This file contains a curriculum vitae for George F. Young, a professional in the engineering and surveying disciplines relevant to the City of Plant City's Request for Qualifications for continuing professional consulting services. The document presents Young's qualifications, professional experience, licensures, and expertise across multiple engineering and surveying disciplines that align with the seven available categories: Site Development/General Civil, Transportation, Stormwater and Flood Mitigation, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing, Geotechnical & Materials Testing, Environmental Contamination, and Survey/Mapping & Subsurface Utility Engineering. Young's credentials demonstrate the professional background and expertise necessary to support firms responding to the RFQu, which requires separate submissions for each discipline category of interest with responses limited to 50 pages. Questions regarding the procurement must be submitted by May 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with proposals due by May 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., via the City's e-Procurement Portal, and evaluation committee meetings scheduled for May 27, 2026.

The resulting continuing contracts will be effective upon issuance and extend for three years with renewal options for two additional two-year periods at the City Manager's discretion. Respondents must maintain professional liability insurance of $2 million for three years post-project completion and comprehensive liability insurance of $1 million, along with workers' compensation coverage. Local preference points (1.5% of total score) are available to firms maintaining a physical office within Plant City with at least two full-time employees, current Florida business tax certification, required professional licenses, and establishment for at least six months prior to the submission deadline. No minimum work volume is guaranteed, and the City reserves the right to select multiple firms to ensure adequate capacity and specialized expertise. Fees remain firm for the initial contract term, with renewal period adjustments limited to a maximum 4% increase supported by Consumer Price Index documentation and written justification.
