This is a Scope of Work document for the Hillsborough County Engineering and Operations Department in Florida, outlining professional traffic engineering services required under a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) set-aside contract. The County seeks comprehensive traffic engineering support encompassing traffic operational and safety studies, signal warrants, small traffic control and pavement marking design, traffic infrastructure and safety program development, and preparation of associated plans, exhibits, and presentations. Services include traffic volume and turning movement counts, speed studies, crash analysis, road and intersection safety audits, pedestrian and bicycle studies, traffic calming evaluations, safe routes to school assessments, and traffic design coordination. All engineering services must be supervised and sealed by a Florida-registered Professional Engineer. The contract is structured as a three-year term agreement with potential continuing as-needed contracts, with proposals due July 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The County anticipates conducting oral presentations with a minimum of three shortlisted firms. Questions and requests for interpretation must be submitted no later than 14 calendar days after solicitation issuance, site visit, or pre-bid conference, whichever occurs later.

This is an SBE set-aside contract with an estimated value of $4 million, open exclusively to businesses registered with Hillsborough County as an SBE at the time of proposal submission. As-needed study activities are capped at $500,000 per project, while services for projects with construction costs are limited to those not exceeding $7.5 million. Proposers must comply with E-Verify and IMAGE Agreement requirements, maintain professional liability insurance, submit drug-free workplace certification, and enroll in the County's Vendor Compliance System for monthly reporting and SBE subcontractor participation tracking. Small business firms without in-house traffic data collection qualifications must partner with small business data collection vendors. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the County's Euna Procurement system, and evaluation will be scored on four primary criteria (maximum 100 points) supplemented by Volume of Work Score (maximum 5 points based on prior two fiscal years' payments) and Past Performance Rating (maximum 5 points). Proposers must also enroll in the County's ACH payment solution and complete affidavits regarding foreign country access if the contract grants access to personal identifying information.
