About this opportunity
Cumberland County has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering services related to the Rhodes Pond Parking and Restroom Improvements project located at 11037 Dunn Road, Dunn, NC. The procurement seeks a qualified engineering firm to provide comprehensive services including design, permit acquisition, public outreach, modeling, studies, contract negotiation, bidding assistance, construction administration, and project oversight. Key project objectives include improving the parking area by increasing capacity, organizing layout, and adding ADA-compliant spaces, as well as renovating the existing bathroom facility to meet ADA requirements, enhance aesthetics, improve functionality, and ensure code compliance. The selection process will be conducted by a Cumberland County Selection Committee, which will evaluate submissions based on five specific criteria: Firm Qualifications (20%), Relevant Experience (25%), Project Team Qualifications (25%), Project Approach including Schedule (15%), and Firm References (15%). Interested engineering firms must submit five hard copies and one USB flash drive containing a PDF of their Statement of Qualifications by 2:00 PM on Friday, August 29, 2025.
The project will be funded through a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan, which mandates that all contracted consultants and subconsultants must be eligible to receive federal funds under the Uniform Grant Guidance. Bidders are required to comply with various federal requirements, including Davis-Bacon Wage Requirements and American Iron and Steel Provisions. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive federal funding guidelines suggest potential opportunities for diverse firms. The county will rank the most qualified firms and attempt to negotiate reasonable fees with the top-ranked firm, with the option to move to the next most qualified firm if initial negotiations are unsuccessful. Although a specific award value or budget range is not provided in the documentation, the project's scope suggests a substantial engineering and construction contract that will involve significant design, permitting, and renovation work for the Rhodes Pond facility.
