24-32-KB Geotechnical Engineering Services

The County of Spotsylvania, Virginia is seeking proposals for professional geotechnical engineering services on an "on-call" basis through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 24-32-KB. The services requested may include geotechnical site and subsurface reconnaissance, exploration and investigation, geophysical investigations, geotechnical instrumentation, laboratory testing, materials testing, geotechnical analysis and design, report preparation, review of geotechnical construction plans, and specialty inspections. The County intends to award contracts to up to three qualified firms, with the primary vendor getting the first chance at each project. Contracts will have a one-year term, renewable for three additional one-year terms. Proposals will be evaluated based on the firm's qualifications, proposed approach, past performance, and oral presentations. The County reserves the right to negotiate with selected firms and award contracts to the most qualified and best suited proposer(s). The deadline for submitting proposals is February 21, 2024.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The County may distribute task orders on a rotational basis, but reserves the right to issue task orders to other firms under the term contracts based on various factors. The County has indicated that task orders may range from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on the complexity of the project, and that task orders will be issued for utility and general fund projects such as new commercial buildings, fire stations, and site development projects. The RFP does not provide specific budget or funding information.
