BEAUFORT, S.C. – The City of Beaufort has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for consultant services for the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The park is a major meeting hub and venue for festivals and concerts for the City of Beaufort.
On June 11, 2024, during a City Council Work Session, McSweeney Engineers presented an evaluation report following a periodic assessment of the park’s relieving platform. The report contained several recommendations based on the conditions of the structure discovered during the assessment. To help guide efforts toward pursuing these recommendations, the city is seeking the services of a qualified professional.
“This is the next step in identifying the best approach to a long-term solution to address the recommendations made in the recent Relieving Platform Structural Evaluation – 2024 report,” said City Manager Scott Marshall.
The RFQ requirements include:
- Demonstrated knowledge of and experience engineering complex civil, structural, marine, coastal, and waterfront type projects, preferably in the Southeast.
- Previous experience with projects of similar scope, complexity, and magnitude to that of the relieving platform.
- Demonstrated knowledge of and experience working with local, state, and federal permitting requirements and processes associated with marine, coastal, and waterfront projects.
- Demonstrated knowledge of available grant and other funding sources.
- Demonstrated knowledge of local marine conditions associated with coastal saltwater estuaries and impacts associated with forecasted sea-level rise.
- Demonstrated experience working on complex projects that involve local, state, and federal purchasing, procurement, and contracting procedures.
The RFQ is open now and will close at 2 p.m. on Sept. 6. For more details and instructions on how to submit a proposal, go to bit.ly/41Xi5Sm.
