3-_Score_Sheet_for_RFQ#_1210_Municipal_Engineering_2026_FINAL.xlsx

This is a scoring sheet for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Lakeland, Florida, for Professional Municipal Engineering Services under the State of Florida Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). The RFQ will result in a three-year contract with options for two additional one-year renewals upon mutual consent. The scoring sheet establishes evaluation criteria for qualifications-based selection of engineering firms to provide municipal engineering services to the city.

The evaluation criteria assign point values across seven categories: Response to Requirements (5 points), Professional Personnel Capability (30 points including subsections for Professional Engineers, Technical Staff, and Proposed Project Team), Experience and Past Performance (27 points covering similar projects and experience with municipal, federal, and state grant projects), Willingness and Ability to Meet Time and Budget Requirements (20 points), Location (10 points with preference given to firms within the Lakeland Electric Service Territory), Minority Business Enterprise Status (5 points), and Volume of Work Previously Awarded (3 points). The location scoring provides maximum points for firms serving the Lakeland Electric Service Territory, with reduced points for firms located in Polk County, within 100 miles, within Florida, or out of state. The scoring sheet notes that it applies to firms under the current Municipal Engineering contract expiring September 30, 2026, indicating this is a continuation procurement to transition to the new three-year contract term.
