This is a topographic and aerial survey services solicitation issued by the Escambia County Waste Services Department in Florida for surveying work at the Perdido Landfill site, covering approximately 378 acres. The county is seeking certified surveyors to provide comprehensive topographic and aerial survey services on a bi-monthly basis, with six surveys required per fiscal year. Deliverables include LiDAR surveys with control points, 1-foot contours in .dwg/.shp file formats, Digital Terrain, Surface, and Elevation Models, XML point cloud files, aerial imagery, and a signed survey report from a certified surveyor. The initial contract term is 36 months with options to renew for two additional 12-month periods, potentially extending to 60 months total. The question cutoff date is December 23, 2025, with final proposals due January 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Electronic proposals must be submitted through the e-procurement portal and are limited to 20 pages. This procurement will be awarded to a single vendor on an all-or-none basis to the most responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest bid.

Bidders must demonstrate local presence and experience in Escambia County or nearby regions and comply with Escambia County's local business preference policy, which may provide advantages for local businesses submitting competitive bids. Vendors must meet stringent insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 professional errors and omissions coverage, $1,000,000 general liability coverage, and aviation liability coverage if using drones for survey work. All vendors and subcontractors must complete E-Verify registration, Florida Division of Corporations registration, and submit certifications including sworn statements on public entity crimes, scrutinized companies, conflict of interest, and drug-free workplace compliance. Bidders must provide comprehensive lump sum pricing with all fees and costs transparently broken down. Unmanned aerial drones are acceptable for performing survey work. The county will not pay federal excise and sales taxes on direct purchases. No specific award value is mentioned in the solicitation, though the multi-year contract structure suggests a substantial procurement opportunity.
