Description
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking engineering and consulting services to support the replacement and rehabilitation of its water and wastewater facilities. The RFQ was divided into three distinct service categories—Surveying Services, Geotechnical Services, and Testing Services—each evaluated via a Statement of Qualifications (SQ) scored on experience, personnel qualifications, recent workload with SWBNO, local office presence, and overall team capability. The tabulation posted on 12 / 16 / 2014 lists the firms that received scores, with PSI, Eustis Engineering, and Stantec among the top scorers. No monetary values, contract duration, or award dates are disclosed in the tabulation.
• Scope: Engineering consulting for surveying, geotechnical investigations, and material testing related to facility replacement/rehabilitation.
• Evaluation: Weighted criteria (35 % firm experience, 45 % key personnel, 5 % recent SWBNO work, 10 % overall panel rating).
• Competitive Landscape: Established firms such as PSI, Eustis Engineering, Stantec, Terracon, and others received the highest scores; many lower‑scoring firms also participated.
• Missing Data: No budget, deadline, award date, project length, or contact details are provided in the tabulation.
• Relevance: Firms offering any of the three service categories with local presence in New Orleans could be viable candidates, but further solicitation documents are needed to assess timelines and financial scope.
