This is a professional services proposal submitted by Wood to the City of Plant City, Florida, in response to the city's Request for Qualifications for continuing professional consulting services in engineering and surveying disciplines under Florida Statutes Section 287.055. The proposal addresses one or more of seven available discipline categories: Site Development/General Civil, Transportation, Stormwater and Flood Mitigation, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing, Geotechnical & Materials Testing, Environmental Contamination, and Survey/Mapping & Subsurface Utility Engineering. The services are intended to support on-call planning, design, permitting, bidding, construction administration, and related activities for infrastructure and capital improvement projects with estimated construction costs not exceeding $7.5 million or study costs not exceeding $0.5 million. The original question submission deadline was May 11, 2026, with proposals due by May 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via the City's e-Procurement Portal. Evaluation committee meetings were scheduled for May 27, 2026. The resulting contract will be effective upon issuance and extend for an initial three-year term, with renewal options for two additional two-year periods at the City Manager's discretion.

Wood's proposal demonstrates compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including E-Verify employment verification requirements. The firm commits to maintaining professional liability insurance of $2 million for three years post-project completion, comprehensive liability insurance of $1 million, and appropriate workers' compensation coverage. Pricing terms will remain firm for the initial contract term, with any renewal period adjustments limited to a maximum 4% increase supported by Consumer Price Index documentation and written justification. The proposal qualifies for local preference points (1.5% of total score) if Wood maintains a physical office within Plant City with at least two full-time employees, holds current Florida business tax certification, possesses required professional licenses, and has been established for at least six months prior to the submission deadline. No minimum work volume is guaranteed under this continuing contract arrangement, and the City reserves the right to select multiple firms to ensure adequate capacity and specialized expertise.
