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. The RFQ seeks Statements of Qualifications from qualified architectural and engineering firms to establish multiple five-year continuing services contracts on an as-needed basis. Services will be provided for projects with estimated construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or study activities with professional service fees under $500,000. Covered disciplines include architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, electrical, mechanical, environmental engineering, landscape architecture, land surveying, communications, geotechnical services, site assessment, project management, stormwater, transit, transportation, water/wastewater, and construction engineering and inspection 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. Awards will be made to multiple firms based on qualifications, and the City reserves the right to rotate project assignments among selected firms based on expertise, experience, and workload considerations.

The City of Homestead will award five-year continuing contracts with project assignments determined on an as-needed basis. Potential funding sources include grants from federal and state agencies, including the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), EPA, Florida Department of Transportation, FEMA, and HUD. All contractors must comply with federal regulations including 2 CFR Part 200, 24 CFR Parts 85 and 570, and state requirements under Florida Statutes Section 287.055. Respondents must be licensed in Florida and complete mandatory compliance documentation including ADA Nondiscrimination Statements, Business Entity Affidavits, Debarment Certifications, Drug-Free Workplace Program Affidavits, and E-Verify compliance documentation. The City actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women's Business Enterprises (WBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). The local preference typically provided by City Code Section 2-411(a) will not apply to this RFQ. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scoring system considering firm qualifications, project team experience, technical certifications, project approach, previous similar projects, and minority business enterprise participation.
