This is a Vendor Checklist document issued by Collier County's Procurement Services Division in Florida for the Professional Services Library Request for Professional Services (RPS No. 25-8348). The solicitation establishes a comprehensive professional services library across 17 discipline categories including Architectural Historic Preservation, Aquatics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Technology Engineering. The county intends to award multiple consultants within various disciplines to provide services on an as-needed basis that will supplement in-house professional staff and be available to all county departments and divisions. Proposals are due November 17, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. EST, with evaluation based on four equally weighted criteria: Ability of Professional Personnel (25 points), Past Performance (25 points), Project Approach and Time/Budget Requirements (25 points), and Recent, Current, and Projected Workloads (25 points). The anticipated contract term is five years with a one-year renewal option, and the county will initially shortlist at least three firms and may conduct oral presentations before final ranking by the Board of County Commissioners.

All vendors must submit completed documentation including the Vendor Declaration Statement, Conflict of Interest Certification, Immigration Affidavit Certification, E-Verify enrollment verification, W-9 Form, three to ten reference questionnaires completed using the county's Form 4, proof of Florida business status, all requested licenses and certifications, and acknowledgment of all county terms and conditions, insurance requirements, and IT technical architecture requirements. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including professional liability of $5,000,000 and provide insurance certificates within five days of a Notice of Recommended Award. Individual work orders will not exceed $200,000, and the county will utilize federal funding sources including FEMA and potentially HUD grants. The solicitation encourages participation from disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses and requires compliance with extensive federal regulations including debarment provisions, lobbying restrictions, labor standards, and disadvantaged business enterprise participation requirements. Failure to provide applicable required documents may result in the vendor being deemed non-responsive or non-responsible.
