Exhibit B is a disciplinary reference document for the City of Homestead's Request for Qualifications (RFQ #202509) for Professional Architectural and Engineering Services Continuing Contracts in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The RFQ solicits Statements of Qualifications from qualified architectural and engineering firms to establish multiple five-year continuing services contracts on an as-needed basis for projects with construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or professional service fees under $500,000. The scope of services will vary by project and may include architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, electrical, mechanical, land surveying, landscape architecture, environmental services, and specialized disciplines such as asbestos survey and removal, historic preservation, geotechnical services, and construction engineering and inspection. The submission deadline is May 29, 2025, at 2:00 pm EST, with a non-mandatory pre-submittal meeting scheduled for May 8, 2025. The City intends to award multiple firms across different disciplines and will rotate project assignments based on expertise, experience, and current workload.

Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system considering firm qualifications, project team experience, technical certifications, project approach, and minority business enterprise participation. Funding sources may include grants from federal and state agencies such as ARPA, EPA, Florida Department of Transportation, FEMA, and HUD, with all procurement subject to 2 CFR Part 200 and applicable 24 CFR provisions. Respondents must be licensed in Florida, comply with federal regulations, and submit mandatory documentation including ADA Nondiscrimination Statements, Business Entity Affidavits, Debarment Certifications, Drug-Free Workplace Program Affidavits, and E-Verify compliance forms. The City of Homestead is an Equal Opportunity Employer that actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises, Women's Business Enterprises, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises; however, local preference provisions under City Code Section 2-411(a) do not apply to this RFQ.
