City Surveyor Consultant Services

The City of West Sacramento is requesting proposals for City Surveyor Consultant Services under an RFP with a proposal due date of October 9, 2026. The City seeks a professional authorized under California Business and Professions Code to supplement existing staff, as it currently has no permanent staff member in this position.

The scope includes reviewing final and parcel maps for correctness prior to recordation; rendering professional opinions on tentative maps and lot line adjustments; preparing boundary descriptions and plats; conducting field surveys; performing GIS-related work; and meeting with professional consultants, City staff, and others involved in the mapping process. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience providing surveyor services to public agencies in California. Mandatory qualifications include proof of proper business licensure, professional certifications, insurance as outlined in the City's Insurance Checklist, a W-9 form, and debarment certification.

The initial contract term is three years, with the City reserving the right to extend for up to two additional one-year terms, for a maximum of five years. All cost proposals must be all-inclusive with no additional charges for travel time, expenses, telephone costs, or copying, and pricing must remain accurate for three years. Proposals must include a Schedule of Values with hourly rates for each service and any proposed subcontractors. Proposals are limited to fifteen pages and must be submitted electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal.

Evaluation criteria weight cost at 18.2 percent, with remaining points allocated to proposal transmittal letter (9.1 percent), proposer qualifications and experience (18.2 percent), proven ability (22.7 percent), technical approach (13.6 percent), and acceptance of the City's Standard Contract for Services (18.2 percent). Questions are due September 24, 2026. The City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and is not obligated to award based on lowest cost.
