Engineering Scoring Sheet

This is an Engineering Scoring Sheet used by the State of Georgia to evaluate architectural and engineering firms responding to an RFP for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Grant Services. The scoring instrument assesses qualified engineering firms licensed in Georgia that will provide preliminary design services for a potential FY2023 CDBG-funded project focused on water, sewage, streets, and drainage infrastructure. Respondents must submit statements of qualifications and proposals demonstrating strong experience assisting local governments with CDBG program implementation. The draft Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) is required no later than April 10, 2023. The RFP requests information including firm history and resources, CDBG/EIP/RDF experience, key personnel qualifications, current workload, scope of services proposed, references from similar projects, fees associated with preliminary engineering services and design/construction management services, and proof of Errors and Omissions insurance coverage.

The evaluation criteria consist of six factors scored on a zero to two-point scale: ability to provide necessary disciplines, firm experience with the construction type, key personnel experience, quality of references, prior CDBG project experience, and price competitiveness. Additional evaluation requirements include verification that the firm can meet the PER/PAR deadline and confirmation of current Errors and Omissions insurance. Responding firms must submit a Statement of Qualifications Form and are encouraged to include a Section 3 Certification Form if claiming Section 3 Business Concern status under HUD Act of 1968 requirements. The contract contemplates preliminary engineering services for the application phase with potential continuation for design and construction management services if the project receives CDBG funding.
