About this opportunity
The City of Demorest, Georgia is requesting Statements of Qualifications from engineering firms for preliminary engineering reports, final design, grant administration, construction administration, inspection, and closeout services for federally funded projects, with SOQs due September 24, 2026. Selection follows Qualifications Based Selection methodology under The Brooks Act; no pricing is disclosed at this stage.
Eligible projects span Appalachian Regional Commission, Community Development Block Grants (Immediate Threat and Danger, Disaster Recovery, Innovative, Redevelopment, Employment Incentive), US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, USDA, and USEPA funding, all in compliance with 2 CFR 200. Anticipated projects include expansion and improvements to existing Water and Wastewater Treatment, Distribution and Collection Systems and Stormwater Systems.
The contract is anticipated to be awarded immediately upon selection and remain active for three years. The selected firm will be considered on a project-by-project basis for federally funded opportunities arising during the 36-month term and must provide annual updated SOQs throughout the period. This procurement may lead to additional project contracts and addendums for preliminary engineering reports, design, and construction administration services for state and federally funded projects.
Evaluation criteria include firm history and mission statement, community familiarity, key personnel qualifications and licensing, proposed scope and service levels, experience with federally funded projects and cost control, current workload capacity, Errors and Omissions Insurance coverage, and litigation history. The top three to four firms from initial ranking will be invited for virtual interviews, with evaluation points assigned during that process.
SOQs must be submitted to City Manager Mark Musselwhite at 250 Alabama Street, Demorest, Georgia 30535. No incumbent is identified.
