CEI Services – Angel Lakes Sidewalk and Drainage Improvements

The City of Jacksonville is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to provide Professional Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for the Angel Lakes Sidewalk and Drainage Improvements Project (Project No. 010977), with proposals due July 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. A 20 percent JSEB (Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business) participation goal applies. Questions are due July 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.; no pre-bid conference is scheduled.

The scope encompasses design-phase constructability review, pre-construction services, construction inspection, contract administration support, materials sampling and testing coordination, schedule and payment review, utility coordination, documentation of construction activities, as-built and closeout support, and warranty-phase services. The CEI consultant will ensure construction compliance with approved plans, specifications, permit requirements, and applicable standards.

Mandatory minimum requirements include Florida professional engineering licensure, designation of a Lead CEI Professional, proper business registration with the Florida Department of State, and compliance with response format requirements. Responses are limited to five sections (Title Page, Cover Letter, Required Forms, Proof of Minimum Requirements, and Statement of Qualifications) with a 12-page written limit on qualifications.

The City will award to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible bidder using a 100-point qualifications-based selection methodology. Scoring emphasizes personnel qualifications and experience (30 points), firm's demonstrated experience on similar projects (10 points), understanding of project requirements and approach (10 points), staffing capacity and availability (10 points), record of successful performance and client satisfaction (10 points), commitment to the JSEB Program (10 points), and volume of prior City work as a minus factor (20 points). No pricing information is requested in the response; price discussions occur only with the top-ranked proposer during negotiations. The City will own all work product and intellectual property developed under the contract. The agreement remains in effect until completion and acceptance of all authorized CEI services, including warranty-phase services.
