For Project 26-017, proposers must be certified in multiple CCNA categories including topography, soils and foundation, architectural, mechanical engineering (wastewater treatment and collection, water supply treatment and distribution), electrical, structural, environmental, and subsurface utility engineering. For Project 26-019, certifications are required in land surveying, topography, soils and foundation, mechanical engineering (wastewater collection and water distribution), electrical, structural, environmental, and subsurface utility engineering. Both contracts have a mandatory minimum 20 percent Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal, with up to 15 evaluation preference points awarded based on SBE dollar participation. Individual project construction costs are estimated not to exceed $7.75 million, with professional services fees capped at $500,000 per study.
