Engineering Services

The City of Shady Dale, Georgia is requesting qualifications from engineering firms to develop an asset management plan for its municipal water system under RFQ, with qualifications due June 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EST. The City intends to apply for federal and/or state funding through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) or similar agencies and has already submitted a pre-application with an invitation to submit a full application.

Responding firms must be technically qualified and licensed to provide engineering services relevant to infrastructure planning and asset management. The scope includes preparation of an asset management plan pursuant to state standards. All contracts are subject to federal and state contract provisions prescribed by GEFA.

Statements of qualifications must include firm history and resources, GEFA experience, key personnel qualifications, current workload, proposed scope and level of service, experience with similar projects and references, fees or percentages for preparing the asset management plan, and errors and omissions insurance information. Selection will be based on project approach, timing, experience, quality of work, capacity to perform, and costs, with consideration given to past performance on similar projects, infrastructure design timeliness, ability to complete work within budget, knowledge of the community, and local government experience. A vendor list will be prepared on June 17, 2026, and vendors will be officially selected at a regularly scheduled City council meeting in July 2026. The Northeast Georgia Regional Commission (NEGRC) is providing technical assistance. Hard copy and digital submissions must be sent directly to Joan Champion, City Clerk, at the City of Shady Dale address. All submitted materials will become public documents subject to Georgia's Open Records Act. Neither NEGRC nor the City shall be responsible for costs incurred in preparing the statement of qualifications.
