About this opportunity

Dorchester County is seeking qualified firms to submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for on-call structural engineering services through Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2026-15. The procurement focuses on providing professional structural engineering support for Water & Sewer projects, with potential work extending to Public Works and Capital Projects Departments involving road, drainage, building, and infrastructure improvements. Specific services will include design and review of structural systems for water and wastewater facilities, structural condition assessments, load rating evaluations, field investigations, inspections, and construction consultation. The county will evaluate proposals using a comprehensive scoring process with five key criteria: Firm Qualifications and Experience (30 points), Key Personnel (25 points), Relevant Project Experience (20 points), Technical Approach (15 points), and References (10 points), using a 0-5 point scale. Key dates for this opportunity include written questions due by October 22, 2025, and proposals due by November 4, 2025. The contract term will be one year with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms, with the county reserving the right to make multiple awards based on consultant capacity.

The RFQ does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Payment terms include monthly invoices based on task orders, with payment due within 30 days of approved invoices. Consultants must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with various legal and regulatory requirements. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the county will be prepared to work with selected consultants on an as-needed basis for specific infrastructure projects. The RFQ does not disclose a precise contract value or budget range, but the on-call nature of the contract suggests flexibility in project scope and potential compensation. The county maintains the ability to negotiate with one or more firms during the selection process, indicating a potential for multiple awards based on the demonstrated capabilities of responding firms. Interested structural engineering firms should carefully review the full RFQ document and prepare comprehensive proposals that highlight their technical expertise, relevant experience, and capacity to support Dorchester County's infrastructure needs.
