HERITAGE HARBOUR NORTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR PROJECT-SPECIFIC DISTRICT ENGINEERING SERVICES

(COMPLETION OF REUSE WATER LINE DESIGN, PERMITTING, BIDDING, AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES)

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Heritage Harbour North Community Development District (the "District"), located in Manatee County, Florida, is requesting qualifications from professional engineering firms to serve as the replacement project engineer for the District's existing reuse water line project (the "Project"). The selected firm will be expected to promptly obtain and review the existing design documents, calculations, surveys, permit applications, agency comments, and other work product prepared by the prior engineer; independently verify and, as professionally appropriate, adopt, revise, and complete that work under the selected firm's responsible charge; complete the design and permitting process, including coordination with Manatee County and other applicable governmental and utility entities; assist the District with bidding and contractor selection; and provide construction administration, observation, and inspection services through final completion and closeout. The selected firm will also provide related professional engineering services reasonably necessary to complete the Project while preserving usable work already performed and minimizing delay and duplication of effort.

The District seeks engineering firms with strong qualifications and proven experience in reuse water line design, permitting, bidding, and construction-phase services. Any firm or individual ("Applicant") desiring to provide professional services to the District must: 1) hold all applicable professional licenses and registrations, including authorization to provide engineering services in Florida; 2) be authorized to do business in Florida in accordance with Florida law; and 3) furnish a statement ("Qualification Statement") of its qualifications and relevant experience using U.S. General Services Administration Standard Form 330, together with pertinent supporting data. The Qualification Statement must identify the proposed project manager and key personnel and describe: a) the ability and adequacy of the Applicant's professional personnel and subconsultants; b) the Applicant's certified minority business enterprise status, if any; c) the Applicant's ability and willingness to meet the District's time and budget requirements, including its prompt availability to begin transition work; d) the Applicant's relevant past experience and performance with reuse water line projects, Manatee County and other applicable permitting agencies, community development districts, bidding assistance, and construction administration, observation, and inspection; e) the Applicant's experience taking over and successfully completing partially completed design and permitting projects, including its approach to reviewing, verifying, and assuming professional responsibility for work prepared by a prior engineer; f) the geographic location of the personnel who will serve the Project and their ability to respond promptly; g) the Applicant's current and projected workloads and capacity to complete the Project without delay; and h) the volume of work previously awarded to the Applicant by the District. The Qualification Statement should also include the Applicant's proposed transition and project-completion approach, anticipated schedule, references for comparable assignments, and any known conflicts of interest.

The District will conduct this procurement in accordance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, Section 287.055, Florida Statutes ("CCNA"). Each Applicant must submit its Standard Form 330, Qualification Statement, and supporting materials as searchable PDF files by email only to wardj@pfm.com and jacksonk@pfm.com no later than Wednesday, November 25, 2026 Eastern Time on 12:00 p.m. The email subject line must state: "Heritage Harbour North CDD Reuse Water Line Project RFQ." Printed copies and USB drives will not be accepted. Applicants may provide additional information that directly demonstrates their qualifications for the Project. Qualification Statements must not include proposed fees or other pricing information; compensation will be negotiated in accordance with the CCNA after the firms are ranked.

The District's Board of Supervisors will evaluate the Qualification Statements based on the CCNA, the project-specific qualifications and considerations stated above, and the evaluation criteria on file with the District Manager. The evaluation will consider, among other things, the qualifications and availability of proposed personnel; relevant technical and permitting experience; demonstrated success completing partially completed projects and transitioning prior-engineer work; project approach and schedule; past performance and references; geographic proximity and responsiveness; current and projected workloads; certified minority business enterprise status, if any; and the volume of work previously awarded by the District. The Board will select and rank no fewer than three qualified Applicants, if at least three qualified Applicants submit, in order of preference. The District will negotiate a contract with the highest-ranked Applicant at compensation that the District determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable. If the District is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the highest-ranked Applicant, the District will formally terminate those negotiations and proceed sequentially with the next-ranked Applicants in accordance with the CCNA.

The District reserves the right, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, to reject any or all Qualification Statements, waive minor irregularities, request clarification or additional information, cancel or re-advertise this request, and modify the procurement schedule. No Applicant is entitled to reimbursement for any costs incurred in preparing or submitting a Qualification Statement, participating in interviews or negotiations, or otherwise responding to this request.

Any protest concerning the terms of this Notice or the evaluation criteria must be filed in accordance with the District's Rules of Procedure. A written notice of protest must be received by the District Manager within seventy-two (72) hours after publication of this Notice, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state legal holidays. A formal written protest stating with particularity the facts and law upon which the protest is based must be received by the District Manager within seven (7) calendar days after the notice of protest is filed. Failure to timely file either the notice of protest or the formal written protest constitutes a waiver of the right to protest the terms of this Notice or the evaluation criteria. Any required protest bond must be submitted in the form, amount, and time prescribed by the District's Rules of Procedure.
