Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update RFQ

Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) and Metropolitan Sewer Subdistrict (MetroConnects), special-purpose districts in Greenville County, South Carolina, are jointly soliciting qualifications packages from engineering firms to update the sanitary sewer master plan, with submissions due July 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM via ReWa's PlanetBids portal. The project requires a qualified project manager and substantial support team located within 150 miles of ReWa and MetroConnects' Administration Buildings in Greenville.

The scope comprises four primary tasks: flow data analysis to delineate existing and future sewered areas and develop wastewater flow factors; development of future wastewater flow projections for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and buildout scenarios; hydraulic capacity evaluation including updates to ReWa's existing hydraulic model and incorporation of MetroConnects' sewer system; and improvement alternatives analysis to address increased flows from development. ReWa serves over 500,000 residents across five counties with 430 miles of sewer lines and 87 pump stations; MetroConnects serves over 330,000 residents within Greenville County with more than 1,500 miles of gravity sewer.

The anticipated contract duration is a maximum of twelve months from execution. Evaluation criteria weight professional personnel experience, past performance with clients, and creativity and insight at 20 percent each; demonstrated ability to meet time and budget requirements and related experience on similar projects at 15 percent each; and locality and current and projected workloads at 5 percent each. Upon award, firms must maintain minimum insurance including $2,000,000 Errors and Omissions Liability, $1,000,000 Cyber and Commercial General Liability, and $500,000 Crime coverage, with ReWa and MetroConnects named as additional insureds. Questions are due July 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM. SOQ submissions are limited to twenty-five pages plus appendices containing audited financial statements and staff resumes (three pages per staff member), with proposers required to submit at least three client references.
