Request for Qualifications (RFQ)

The Town of Seaboard is soliciting qualifications from engineering firms to provide design, bid preparation, and construction inspection services for a low-pressure residential wastewater system located at 603 S. Washington Street, Seaboard, North Carolina. This project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant Neighborhood Revitalization award of 235,939 dollars from the North Carolina Department of Commerce Rural Economic Development Division. The selected firm will be responsible for technical design and administrative support, including the review and approval of contractor payment requests and change orders, while ensuring all work complies with CDBG program federal requirements and NCDOC regulations. The Town will select the most qualified firm based on the technical competence of assigned staff, specialized experience in wastewater improvements, and a proven track record with similar CDBG-funded projects. Interested respondents must submit their qualifications, a proposed work plan and schedule, and documentation of state and federal debarment eligibility by 2:00 p.m. on October 21, 2026. The Town encourages submissions from small, minority, women-owned, veteran-owned, and historically underutilized businesses, as well as certified Section 3 business concerns. Final contract pricing and payment terms will be negotiated with the chosen firm following approval by the Town Board.
