This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document issued by the City of Lakeland, Florida, for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for the Glendale Street Trail project extending from New Jersey Road to Lakeland Highlands Road. The City is seeking qualifications from engineering firms prequalified by the Florida Department of Transportation in Work Group Type 10 (Construction Engineering Inspection), Work Type 10.1 (Roadway CEI), and Work Type 10.3 (Construction Materials Inspection). The project will be administered through the City's Public Works Department. The solicitation follows the requirements of Florida Statute 287.055, known as the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA), which establishes a formal process for selecting professional engineering services based on demonstrated qualifications rather than competitive bidding.

In compliance with CCNA requirements under Florida Chapter 287, consultant rates and pricing shall not be included in submitted proposals. Firms are required to be prequalified by the Florida Department of Transportation in the specified work types prior to submitting qualifications. The selection process will evaluate firms based on their technical qualifications, relevant experience, and capability to perform CEI services for this municipal trail project. Additional details regarding submission deadlines, evaluation criteria, scope of work specifications, and project timeline would be contained within the full RFQ documentation.
