RSQ09-25_PROPOSAL_RECEIPT_LOG.xlsx

The file RSQ09-25_PROPOSAL_RECEIPT_LOG.xlsx is a proposal receipt log for New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission's Request for Statements of Qualifications (RSQ) 09-25 for Continuing Professional Services. The solicitation seeks to establish professional service agreements with qualified firms across multiple disciplines including civil engineering, survey and mapping, electrical engineering, interior building design, and professional construction and engineering inspection services. NSBU intends to select three firms in most categories and two firms in interior design and construction services, with a one-year contract period extendable up to three times. Proposals were due electronically via Vendor Link by February 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a bid opening scheduled for 3:00 PM the same day.

The procurement, governed by Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, will evaluate proposals across six key areas: consultant understanding (20 points), staffing and organization (20 points), office locations (15 points), financial stability and insurance (5 points), past performances and references (20 points), and overall qualifications (20 points). The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, though some responding firms are certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) or Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE). The utility's approach allows for issuing negotiated fee task orders as specific service needs arise, creating a pre-qualified vendor pool across various technical domains to enable quick engagement of specialized professionals for infrastructure and engineering projects.
