RFP Score Sheet _ Engineer Selection_Waycross.pdf

This is a Qualification Evaluation Form for the City of Waycross, Georgia, for the selection of an engineering firm to provide pre- and post-award services for community and economic development projects. The City of Waycross seeks an engineer or engineering firm to perform preliminary engineering reports, planning, design, cost estimating, bidding, contracting, construction oversight, quality control, and project closeout services. Projects focus on public infrastructure improvements including water, sewer, street paving, and drainage systems. The selection process is qualifications-based, and selected firms may be engaged to provide engineering services for multiple future community and economic development projects for a limited time period contingent on grant funding availability.

The evaluation scoring uses a four-point scale (Poor=1, Fair=2, Good=3, Excellent=4) across six criterion: the firm's ability to supply all major disciplines necessary; experience with this type of construction; knowledge of the community; staff expertise; experience with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects; and cost competitiveness. The form requires verification that the firm can meet preliminary engineering report deadlines and carries Errors and Omissions insurance. Anticipated funding sources include CDBG Annual Competition, CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), Employee Incentive Program (EIP), Redevelopment Fund (RDF), and Immediate Threat and Danger (ITAD) funds through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. All contracts are subject to federal and state provisions prescribed by the Georgia DCA, and the contract is designated as a Section 3 Covered Contract under the HUD Act of 1968, with Section 3 Business Concerns encouraged to apply. The City of Waycross is committed to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing.
