RFQ 2026-01 Professional CEI Services for Mashes Sands Pier Reconstruction

This contract awards professional civil‑engineering‑inspection (CEI) services for the reconstruction of the Mashes Sands Pier in Wakulla County, Florida. The scope includes design coordination, FEMA‑approved permitting support, construction‑phase engineering inspection, and compliance reporting for a timber and concrete pier totaling roughly 800 ft. The County will pay a lump‑sum fee for basic services and time‑and‑materials rates for any additional work, with a contract period of one year plus a possible one‑year extension. The award was made to Dewberry Engineers Inc. after a competitive RFQ process that involved a bid submission deadline of March 13 2026, oral presentations in late March, and final board approval in April. • Provides full‑service engineering design, permitting, and on‑site inspection for a federally‑funded pier reconstruction. • Contractor must meet extensive federal and state compliance requirements (FEMA, Davis‑Bacon, Buy‑America, E‑Verify, insurance, bonding). • Contract term is one year with a discretionary one‑year extension; total project funding is $3.8 million, with CEI services representing a modest portion of that budget.
