Description
This opportunity involves the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) seeking engineering and consulting expertise to review statements of qualifications (SOQs) for firms that will potentially provide services related to the replacement and rehabilitation of its water‑utility infrastructure. The evaluation is purely qualification‑based; no design or construction work is awarded at this stage. Over 50 consulting firms submitted SOQs, receiving scores ranging from 0 to 469, with top scorers such as AECOM, CH2M Hill, and URS Corporation. The tabulation notes compliance issues (missing DBE forms, failure to attend mandatory pre‑bid meetings) but does not disclose budget, contract length, or award details.
• Scope: Review and qualification of engineering firms for water‑utility replacement/rehabilitation projects.
• Evaluation: Scores based on qualification criteria; no monetary award information provided.
• Participation: Large, mid‑size, and regional engineering consultancies, with mandatory pre‑bid meeting attendance enforced.
