The Hancock County Engineer, acting on behalf of Hancock County, Ohio, intends to contract for

Replacement project.

Firms interested in being considered for a contract to provide engineering services should reply

with a Statement of Qualifications no later than 3:00 p.m. on March 27, 2026. Statements

received after this deadline will not be considered.

Statements of Qualifications should include information regarding the firm’s history; education

and experience of key technical personnel; the technical expertise of the firm’s current staff; the

firm’s experience in performing engineering design and surveying for ODOT Level 1 and Level 2

bridge design; availability of staff; references; and any previous county bridge projects performed

for Hancock County or counties of similar size in Ohio. All consultants and sub-consultants shall

be ODOT prequalified at the time of submission.

Upon receipt of the Statement of Qualifications, it is the intent of the Hancock County Engineer

to score and rank the firms based on their submission. The County reserves the right to interview

the top-rated firms.

Statements of Qualifications should be transmitted in PDF format to

engineer@co.hancock.oh.us.

Supplemental Information for Statement of Qualifications

Statements of Qualifications from professional design firms are required to complete surveying and design

for the replacement of the HAN–CR 95 -5.35 (SFN 3236889). The project is located in Marion Township

and the City of Findlay on County Road 95 (Bigelow Avenue), 0.3 miles from North Main Street and 0.9

miles from Crystal Avenue, over Howard Run.

The project limits extend approximately 250 feet on each end of the bridge and will include the design of

the substructure, superstructure, deck, and approaches.

The project is funded through the Hancock County Engineer. Design must meet state and federal

standards, and construction will be funded through local funds. Engineering fees will be funded entirely

by the Hancock County Engineer and will not be subject to ODOT requirements.

Geotechnical, environmental, and permitting services will be contracted separately by the County. It is

anticipated that no additional right-of-way will be required.

Evaluation Criteria

1. Project Manager Qualifications

The proposed project manager for each consultant shall be ranked, with the highest-ranked project

manager receiving the greatest number of points and lower-ranked project managers receiving

commensurately lower scores. Rankings will be based on each project manager’s experience on similar

projects and past performance for Hancock County and other agencies.

2. Experience and Strength of Assigned Staff

The experience and strength of the assigned staff, including subconsultant staff, will be ranked and scored

as noted above, with higher differential scores assigned for more complex projects. Any subfactors

identified in the project notification will be weighed heavily. Rankings will be based on each staff

member’s experience on similar projects and past performance for Hancock County and other agencies.

3. Past Performance on Similar Projects

Consultants will be ranked and scored on a relative, differential basis, with the highest-ranked consultant

receiving a commensurately greater number of points. The selection team will consider performance

ratings and consult other agencies as appropriate. Differential scoring will consider project complexity and

any subfactors identified in the project notice.

4. Workload and Availability

The consultant’s workload and availability of qualified personnel, equipment, and facilities will be ranked

and scored on a relative, differential basis. The selection team will consider an equitable distribution of

work among similarly qualified firms.

5. Relevant Project Experience

Provide details of at least three (3) recent, similar county projects that best demonstrate the firm’s

experience and ability to provide professional design services for this project. References shall include the

project name, description, and owner contact information.

It is the County Engineer’s intention to provide open competition for the aforementioned engineering

services in which firms’ qualifications are evaluated. Once a firm is selected, fair and reasonable

compensation will be negotiated.
