Madison County Water Line Expansion

The Madison County Board of Commissioners, with technical assistance from the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission (NEGRC), is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering firms to provide preliminary design services and, if funded, engineering services for a potential FY25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. The purpose of the project is to expand approximately 1.5 miles of water services to serve 56 residences along sections of Stone Stewart Road, Griffeth Road, Shady Lane, and Northwood Circle in Madison County. Responding firms must be technically qualified and licensed in the State of Georgia, and the selected vendor will be required to provide a draft Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for the CDBG application no later than February 29, 2025. The RFQ outlines the required statement of qualifications content, the evaluation and selection process, and the project timeline, with qualifications due by 5:00 p.m. EST on November 14, 2024, and the selected vendor to be determined by December 2, 2024. The project may be subject to Section 3 requirements of the HUD Act of 1968, and all contracts are subject to federal and state contract provisions.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement is open to all qualified engineering firms. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and it does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not indicate a specific award value or budget range for the project.
