The City of Tuscaloosa seeks a qualified engineering firm to provide professional construction engineering and inspection services for the Ash Street Sidewalk Project, which includes sidewalk construction, curb‑and‑gutter installation, decorative pedestrian lighting, and security camera integration. The selection will be based on a qualifications‑based RFQ; the chosen firm will later negotiate a contract and fees. Submissions are limited to six one‑sided (or three double‑sided) pages, must include licensing, experience, conflict of interest disclosures, a project‑understanding narrative, and a QA/QC plan, and are scored on experience (50 pts), understanding (30 pts), and QA/QC (20 pts). No award is guaranteed, and the RFQ may be cancelled or all submissions rejected at the City’s discretion.
• Scope: Engineering design, inspection, and construction administration for sidewalks, curb‑gutter, lighting, and camera systems.
• Required deliverables: Concise PDF (max 6 pages) covering licensing, past similar projects, conflict disclosures, approach, and QA/QC.
• Evaluation: Pass/Fail on licensing, de‑barment and conflicts; scored on experience (50 pts), project understanding (30 pts), QA/QC (20 pts).
• Deadline: Submissions due by December 4 2025, 5 p.m. (electronic PDF emailed to the City’s Project Representative).
