropriate record drawings and information.

3. Review the consultant's draft submittals in a timely fashion.

4. Pay for all services rendered based on a percentage of work completed at the end of the month.

Process

The City will conduct the selection of qualified Engineering Consultant in the following manner:

1. The RFQ and Qualification Form documents will be available on our website.

Qualification will be received and evaluated as described in this RFQ.

2. The best qualified, responsible, and responsive Engineering Consultant will be presented to the City Administrator for approval, as required.

3. After the Administrator's approval, the City will issue an Intent to Award Notice.

4. The Submittal Listing of Qualification received will be published on the City’s website within forty-eight (48) hours of opening. Click here for a direct link.

Evaluation Criteria

The selection of the consultant is based on professional qualifications and competitive fees. Fee proposals may be subject to negotiation for fair and reasonable compensation.

All qualifications will be reviewed for purposes of determining professional qualifications, experience, project understanding, responsiveness and responsibility. The submission of a qualification for review does not necessarily qualify the proposer or proposal as being responsive or responsible. Failure to provide specific information, as requested, for use in the evaluation will cause your qualification to be non- responsive.

The Project Review Committee (PRC), consisting of members appointed by the City Administrator or his/her designee will review and independently score the qualifications submitted by all firms.

In its review, the PRC will consider all elements of the RFQ. Firms shall be ranked from the most highly qualified to least qualified based on the information provided by each firm and the evaluation criteria. The RFQ selection process will result in a Request for Proposals (RFP) being issued to the top three (3) firms.
