Newton Park Dredging Design

The St. Johns River Water Management District is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Newton Park Dredging Design project in Orange County, Florida. The objective of this project is to complete the final design and permitting of dredging previously investigated, including evaluating dredge material characteristics, risks to wildlife, and alternative dredged material handling methods. The successful respondent will work closely with the District to incorporate site-specific placement constraints. The estimated budget for the project is $300,000. Responses are due by 2:00 p.m. on April 6, 2023, and the District's Evaluation Committee will meet on April 13, 2023 and May 11, 2023 to evaluate and rank the submittals. The District reserves the right to award the contract to the highest ranked respondent or to reject all submittals. The RFQ outlines the minimum qualifications for respondents, which include having completed at least three similar dredging design projects within the past ten years, with each project valued at $100,000 or more. The respondent's key personnel must have at least ten years of experience on similar projects, and all engineers and surveyors must be licensed in Florida. The District will evaluate respondents based on their qualifications, technical experience, relevant project experience, location, and volume of past work with the District.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified, and the RFQ does not provide information on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for the project is set at $300,000.
