RFP Score Sheet _ Engineer Selection_HUD.pdf

This is a Qualification Evaluation Form for Engineer Selection for the City of Blackshear in connection with a U.S. HUD Community Project Funding Grant (B-24-CP-GA-0679). The City of Blackshear, Georgia is requesting qualifications and proposals from State of Georgia licensed engineering firms to provide post-award services for a railroad and road construction project. The project scope includes planning, design, cost estimating, bidding, contracting, construction oversight, quality control, and project closeout for the construction of a new railroad crossing and road, as well as the closing of an existing railroad crossing. Post-award services also require the selected engineering firm to obtain and maintain American Iron and Steel (AIS) and Build America Buy America (BABA) documentation, including manufacturers certifications, throughout the construction phase and transfer these materials to the grant recipient upon project completion.

The engineer selection will be evaluated based on a five-criterion scoring system using a four-point scale (Poor=1, Fair=2, Good=3, Excellent=4). The evaluation criteria include the firm's ability to supply all major disciplines necessary to perform the work, experience with this type of construction, knowledge of the community, staff expertise, and prior experience with Federal Grants Projects. All engineering contracts are subject to Federal and State contract provisions prescribed by U.S. HUD. The selection of an engineer will be based on qualifications as they relate to community and economic development needs. The project is funded through the U.S. HUD Community Project Funding Grant, with all work subject to Federal and State compliance requirements.
