The City of Lenoir (City) is requesting Statements of Qualifications from engineering firms to
evaluate their professional civil engineering qualifications in accomplishing the subject project in
accordance with this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The City has been approved to receive
Asset Inventory Assessment (AIA) grant funds through the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA)
and State Reserve Program (SRP) funds approved by the State Water Infrastructure Authority
(SWIA) and the Division of Water Infrastructure. The AIA project will build upon the
accomplishments of an initial AIA grant received in 2016. Key outcomes of this project will
include a detailed inventory and assessment of the entire water and sewer systems. The project
will include: asset inventory of the entire water and sewer systems, assessment of the condition of
the inventoried assets and criticality scoring matrix of assets, identification of water and sewer
systems improvements and costs, updates to the water and sewer Capital Improvement Plans, and
preparation of a complete water and sewer asset management plan for the water and sewer systems.
One requirement of the funding program is to request qualifications for engineering services for
which the ARPA funds will be used. The City reserves the right to waive any and all informalities
in the selection process and also reserves the right not to award the project. It is the City's intent
to award one contract for these services. The City reserves the right to accept a firm that is most
advantageous to the City. Selection will be made based on evaluation factors of past performance
and experience with municipal public utilities systems, experience with similar projects, and
professional personnel.
