RFQ 1-02 request for qualifications to provide engineering services and grant management services

The City of Pembroke, Georgia is requesting qualifications from engineering firms and grant management consultants to provide design, construction oversight, and grant administration services for two water infrastructure projects funded through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Hurricane Helene Resilience Funding Program, with qualifications due July 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST.

Drinking Water Project No. 32 involves design and construction oversight of a new municipal water well with backup power supplies at a total project cost of $2,674,875. Clean Water Project No. 27 covers design and installation oversight of permanent backup power generators and telemetry systems at lift stations, budgeted at $2,100,000. Engineering firms must demonstrate successful experience in design and construction oversight of municipal water systems. Grant management consultants must demonstrate experience in compliance with state and federal grant regulations. The City may award to one or more firms for each service type, and final scope will be negotiated with the selected awardee(s) prior to contract execution.

The Selection Committee will evaluate qualifications using weighted criteria: past performance on similar projects (30%), firm qualifications and experience (20%), project approach and methodology (20%), price proposal and fee schedule (20%), and technical approach and package quality (10%). The City reserves the right to award based on best-evaluated response rather than lowest cost.

Questions must be submitted by July 15, 2026. Award notification is anticipated by August 11, 2026. Submissions must be emailed as a single PDF to clerk@pembrokeeper.net or mailed to the City of Pembroke. Proposers are prohibited from contacting Selection Committee members or the City regarding the solicitation until award announcement; violation may result in proposal rejection.
