Exhibit B is a disciplines 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 seeks Statements of Qualifications from professional architectural and engineering firms to establish multiple five-year continuing services contracts for projects with construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or professional service fees under $500,000. Covered service disciplines include architecture, engineering (civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing), land surveying, landscape architecture, environmental services, traffic and transportation, historic preservation, geotechnical services, stormwater management, communications, site assessments, and Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services. 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 continuing contracts to multiple firms on an as-needed basis, with project scope, size, and complexity varying by specific project needs.

Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system considering firm qualifications, project team experience, technical certifications, project approach, previous similar projects, and minority business enterprise participation. The City of Homestead, as an Equal Opportunity Employer, actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women's Business Enterprises (WBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). No specific contract value is stated; however, the cumulative value over the five-year contract period could be substantial given the project cost parameters. Potential funding sources include grants from federal and state agencies such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), EPA, Florida Department of Transportation, FEMA, and HUD. All procurement and contracting must comply with federal regulations including 2 CFR Part 200, 24 CFR Parts 85 and 570, and applicable provisions. Respondents must be licensed in Florida and submit mandatory compliance documentation including ADA Nondiscrimination Statements, Business Entity Affidavits, Debarment Certifications, Drug-Free Workplace Program Affidavits, and E-Verify compliance documentation. The local preference typically provided by City Code Section 2-411(a) will not apply to this RFQ.
