Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for engineering firms with a strong track record of successfully assisting local governments with federally funded projects. Experience with preliminary reports, final design, construction administration, and inspection for such projects is essential.

Once on the GPR, review the posting for Event PE-66890-NONST-2027-000000005. The posting will direct you on how to submit your Statement of Qualifications before the deadline. Some Georgia events may route documents and responses to an external "Event Link" such as Team Georgia Marketplace.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Focus your Statement of Qualifications on your firm's specific experience with federally funded projects, particularly those involving water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. Highlight your expertise in preliminary reports, design, grant administration, and construction administration.

Clearly demonstrate your understanding of compliance requirements for federally funded projects, such as 2 CFR 200 for Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) and The Brooks Act. Provide concrete examples of past projects that showcase your firm's capabilities and successful outcomes in these areas.

Ensure your submission is complete and addresses all requirements outlined in the solicitation. Pay close attention to the submission instructions and deadlines to avoid disqualification. Remember to plan for annual updates to your qualifications if selected for consideration over the three-year period.
