Qualified firms must demonstrate extensive experience with municipal building review services, comply with state statutes, and maintain appropriate professional licenses. The proposal evaluation will be weighted across four key criteria: qualifications (40%), approach (40%), statement of work (15%), and exceptions to RFP terms (5%). Critical dates include a non-mandatory pre-conference meeting on March 23, 2023, question submission deadline of March 24, 2023, and proposal submission deadline of April 6, 2023 at 3:00 pm. The contract term is 24 months with an option to extend for an additional 12-month period.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded on a competitive basis, with firms able to provide single or multiple services as demand warrants. While specific total contract value is not disclosed, the rate sheets indicate flexible pricing structures with differentiated hourly and fixed unit costs across various service categories, allowing for scalable engagement based on county needs. The procurement supports the county's strategic initiatives focused on public safety, economic growth, and delivering high-quality governmental services. Potential respondents must submit comprehensive documentation including staff resumes, references, and evidence of technical capabilities across building inspection, plan review, and environmental review domains. The on-call nature of the contract suggests that multiple firms may be selected to provide services, with individual task orders issued as specific needs arise within the Building & Development Review Services Department.
