City Of Lake Park Request For Qualifications Engineering Services

The City of Lake Park is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide grant-related infrastructure design and management services for federally and state-funded projects, including programs such as ARPA, CDBG, RDF, GEFA, EIP, and EDA. The contract emphasizes firms’ experience with similar projects, licensing in Georgia, and compliance with federal regulations, particularly Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, which encourages Section 3 Business Concerns to participate. Proposals must include a comprehensive Statement of Qualifications detailing firm history, key personnel, relevant project experience, current workload, insurance coverage, and certifications, notably for Section 3 status if applicable. The procurement process is qualifications-based, with no specific weighting or scoring criteria explicitly outlined, and the City reserves the right to reject any proposals or waive informalities. The deadline for submission is August 25, 2025, by 5:00 PM, with proposals to be sent to the City Clerk at the provided address or email. The contractual framework incorporates numerous federal and state statutes governing nondiscrimination, accessibility, and fair housing, including Title VI, the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Housing Act, Section 504, and the ADA, ensuring compliance across all project activities. While the documents do not specify detailed pricing, line items, or delivery schedules, they establish that the selected firm will perform infrastructure improvement projects within the City of Lake Park, with future project opportunities to be awarded on a project-by-project basis over the next 2-3 years. The contract stipulates that all proposals must include notarized certifications, especially if the firm qualifies as a Section 3 Business Concern, and that submissions should encompass all required forms and supporting documentation. The City’s primary contact for inquiries and submission coordination is Lisa Johnson, whose contact details are provided, and all contractual obligations are subject to applicable federal and state provisions.
