2027 CDBG Engineering

Statements of qualifications and proposals are being requested from Engineering firms with a strong record in successfully assisting local governments with the preliminary report, final design, and construction administration of Federally Assisted Projects. Responding firms should be qualified to provide a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), NPDES Services (if applicable) design and construction administration services for projects utilizing federal funds.

Plans are to contract, within a year from the date of this notice, with a reputable firm for Engineering services for Federally Funded Projects related to community and economic development.

This procurement could include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Redevelopment Fund Projects (RDF), Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) Projects, Employment Incentive Program (EIP), Economic Development Administrations (EDA) Projects, Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC) Projects, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Projects, and any other federally funded project in Compliance with 2 CFR 200 for Procurement. This procurement action may also lead to additional project contracts and/or contract addendums for planning, administrative and other related services for State and Federally funded projects. This is not a request for a retainer of services. Immediate plans call for services to assist with the preparation and administration of a FY2027 Project. All firms submitting will be reconsidered, on a project-by-project basis, should future state and federally funded opportunities arise within the next 2-3 year period.
