Fayetteville Public Works Commission is requesting statements of qualifications from professional engineering firms for an engineering study of Hoffer 12MG Clearwell #1, a 12-million-gallon storage tank constructed in 1969, with responses due August 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and a question deadline of August 11, 2026.

The scope addresses water transmission, distribution, pumping, elevated storage, and ground storage system components; water treatment facilities are excluded. The engineering study must document current infrastructure condition through structural and geotechnical testing, evaluate active leaks, assess feasibility of rehabilitation versus replacement, prioritize repairs, develop conceptual cost estimates, and project improvement timelines. Firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in water treatment plant design and operation. A detailed scope of services will be negotiated following selection, with potential engagement for subsequent design, bidding, and construction observation phases.

The RFQ evaluation framework weights submissions as follows: Letter of Transmittal (30%), Personnel Qualifications (30%), Project and Project Management Experience (25%), Consultants/Sub-consultants (20%), Project Approach and Understanding (15%), and General Qualifications (10%), for a maximum of 20 pages. PWC will award a contract on a time-and-materials basis with rates and a not-to-exceed cap to be negotiated following selection. Contract award is anticipated in October 2026.

Submission requirements include Certificates of Insurance (General Liability, Automotive, Worker's Compensation, and Professional Liability); E-Verify compliance; certification of non-listing on the Iran Divestment Act Final Divestment List; vendor registration through the iSupplier Portal; and both un-redacted and redacted PDF submissions to procurement@faypwc.com. An addendum deadline is set for August 18, 2026. No specific budget allocation or contract value is stated in the RFQ.
