This is a Names Only Tabulation Sheet for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of DeLand, Florida for Professional Engineering Continuing Consultant Services for Stormwater Master Planning & Analysis (RFQ-26-01). The City seeks qualified consultants to provide expertise in stormwater infrastructure design, best management practices, mitigation planning, regulatory permitting and compliance, construction support, floodplain design, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, drainage feasibility studies, TMDL and BMAP compliance assistance, and grant-securing support. The RFQ opening date and proposal deadline is August 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM, with questions due August 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Submissions must include four paper copies and one electronic copy. The City will shortlist a minimum of three top-ranked firms for presentations and interviews, with shortlisted firms receiving limited site access prior to presentations. Twelve vendors submitted qualifications: Ardurra Group, Inc. (Miami, FL); Baxter & Woodman, Inc. (Crystal Lake, IL); DRMP, Inc. (Orlando, FL); Florida Technical Consultants, LLC (Boynton Beach, FL); Gale Associates, Inc. (Altamonte Springs, FL); Gemini Engineering & Sciences, Inc. (Jacksonville, FL); Halff Associates, Inc.

(Muscatine, IA); and Tetra Tech Inc. (Orlando, FL).

The procurement is structured under Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (Chapter 287.055, F.S.), meaning final fees will be negotiated after selection rather than competed during the RFQ phase. Evaluation is scored on a 100-point scale with weightings for Project Team and Staff Credentials (30 points), Technical Approach to Projects (20 points), Quality Control (10 points), Related Experience (30 points), and References (10 points). Required insurance includes professional liability of $3,000,000 per claim, workers' compensation per Florida Statutes Chapter 440, and comprehensive general and auto liability with combined single limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with certificates due thirty days prior to work commencement. All contractors must comply with E-Verify, certify drug-free workplace status, and provide certifications regarding scrutinized company lists under Florida Statutes Section 287.135. In case of tie scores, Drug-Free Workplace certification is the first tiebreaker, followed by highest scores in highest-weighted criteria, then lot drawing.
