Consulting Services for Capital Improvement Projects

The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission is soliciting qualified professionals and multidisciplinary firms to establish a long-term pool of pre-qualified consultants for its Capital Improvement Program. This solicitation, identified as 2027-001, seeks expertise in architectural, engineering, planning, surveying, and aquatic facility planning. Pre-qualified firms will be invited to submit detailed Statements of Work for future projects within the program. The response deadline for this solicitation is October 8, 2026. The procurement process is governed by the Commission's procurement policies, which emphasize fair and equitable treatment and compliance with South Carolina state laws. Key requirements include the potential for performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price from T-listed surety companies. The Commission also strongly encourages the inclusion of certified Small Business Enterprises, requiring prime contractors on construction projects of 50,000 dollars or more to demonstrate a good faith effort to utilize SBEs. Compliance with the South Carolina State Ethics Act is mandatory, and the Executive Director maintains the authority to suspend or debar firms based on performance failures, criminal convictions, or ethical violations.
