QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES:

Question 1: What is the anticipated contract amount?

Response 2: Yes, per the RFQ Introduction/Purpose, page 15, Geotechnical and Materials Testing Services will be considered as one discipline.

Addendum 1 – Page 2

Question 6: Page 6, item 32 - Licenses/Certifications/Permits states the successful contractor must show proof of business tax receipt and any other license/certification before performing work, and submit copies of licenses/certs to the purchasing office. Florida DBPR no longer issues hard-copy licenses; registries are now issued and appear online. What would the County consider an acceptable copy of a firm’s registry?

Response 6: The County will accept an official printout or electronic PDF of the firm’s active registration status as displayed on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) website.

The documentation must clearly identify the firm, registration number, current status, and expiration date, if applicable.

Question 7: Tab 3 - Key Team Members requires single-page resumes that do not count toward the page limit for the section. However, the section says resumes should include “copies of professional licenses.” Some staff members may have various licenses/certifications (which may take up several pages). As part of the resume requirement, are the license copies also excluded from this section’s page limit?

Response 7: Copies of professional licenses or certifications submitted with the single-page resumes are not counted for Tab 3:Team Profile, Item 3 – Key Team Members.

Question 8: Who are the incumbents?

Response 8: The current RFQ consultants are Ardaman & Associates Inc. and Universal Engineering Sciences (UES).

Question 9: What is the budget for the upcoming 5-year contract for environmental services?

Response 9: There is no budget set for these services. Please refer to Question and Response No. 1.

Question 10: Page 16, Part 1.D. Proposal Submittal: should the three (3) hard copies be bound, or just secured with a binder clip will be acceptable?

Response 10: Please refer to response No. 5

Question 11: Would Brevard County consider extending the submittal deadline given the holiday this coming week?

Response 11: Yes, Brevard County will add one calendar day for the submittal deadline. The new deadline will be February 20, 2026.

Question 12: Are you able to provide a definition/clarification of the emergency response for the environmental scope?
