This Authorization to Advertise document from Collier County, Florida pertains to a Request for Professional Services (RPS) issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division on behalf of the Transportation Management Services Division. The solicitation seeks qualified proposers to provide Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for the Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements Section-A project. CEI services involve oversight and liaison responsibilities between the County and the Contractor, including observing construction work, ensuring conformity with plans and specifications, identifying discrepancies, and directing corrections as necessary. Historically, Collier County has allocated approximately 10% to 12% of total construction contract costs for CEI services, though this may not reflect future purchasing patterns.

The document authorizes the County to publicly advertise this professional services opportunity in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications outlined in the solicitation and related attachments. All prospective proposers, referred to interchangeably as consultants, firms, offerors, contractors, or vendors, must meet the minimum requirements specified in the Scope of Services or Scope of Work. The County indicated it typically performs CEI services using either in-house personnel or outsourced consultants, with this solicitation representing an outsourcing opportunity for interested and qualified firms to compete for the engagement.
