About this file
This is an Addendum No. 2 issued by the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department for Project No. PBCWUD 26-017, a General Utility, Architectural and Value Engineering Continuing Services contract. The addendum addresses two key questions regarding CCNA (County Certified Neutral Assessor) certification requirements for proposal submission. The document clarifies that firms may submit proposals if they have submitted CCNA applications but have not yet received confirmation of certification by the proposal due date, provided that full certification is obtained prior to the Final Selection Committee meeting. Similarly, firms that have submitted annual renewal applications for CCNA recertification may submit proposals without having received confirmation at the time of submission, as long as recertification is completed before the Final Selection Committee convenes. The addendum was issued on June 11, 2026, by Jane House, P.E., LEED AP, Director of Engineering.
The addendum does not address pricing terms, set asides, funding sources, or contract amounts. Instead, it focuses exclusively on clarifying administrative and certification requirements to ensure that prospective proposing firms understand the acceptable timeline and conditions for CCNA certification status. The document indicates that Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department maintains discretion in accepting Letters of Intent from firms at various stages of the certification process, provided that all certification requirements are finalized before the selection committee makes final determinations.

ADDENDUM NO. 2
PALM BEACH COUNTY WATER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
GENERAL UTILITY, ARCHITECTURAL AND VALUE
ENGINEERING CONTINUING SERVICES
Project No. PBCWUD 26-017
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1- Upon reviewing the PPM CW-O-048, it notes that firms are required to be CCNA certified by the RFP deadline. However, the second paragraph indicates that each department has the discretion to accept a LOI from a firm that has at minimum applied for CCNA certification.
I reached out to Holly Knight for clarification. She confirmed receipt of our CCNA application and acknowledged our interest in the WUD Continuing Services Contracts RFP, noting this may expedite the review. Yet, she emphasized that acceptance of the LOI remains at the discretion of each department.
Could you please confirm the acceptable status regarding the CCNA certification process for this RFP?
We want to ensure our compliance and approach align with your expectations.
For reference, the PPM states:
A1- It is acceptable for proposal firms that have submitted their CCNA applications but have not yet received a confirmation of the certification at the proposal due date, to submit their proposals. The certification must be obtained prior to the Final Selection Committee meeting.
Q2- While reviewing the county's CCNA Certification records on Palm Beach County's website, I noticed Reina Engineering is no longer listed. I have attached a copy of the certification list downloaded a few weeks ago which includes our firm. We spoke to Holly Knight regarding this issue, and she informed us that our certification does not expire but gets removed from the list if not renewed within 3 years. I have also attached a related conversation with Dierdre Kyle.
A2- It is acceptable for proposal firms that have submitted their CCNA annual renewal applications but have not yet received a confirmation of the recertification at the proposal due date, to submit their proposals. The recertification must be obtained prior to the Final Selection Committee meeting.
