The Town of Palm Beach is soliciting proposals through RFQ No. 2026-013 to procure Owner's Representative Services for Mid-Town Construction Projects, with the primary focus on oversight of the Mid-Town Seawall Replacement project and potential extension to three additional projects: Mid-Town Linear Park construction, Mid-Town Bathroom Renovation, and Mid-Town Paving and Infrastructure Improvements. The selected firm will serve as the Owner's technical and strategic representative overseeing a progressive design-build contractor responsible for replacing approximately 2,700 linear feet of a 100-year-old seawall along South Ocean Boulevard between Royal Palm Way and Gulfstream Road. Key services include reviewing design-build pricing to establish guaranteed maximum cost, conducting site inspections and testing, managing communications and public relations, overseeing survey and geotechnical assessments, providing project management and coordination, ensuring regulatory and permitting compliance, managing cost and schedule, optimizing design, engaging stakeholders, and performing quality assurance/quality control throughout the project lifecycle. Required qualifications include Licensed Professional Engineers specializing in marine, structural, and coastal engineering with demonstrated experience on large-scale seawall and bulkhead design projects, design-build project experience, and knowledge of regulatory permitting for marine construction. The evaluation committee will assess proposals based on six weighted criteria: Experience of Firm (20 points), Experience/Ability of Personnel (30 points), Approach (15 points), Similar Completed Projects (20 points), Workload and Scheduling (10 points), and Financial Information (5 points); award shall be made to the proposer offering the best value to the Town. Proposals are due February 27, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for February 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST via Microsoft Teams, and proposers must submit a Letter of Intent, detailed firm experience information, subcontractor qualifications, key personnel resumes with certifications, relevant municipal project references, one year of audited or reviewed financial statements, insurance evidence, litigation disclosure, and current contract values.
There are no identified set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions specifically outlined in the solicitation documents. However, the Town has established compliance requirements that apply universally to all prospective respondents, including E-Verify employment authorization verification, drug-free workplace certification, conflicts of interest disclosure, scrutinized company certification confirming non-participation in boycotts of Israel and no activities in Sudan, Iran petroleum energy sector, Cuba, or Syria, foreign entity and human trafficking compliance affidavits, and professional liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence plus additional coverage requirements for comprehensive general liability, business auto liability, and workers' compensation. All proposers must hold a County and/or Municipal Tax Receipt (Occupational License) in their fixed business location area and must register with the E-Verify System to verify employment eligibility of all newly hired workers. The selected firm for Owner's Representative services will be ineligible to bid on the concurrent Mid-Town Seawall Replacement Progressive Design-Build Project (RFQ No. 2026-012) to prevent conflicts of interest, and no minimum amount of work or compensation is guaranteed to the retained consultant. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available materials.
