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 qualified architectural and engineering firms to establish multiple five-year continuing services contracts to provide on-an-as-needed basis services for projects with construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or study activities with professional service fees under $500,000. The solicitation covers a comprehensive range of disciplines including architecture, engineering (civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, geotechnical), land surveying, landscape architecture, environmental services, communications, and construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services, among others. 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 five-year contract term will be awarded to multiple firms selected through a competitive evaluation process based on qualifications and relevant experience.

The City of Homestead will evaluate proposals using a 100-point scoring system considering firm qualifications, project team experience, technical certifications, project approach, and previous similar projects. Respondents must be licensed in Florida and comply with applicable federal regulations including 2 CFR Part 200 and 24 CFR Parts 85 and 570. Potential funding sources include federal and state grants such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), EPA, Florida Department of Transportation, FEMA, and HUD. The City actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women's Business Enterprises (WBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and will not apply local preference provisions typically available under City Code Section 2-411(a). Contractors must complete mandatory compliance documentation including ADA Nondiscrimination Statements, Business Entity Affidavits, Debarment Certifications, Drug-Free Workplace Program Affidavits, and E-Verify compliance forms. The City reserves the right to select multiple firms for different disciplines and rotate project assignments based on expertise, experience, and current workload.
