HCP_Current_County_Options_287.5_AC.pdf

This is a disclaimer map document for the Hodges Corporate Park (HCP) in Hodges, South Carolina, prepared by Greenwood County in conjunction with a professional engineering services solicitation. The map illustrates the current county options for a 287.50-acre development site composed of multiple tax parcels located at 4719-4721 Highway 25 North and three residential lots at 4601-4603-4605 Highway 25 North. Greenwood County is soliciting Qualification Statements from engineering firms to perform comprehensive planning, surveying, and environmental due diligence services, with potential future expansion into overall design services as the Engineer of Record. Required deliverables include Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, wetlands delineation, jurisdictional determination from the US Army Corps of Engineers, threatened and endangered species habitat assessment, archaeological and historical investigation, geotechnical assessment, master conceptual plan, and an ALTA/NSPS Survey. The question submission deadline is January 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and the proposal submission deadline is February 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with responses limited to 30 pages and submitted electronically through the Greenwood County e-Procurement Portal. The selected firm must commence work within fourteen days of receiving the notice to proceed and complete work according to an agreed-upon schedule.

Evaluation criteria prioritize firm qualifications (40%), project experience (25%), project schedule (20%), and site familiarity (15%). Insurance requirements include comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum $1,000,000 limits per person and per accident, workers' compensation insurance with statutory limits, and fleet liability insurance. The county requires selected firms to be located within a reasonable distance of the project to minimize travel costs and ensure timely response. No specific award value or budget range was provided; however, the project is being prepared for potential inclusion in the South Carolina Department of Commerce's 2026 Palmetto Sites Program. All generated data, materials, and documentation will be exclusively owned by Greenwood County and may be used for future projects at no additional cost. The county reserves the right to reject any or all qualification statements, cancel the solicitation, and terminate the agreement for convenience with payment only for reasonable work performed.
