Announcement for Professional Land Survey Services for 2026-2028

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services is soliciting Letters of Interest to pre-qualify up to ten firms for professional land survey services on state conservation properties, with Letters of Interest due September 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET. This is a pre-qualification vehicle, not a traditional competitive procurement; selected firms are not guaranteed work in any specific area of scope or volume.

Firms must hold North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors licensure and demonstrate specialized expertise in conservation easement surveys and boundary marking for state compensatory mitigation projects within the past five years. Applicants must maintain good ethical and professional standing in North Carolina, disclose any disciplinary actions within the previous three years, and provide proof of business registration with the North Carolina Secretary of State and vendor registration with the State of North Carolina electronic vendor portal. DBE/MBE/HUB status should be identified in submissions.

The scope includes survey and metes-and-bounds descriptions for land acquisitions or dispositions; conservation area boundary marking and monumentation; reports of survey for easement trespass and injury documentation; and retracement surveys to re-establish conservation easement boundaries and property lines. Work is performed across multiple geographic areas within North Carolina; applicants should specify their operating regions.

The contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals. The total budget estimate for the contract period is $500,000. Letters of Interest must include qualified staff credentials, geographic areas of operation, project references with county deed book information, a photo log from a completed monumentation project, and professional references. Submissions are sent electronically to Kristie.Corson@deq.nc.gov with the subject line "2026 Professional Land Survey Services LOI."
