About this file
This document outlines the evaluation factors for the Town of Palm Beach's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2026-013 to select an Owner's Representative to provide professional engineering services and oversight for the Mid-Town Seawall Replacement project, with potential extension to additional projects including the Mid-Town Linear Park construction, Mid-Town Bathroom Renovation, and Mid-Town Paving and Infrastructure Improvements. The selected firm will be responsible for reviewing design-build contractor pricing, conducting site inspections and testing, managing communications and public relations, overseeing survey and geotechnical assessments, and providing expert guidance to ensure smooth project execution for this critical Town asset providing storm protection. A non-mandatory pre-proposal virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams will be offered to allow proposers to seek clarification directly from Town staff. Proposers may not withdraw their proposals for one hundred eighty days from the opening date, and award will be made to the proposer offering the best value to the Town.
The evaluation criteria are weighted across five categories: Experience of Firm (20 points), Experience/Ability of Personnel (30 points), Approach (15 points), Similar Completed Projects (20 points), Workload and Scheduling (10 points), and Financial Information (5 points). Proposers must submit a Letter of Intent, detailed information regarding years of experience in engineering services and the Owner's Representative role, subcontractor qualifications and certifications, key personnel resumes with relevant certifications, and references to relevant municipal projects in Florida. Personnel requirements include Licensed Professional Engineers specializing in marine, structural, and coastal engineering with demonstrated experience on large-scale seawall and bulkhead design projects, design-build experience, and knowledge of regulatory permitting for marine construction. Financial submission requirements include one year of audited or reviewed financial statements from a CPA, insurance evidence, litigation disclosure, and current contract values; the Town reserves the right to request Dun & Bradstreet reports from finalists. The selected firm will be ineligible for award of the concurrent Mid-Town Seawall Replacement Progressive Design-Build Project RFQ No. 2026-012.
