Cdbg i construction grant

The Town of Mount Olive has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering services related to two North Carolina Community Development Block Grant - Infrastructure (NC CDBG-I) awards. The procurement seeks a professional engineering firm to support a comprehensive sewer line rehabilitation project involving approximately 14,400 linear feet of existing 8" sewer lines. Specific deliverables include developing a final engineering report, creating design and bid package services, and providing construction inspection. The project has a three-year timeframe and will be funded through the State Water Infrastructure Authority (SWIA) via the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Infrastructure. Responses to the RFQ are due by July 15, 2025, at 3:00 P.M., with interested parties required to submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating technical expertise in municipal infrastructure projects. Key evaluation criteria will likely include the firm's previous experience with similar municipal infrastructure projects, technical capabilities, and demonstrated understanding of CDBG-I funding requirements.

The RFQ strongly emphasizes equal opportunity and actively encourages submissions from diverse business enterprises, specifically targeting small, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, historically underutilized, and Section 3 certified businesses. The total project funding is $2,957,000, with payment terms for the selected engineering firm to be negotiated subsequent to vendor selection. Interested parties can obtain detailed RFQ information by contacting Interim Town Manager Glenn Holland or Town Clerk Sherry Davis, with document availability in multiple languages upon request. The project is subject to federal requirements and regulations under the CDBG program, which may impose additional compliance standards on the selected vendor. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of federal grant requirements, municipal infrastructure rehabilitation techniques, and ability to execute complex engineering services within the specified project timeline.
