Douglas CDBG_DR RFP Addendum _1.pdf

This is an Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposals issued by the City of Douglas, Georgia for CDBG-DR Engineering Services. The City is soliciting qualifications and proposals from engineering firms to provide pre- and post-award services for Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) projects. The scope of services includes preparing preliminary engineering reports, planning, design, cost estimating, bidding, contracting, construction oversight, quality control, and project closeout. Projects address critical public infrastructure improvements including water, sewer, street paving, and drainage systems. The engineering services will support the City's applications for federal and state CDBG-DR funding through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. Selection of an engineer may provide opportunities for the firm to deliver pre- and post-award engineering services for future community and economic development projects for a limited time period, contingent upon grant funding.

Addendum #1 clarifies that Build America Buy America (BABA) documentation and certification requirements are not required for this project, will not be evaluated as part of the proposal selection, and should not be included in any submitted fees or pricing. This represents a modification to the original RFP, which had indicated that maintaining BABA documentation and manufacturer certifications during construction would be a basic service requirement. All contracts are subject to federal and state provisions prescribed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
