About this opportunity
Dorchester County, South Carolina is seeking qualified engineering and inspection firms to provide On-Call Inspection and Quality Control Services for road, drainage infrastructure, and sidewalk/multi-use path projects through Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2026-20. The county aims to select up to three firms to perform third-party inspection and quality control verification for various infrastructure projects, including development, capital improvements, and infrastructure upgrades. Firms will be responsible for developing inspection templates, establishing quality control standards, performing site inspections, and preparing detailed documentation reports signed by a South Carolina Professional Engineer. The evaluation process will assess firms based on four key criteria: experience and qualifications of key individuals and staff (40% weight), similar project experience and firm performance (20%), availability and responsiveness (20%), and understanding of contract requirements (20%). Proposals will be scored on a 0-5 point scale, with written questions due by October 31, 2025, and final proposals due by November 11, 2025. The initial contract term will be one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.
The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the county notes that 299 development projects have been approved in the last three years, suggesting a potentially robust market for these services. The county does not guarantee a minimum amount of work, and payment will be made within 30 days of approved invoices, with contract prices including all applicable state and local taxes. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the scope of work suggests a significant ongoing need for inspection and quality control services across various infrastructure projects. The solicitation indicates that selected firms will work on a task order basis, allowing flexibility in project assignment and potential engagement. Firms will need to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in infrastructure inspection, quality control verification, and detailed reporting to be considered for selection.
