Request For Qualifications For Architects, Structural Engineers, And Surveyors For Construction

The City of Newnan, through the Newnan Urban Redevelopment Agency (NURA), is administering a $4.6 million Congressionally Directed Spending allocation from the FY2023 Federal Budget to support the Chalk Level Area Housing Rehabilitation Program. This initiative focuses on rehabilitating owner-occupied housing units and constructing new homes on city-owned lots, targeted toward low-, moderate-, and middle-income families with household incomes at or below 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Coweta County. To facilitate timely and high-quality implementation, NURA has issued an open-ended Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking licensed and experienced architectural, structural engineering, and land surveying firms to establish a pre-qualified pool of professional service providers. Firms selected from this pool will support various aspects of the program including site surveys, structural assessments, architectural design, code compliance reviews, preparation of construction documents, and construction phase support. Respondents to the RFQ must hold appropriate Georgia licenses, maintain required insurance coverages including workers' compensation and professional liability, demonstrate financial stability, and submit detailed qualifications including resumes of key personnel and project experience with HUD-related programs. The evaluation criteria award up to 40 points based on experience, timely performance capacity, familiarity with HUD programs, financial stability, and other relevant attributes. The contract type is open-ended, allowing ongoing engagement as program income is realized from home sales, with strict adherence to federal and state requirements including the HUD Act of 1968 Section 3 provisions, civil rights laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act. Responses must be delivered to the City of Newnan and include comprehensive documentation as specified, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all submissions to ensure the best interest of the program is served. The RFQ fosters expedited contracting while ensuring compliance with federal funding mandates and maintaining a high standard of service quality for the rehabilitation and new home construction efforts within Newnan.
