Engineering Services Dr 4611 Grant Projects

The Webster Parish Police Jury in Louisiana is issuing a solicitation for engineering consulting services related to the DR 4611 Grant Projects, which encompass the design, bidding, and oversight of infrastructure improvements such as safe rooms, emergency generators, and early warning systems funded through FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance and HUD Community Development Block Grants. The project scope emphasizes compliance with federal and state regulations, requiring qualified design professionals registered in Louisiana, with a focus on firms that demonstrate experience in flood mitigation, emergency infrastructure, and regional projects. The contract size is estimated between 500,000 and 1.5 million dollars, with the selection process based on qualifications, key personnel experience, project understanding, and firm capability, rather than price alone, with negotiations on fees to follow after the initial qualification review. The RFQ, posted on November 6, 2025, with a deadline of December 11, 2025, stipulates that responses must include a completed standard response form, a written statement of qualifications, and documentation of Louisiana professional registration. The evaluation emphasizes the expertise of key personnel, familiarity with FEMA and HUD requirements, local project experience, and the firm's overall qualifications. Submission must be in a single printed package addressed to the Parish’s designated contact, with no electronic submissions permitted. The process involves a qualifications-based selection, where the highest-rated firm will be negotiated with for the final contract, and the project performance will occur within Webster Parish, with inspections and acceptance managed by the Parish authorities. The solicitation does not specify federal contract clauses, pricing details, or detailed delivery schedules but underscores strict adherence to submission deadlines and compliance with federal and local standards for project execution.
