RFQ Engineering Services

The City of Comer, Georgia is seeking Statements of Qualifications from firms interested in providing engineering services for water, sewer, storm water, and/or other public infrastructure projects. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued to identify the most qualified potential providers of these services, and one or more firms determined to be especially qualified may be invited to discuss and negotiate for these services. The selected firm(s) will be responsible for providing initial consultation and evaluation, funding assistance, preliminary engineering reports, final design, construction administration, inspection, and closeout services on an as-needed basis. The selection process will involve a qualifications-based evaluation, with the highest-ranked firm(s) selected for contract negotiations. The deadline for submitting Statements of Qualifications is January 22, 2024, and the selection notification will be issued on February 5, 2024.

The RFQ states that it is the policy of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) that small businesses, female-owned businesses, and minority businesses have a fair and equal opportunity to participate in these opportunities. Contractors and subcontractors who utilize qualified minority subcontractors may qualify for a state income tax credit for qualified payments made to minority subcontractors, as per the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) Section 48-7-38. The City of Comer reserves the right to reject any or all Statements of Qualifications and to waive technicalities and informalities.
