The document is the Proposal Evaluation Committee Meeting Minutes for RFQ 25-24 issued by the City of Oviedo, Florida, regarding Continuing Professional Hydrogeological Services. The meeting was held on April 17, 2025, to evaluate proposals from six consulting firms for professional hydrogeological services. The contract is for a one-year term with potential two one-year renewals, covering services such as environmental resource permitting, groundwater studies, slope stability assessments, well field monitoring, water well rehabilitation, waste facility closure, feasibility studies, geological characterization, wetlands delineation, and related professional services.

The evaluation committee used a scoring system to rank the proposals, with Ardaman and Associates, Inc. receiving the highest score of 372, followed by Connect Consulting, Inc. at 347, and Barnes, Ferland & Associates, Inc. at 342. The top three firms will be recommended for award at a future City Council Meeting. While specific budget details were not disclosed, the procurement suggests a flexible, ongoing engagement with compensation determined through individual work orders on a fixed-fee or time-basis method. The RFQ requires consultants to be registered with the E-Verify system, comply with non-discrimination policies, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, though no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned.
