RFQ for Engineering, Design and Inspection Services

The Town of Waynesville, North Carolina is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide engineering, bid package, and inspection services for the implementation of a CDBG-funded Sanitary Sewer System Improvement project in South Waynesville. The project involves the upgrade and replacement of deteriorated sewer lines and appurtenances to address inflow and infiltration issues, as well as the extension of sewer lines along Hendrix Street, Franklin Street, and Muse Street. The water system improvements include the upgrade and replacement of a portion of the existing public water system along Sawyer Street. The required engineering services include surveying, preliminary engineering, environmental documentation, bid package preparation, construction observation, and inspections. Proposals are due by April 16, 2024 at 4:00 PM, and the selected firm will be awarded a contract for the engineering design/bid package and construction inspection services, contingent upon the Release of Funds and Funding Conditions. The project must be completed within a 3-year timeframe and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal requirements, including CDBG program guidance.

The Town of Waynesville encourages submissions from small, minority, and women-owned firms, historically underutilized businesses, and certified/registered Section 3 business concerns. The Town has budgeted $198,000 for engineering services related to the Sanitary Sewer Improvements and $144,200 for the Water System Improvements. The proposal will be evaluated based on the qualifications, competence, and reputation of the firm and personnel, the firm's capability to meet time and project budget requirements, the firm's present and projected workload, related experience on similar CDBG projects, and recent and current work for the Town of Waynesville.
