Site work for a water / sewer project in Saint Augustine Beach, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to solicit Qualifications from Respondents, who are licensed to preform engineering service in the State of Florida, in accordance with Florida Statutes 287.055 to design, engineer, permit, develop construction-ready documents, assist the County with the bidding process and provide construction administration services for Porpoise Point Shoreline Stabilization Project in St. Johns County. The intent of the County is to select the most qualified Respondent, based upon evaluation of submitted Qualifications and presentations/interviews with shortlisted Respondents, for the purposes of negotiating and awarding a contract for completion of the Services. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has already completed a preliminary study of the project area under their Continuing Authorities Program. The USACE project team worked with St. Johns County and other state and federal stakeholders following the planning process to develop a permanent solution to the problems identified. Through coordination meetings, 19 management measures were identified to reduce coastal storm damage to the Porpoise Point vicinity. Management measures were combined in different permutations, resulting in 32 alternatives. The alternatives were screened and scored against the planning problems, objectives, constraints, and considerations to develop the final array of alternatives consisting of four alternatives and the no-action plan. All of the final alternatives (except the no-action plan) contained a groin feature (shore perpendicular structure) or a breakwater feature (shore parallel structure), or both, to trap sand at Porpoise Point. Combining this with an initial beach nourishment and dune feature would reduce impacts of erosion, wave attack, and storm surge inundation to the beach and the upland public utilities and residential structures. The project site lies within the CBRA System Unit P05 (Conch Island) and federal assistance, including construction, is prohibited in the CBRA System Units. Due to this restriction, the Corps was unable to complete their study. A termination report was completed and is attached Owner Rights:St. Johns County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids/proposals, waive minor informalities, or award the bid/proposal which best serves the interests of St. Johns County. The County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all Qualifications, waive minor formalities and irregularities, and to award to the Respondent that serves the best interest of the County. Any questions received after this deadline will not be addressed or clarified by the County, unless it is determined to be in the best interest of the County to do so.
