RFQ-25-8_Notice_of_Meeting_Change.pdf

This is a Notice of Meeting Change issued by the Canaveral Port Authority regarding RFQ-25-8 for Professional Coastal Engineering Services for a Continuing Contract. The Selection Committee meeting originally scheduled for September 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM has been rescheduled to 4:00 PM on the same date and location. According to the related solicitation, proposals for this continuing contract are due September 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. The selection committee will review submissions on the rescheduled date of September 8, 2025, with potential oral interviews to follow on September 11, 2025, and a final ranking presentation to the CPA Board of Commissioners on September 24, 2025. The contract will provide professional coastal engineering services for Port Canaveral's inlet management and coastal engineering needs, including inlet sediment management, dredging, navigation engineering, jetty analysis, channel embankment design, beach nourishment, shoreline improvements, and environmental resource assessments. The continuing contract is expected to last five to ten years, with services authorized through individual purchase orders on an as-needed basis.

Qualified firms must demonstrate at least ten years of specific port and maritime coastal engineering experience and possess the majority of required disciplines in-house. The evaluation process will award up to 100 points across five criteria: similar experience (35 points), coastal engineering knowledge (15 points), regulatory knowledge (15 points), organizational capabilities (20 points), and references (15 points). The compensation structure is time and materials-based with reimbursement for direct costs and an unspecified total contract value, with hourly rates and cost details to be negotiated. Comprehensive insurance requirements include commercial general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation with specific minimum coverage limits. Selection does not guarantee work but rather indicates the firm meets minimum qualifications for potential future projects. Potential cost-of-living adjustments may be considered beginning in 2027, subject to CPA approval.
