Request for Proposal: Term Contract for Professional Engineering Services for Comprehensive Water and Wastewater Engineering and Related Services

The Western Virginia Water Authority (Authority) is seeking proposals from qualified engineering consulting firms to provide professional engineering and related services on a term contract basis. The services required may include design, construction, and other engineering-related tasks for water and wastewater projects to assist the Authority in implementing its continued annual investments in regional utility infrastructure and expected additional investments through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The term contracts will be for one year, with the potential for up to three additional one-year extensions. Proposals are due by January 17, 2024, and the Authority intends to award multiple term contracts based on the qualifications and expertise of each proposer. The pricing for the task orders will be based on an agreed-upon fee schedule and will not be subject to competition solely on price.

The Authority encourages minority-owned and women-owned businesses to respond to this opportunity. The RFP does not indicate any specific incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on the expected award value or budget range for this procurement. However, the Authority notes that it may request competing proposals when deemed appropriate and that the selected firms will negotiate individual task orders with the Authority.
