REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

ENGINEERING AND/OR ARCHITECTURAL GRANT SERVICES

Date: 10/31/2023

Statements of qualifications and proposals are being requested from Engineering firms with a strong record in successfully assisting local governments with the implementation of DCA Equity Grant programs. Responding firms should be technically qualified and licensed in the State of Georgia to provide these services.

Plans are to contract within a year from the date of this notice, with a reputable consulting firm for engineering and design services for Federally Funded Projects related to community and economic development. This procurement could include Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Redevelopment Fund Projects (RDF), Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) Projects, Employment Incentive Program (EIP), Economic Development Administrations (EDA) Projects, Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Projects, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Projects, and any other federally funded project in Compliance with 2 CFR 200 for Procurement. This procurement action may also lead to additional project contracts and/or contract addendums for engineering, design and other related services for State and Federally funded projects. This is not a request for a retainer of services. Immediate plans call for services to assist with the preparation and administration of a 2024 MCCDA Equity Grant related to public infrastructure improvements, including but not limited to, water system improvements, sewer system improvements, and drainage improvements. All firms submitting will be reconsidered, on a project-by-project basis, should future state and federally funded opportunities arise within the next 2-3 year period.

Information which should be submitted for our evaluation is as follows:

1) History of firm and resources

2) CDBG/EIP/RDF experience, including other DCA grant programs

3) Key personnel/qualifications

4) Current workload

5) Scope and level of service proposed

6) Experience with similar projects and list of references

7) Fees and/or Percentages (if any) associated with the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for the application, and Design and Construction Management Services, if the project is funded.

8) Errors and Omissions Insurance

9) Statement of Qualifications Form

All contracts are subject to Federal and State contract provisions prescribed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.

Interested parties should request copies of the Statement of Qualifications Form prior to preparing and submitting their proposal. Proposals should be received no later than 5:00 PM on December 11, 2023. Proposals received after the above date and time may not be considered.
