Pittsylvania County and the Town of Hurt are seeking proposals for professional architecture and engineering services to support the planning, design, permitting, procurement, and construction of improvements to the Hurt Water Treatment Plant. Funded by a U.S. Economic Development Administration grant, the project involves the recommissioning and refurbishment of the raw water intake, sedimentation process, and clearwell, as well as the installation of a new filtration process within a new pre-engineered metal building. The goal is to establish a system capable of meeting a current demand of up to 1.0 MGD. The total estimated project cost is 10,381,000 dollars, with construction anticipated to take approximately 24 months. Qualified firms must be licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and adhere to all applicable state and federal laws, including EDA construction standards, the Davis-Bacon Act, and Buy America/Build America provisions. Proposals are due by November 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM and must be submitted to the Pittsylvania County Purchasing Department. Evaluation will be based on a weighted system focusing on specific experience and technical capabilities (30 points), understanding of the work (30 points), personnel availability (15 points), federal grant experience (15 points), and references (10 points). Notably, cost estimates must not be included in the initial proposal and will only be requested from short-listed firms following the initial evaluation.
