This document is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) response from Boggs Engineering submitted to the City of Plant City, Florida, for professional consulting services continuing contracts under Florida Statutes Section 287.055. The City seeks qualified firms to provide on-call engineering and surveying support across seven discipline categories: Site Development/General Civil, Transportation, Stormwater and Flood Mitigation, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing, Geotechnical & Materials Testing, Environmental Contamination, and Survey/Mapping & Subsurface Utility Engineering. Services cover planning, design, permitting, bidding, construction administration, and related work for infrastructure and capital improvement projects with estimated construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or study costs not exceeding $0.5 million. The question submission deadline was May 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with proposals due by May 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., via the City's e-Procurement Portal. Evaluation committee meetings were scheduled for May 27, 2026. The resulting contracts extend for three years from issuance, with renewal options for two additional two-year periods at the City Manager's discretion.

Respondents must maintain professional liability insurance of $2 million for three years post-project completion, comprehensive liability insurance of $1 million, and workers' compensation coverage, along with compliance with E-Verify employment verification requirements and all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Fees remain firm for the initial contract term, with renewal period adjustments limited to a maximum 4% increase supported by Consumer Price Index documentation and written justification. Local preference points (1.5% of total score) are available to firms maintaining a physical office within Plant City with at least two full-time employees, current Florida business tax certification, required professional licenses, and establishment for at least six months prior to submission. No minimum work volume is guaranteed, and the City reserves the right to select multiple firms to ensure adequate capacity and specialized expertise.
