Dorchester County in South Carolina is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for on-call electrical engineering services through Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 2026-16), targeting the County's Water & Sewer, Public Works, and Capital Projects Departments. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive electrical engineering services including design, evaluation, troubleshooting of electrical systems, electrical safety and code compliance reviews, utility coordination, electrical condition assessments, and construction support. Proposers will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system across five criteria: Firm Qualifications and Experience (30 points), Key Personnel (25 points), Relevant Project Experience (20 points), Technical Approach (15 points), and References (10 points). Written questions are due by October 24, 2025, with proposal submissions required by November 7, 2025. The initial contract term will be one year with potential renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms. Submissions must include a comprehensive package featuring a cover letter, firm background, project team details, relevant experience, technical approach, and client references. The county reserves the right to make multiple awards based on offeror capacity and will select firm(s) representing the best value through comparative analysis. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to a broad range of qualified electrical engineering firms. The solicitation does not specify incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the on-call nature of the contract suggests potential for ongoing, project-based work across multiple county departments. The county's evaluation approach indicates a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in municipal electrical engineering services, strong technical capabilities, and a proven track record of successful project delivery in similar governmental contexts.
