The project requires engineering services related to the reconstruction of potable water facilities and the existing roadway network, and for the construction of new reclaimed water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater management facilities within the designated neighborhood. Because more than $1 million has been appropriated from the CDBG program and City utility funds, the City's engineering providers under continuing contract could not be assigned the work. The full cost of the project is expected to approach $3 million during multiple construction phases over several years. Under the terms of the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) of Florida, any engineering work for which the anticipated construction cost exceeds $1 million must be procured through a separate competition based solely on technical capabilities. The project was advertised through a Request for Qualifications, with statements of qualification being due on May 22, 2007. Responses were received from eight firms.
