Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Bennettsville, South Carolina. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project; sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The project is a partnership between Marlboro County and Lake Paul Wallace Authority. County Council approved the project at the December 13th meeting. The boardwalk is anticipated to provide access from the diversion dam to the walking trails. The County will negotiate a contract with the most responsive and highest qualified engineering firm for design services on an as needed basis, at a compensation which considered to be fair and reasonable to the County. Should the County be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the architect/engineer considered the most responsive and qualified, negotiations will be terminated, and negotiations will then proceed with the remaining ranked architect/engineering firms until an agreement is reached. This solicitation does not commit the County to award a contract, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of qualifications submitted, or to procure or contract for services. The awarding of a contract does not commit the County to the exclusive use of the contracted engineering firm. The County reserves the right to accept or reject any, all or any part of offers received as a result of this request, to negotiate with all engineering firms, or to cancel in part or in its entirety this RFQ if it is in the best interest of the County. RFQs will be reviewed by committee. The selection will be made based solely on the qualifications of the firm and experience with similar projects.
