INTENT AND GENERAL INFORMATION

INTENT AND GENERAL INFORMATION

In accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, known as the Consultants Competitive

Negotiation Act (CCNA), the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners (the “County”) is

issuing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2026-01 to solicit proposals from qualified consulting

firms (the “Proposer”) to provide professional design services for this project.

Wakulla County is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms (“Proposers”) to provide

professional construction engineering and inspection services for the Mashes Sands Pier

Reconstruction Project, located at 901 Mashes Sands Road, Panacea, FL 32346. The firm selected

will be responsible for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services. The selected firm

will also be responsible for ensuring the County is compliant with all of the applicable federal and

state requirements and will assist the County with federal reporting and managing the

compliance review process during grant closeout.

It is the intent of this RFQ to enter into a Contract with the successful Respondent to begin upon

approval of the Board of County Commissioners and the issuance of a Notice to Proceed (NTP),

for the Work.

Funding for the project is made possible through a federal grant and is contingent on strict

conformance to the guidelines. Respondents will comply with Exhibit C of Appendix B, Federal

Provisions. If a Respondent cannot adhere to or objects to any of the applicable federal

requirements, Respondent’s proposal may be deemed by the County as unresponsive. In order

for the Respondent to be eligible for consideration, the Respondent MUST have an active

registration with Sam.gov and provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) on Form 1 of the

Proposal Forms.

If this RFQ is amended, the County Procurement Office will issue an appropriate addendum to

the RFQ. Any addendums will be posted on the County Website. If an addendum is issued, all

terms and conditions of this RFQ that are not specifically modified in the addendum shall remain

unchanged. An addendum to this RFQ will be issued if any of the date and/or time change, unless

the date(s) fall after the date the RFQ Proposal(s) are due. Specific dates/time will be determined

at each phase.

It is understood and the Respondent hereby agrees to be solely responsible for obtaining all

materials and determining the best methods that will be utilized to meet the intent of the

specifications of this RFQ. Failure by the Respondent to acquaint themselves with the available

information will not relieve them from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost

of successfully performing the work. Proposers are expected to examine the specifications and

all instructions pertaining to the required commodities/services. Failure to do so will be at

Respondent’s risk.

The County reserves the right to reject any Proposal found to be non-responsive, vague, or non-

conforming. The County also reserves the right at any time to withdraw all or part of this RFQ in

order to protect its best interests. The County is not liable for any costs incurred by the

Respondent in preparing its response, nor is a response an offer to contract with any Respondent.
