The City of Alexandria seeks qualified engineering firms to provide comprehensive engineering and PHMSA‑related services for its Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Project. The scope includes preliminary analysis, preliminary and final engineering design, construction observation, and project implementation oversight to ensure compliance with federal PHMSA grant requirements for replacing steel or PVC gas mains with polyethylene mains and associated sewer line work. Selections will be based solely on a point‑system evaluation of experience, capacity, and references. • Fixed‑price lump‑sum contract (budget not disclosed). • Evaluation criteria total 100 points: 30 pts each for PHMSA‑related project experience, other federally‑funded construction experience, and current capacity; 5 pts each for quality and schedule references. • Submissions (qualification statements) must be hand‑delivered or mailed by May 13 2026, 2:00 PM CST to the City’s Utilities Department. • Primary contact: Curtis Foglman, Gas Superintendent, (318) 419‑7294. • Work will be performed locally in Alexandria, LA, with the actual linear footage of gas‑main replacement to be defined after the PHMSA grant award.
