This is a Discipline Category Interest Form for Collier County's Professional Services Library solicitation (RPS No. 25-8348). The form serves as the vehicle through which interested consulting firms indicate their qualifications and service capabilities across 17 distinct discipline categories, including Architectural Historic Preservation, Aquatics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Technology Engineering, Road and Bridge Design, SCADA Engineering, Survey and Mapping, Structural Engineering, Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Engineering, Testing, Transit Planning, and Utility Collections/Distribution services. The county intends to establish a comprehensive professional services library by awarding multiple consultants within various disciplines to provide on-an-as-needed basis support to all county departments and divisions. Proposals are due November 17, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. EST, with the contract term structured as five years with a one-year renewal option. Evaluation will be based on four equally weighted criteria: Ability of Professional Personnel (25 points), Past Performance (25 points), Project Approach and Time/Budget Requirements (25 points), and Recent, Current, and Projected Workloads (25 points).

Individual work orders will not exceed $200,000, with funding derived from federal sources including FEMA and potentially HUD grants. Vendors must maintain professional liability insurance of $5,000,000 and submit three to ten completed reference forms from clients with similar project experience. The solicitation emphasizes socioeconomic contracting goals and actively encourages participation from disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. Required vendor documentation includes the Vendor Declaration Statement, Conflict of Interest Certification, and Immigration Certification. Contractors must comply with extensive federal regulations governing debarment, lobbying restrictions, labor standards, and disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The county will initially shortlist at least three firms per discipline, conduct oral presentations as needed, and develop final rankings for Board of County Commissioners approval.
