A&E Services, Wastewater, Lagoon & Dump Station

The South Dakota Office of the State Engineer, acting on behalf of the Department of Game, Fish and Parks, is seeking professional architectural and engineering (A&E) services for a wastewater infrastructure project located in Edmunds County. The procurement is a Statement of Interest (SOI) solicitation focused on professional design services for adding a septic lagoon cell and expanding two existing dump stations. Interested firms must submit comprehensive SOI documents by 3:00 PM Mountain Time on August 15, 2022, demonstrating their specialized expertise, capabilities, experience, and project management techniques. The technical review committee will evaluate submissions based on the firm's past performance, ability to handle project constraints, and overall qualifications. The project has an estimated construction budget of $950,000, with a fiscally responsible schedule to be determined after firm selection. Respondents must provide detailed documentation outlining their approach to the project, including specialized competencies relevant to wastewater and dump station infrastructure design.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The SOI does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specify limitations on which types of organizations can respond. Additionally, no incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the available materials. The construction budget of $950,000 represents the current estimated project value, though the document notes this amount is subject to change. The procurement appears to be an open competition for professional design services, with selection based primarily on technical merits and the firm's demonstrated capabilities in similar infrastructure projects. While funding sources were not detailed, the involvement of the State Engineer's Office and the Department of Game, Fish and Parks suggests this is a state-funded infrastructure improvement initiative.
