PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR CLEAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE PROJECTS

The City of Richmond Hill is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from Georgia registered professional engineering firms to provide services for two clean water infrastructure resilience projects. Funded in part by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Hurricane Helene Resilience Funding Program, the scope of work includes Project No. 36, focusing on pump station improvements and backup generators to elevate electrical components and provide redundant power, and Project No. 38, which involves the inventory and floodproofing of manholes within flood zones. The selected firm will be responsible for the full project lifecycle, including surveying, preliminary engineering reports, environmental reviews, design, permitting, and construction phase services such as weekly inspection reports and final deficiency lists. Qualified firms must submit their SOQs by 11:00 A.M. on December 3rd, 2026, via hand delivery or mail. The selection process is qualifications-based, with a weighted evaluation focusing on experience with similar disaster resilience projects, project approach, team composition, knowledge of the local community, and the proposed schedule. Mandatory submission requirements include an E-Verify affidavit, certifications regarding debarment and lobbying, and a drug-free workplace certification. Firms must also maintain professional liability and workers compensation insurance and demonstrate a clean record of financial stability and legal compliance. Final award is contingent upon a written contract, and the city reserves the right to request interviews from short-listed firms.
