Award Information

This award information document pertains to a Georgia state and local contract opportunity for engineering grant services administered through the state's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The contract was awarded to Hofstader & Associates for engineering preliminary design services and, if funded, for engineering services supporting the implementation of a potential FY2023 CDBG project focused on water, sewage, streets, and drainage improvements. The RFP solicited statements of qualifications and proposals from engineering firms with demonstrated experience assisting local governments in implementing CDBG programs. Responding firms were required to be technically qualified and licensed in Georgia. The draft Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was required no later than April 10, 2023, with provisions for Design and Construction Management Services upon project funding.

Prospective firms were required to submit comprehensive qualification documentation including firm history and resources, prior CDBG/EIP/RDF and other DCA grant program experience, key personnel qualifications, current workload information, proposed scope and level of service, experience with similar projects and references, fees and percentages for the PER and design and construction management services, and evidence of Errors and Omissions Insurance. Firms claiming Section 3 Business Concern status under the HUD Act of 1968 were encouraged to apply and submit the required Section 3 Certification Form with their proposals. The contract opportunity was open to Georgia-licensed engineering firms meeting the technical qualification requirements for grant implementation services.
