The City of Oviedo in Seminole County, Florida, is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #25-25) to procure Continuing Professional Surveying Services through the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act. The procurement seeks multiple firms to provide comprehensive surveying services including land surveys, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, tree surveys, right-of-way location surveys, legal descriptions, plat and map reviews, title searches, as-built surveys, construction staking, drainage basin analysis, design surveys, construction layout, subsurface utility locations, and GIS grade mapping. Proposing firms must be registered to do business in Florida and have a minimum of five years of experience in the field. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals across six key sections: Introduction and Required City Forms (5 points), Required Documents/Eligibility (15 points), Project Team Experience and Qualifications (30 points), Project Management/Approach (35 points), References (10 points), and Location (5 points), with a total possible score of 100 points. The solicitation was released on March 2, 2025, with proposals due by 2:00 p.m. on April 3, 2025. The City anticipates selecting a minimum of three firms for an initial one-year contract with potential for two additional one-year renewals.

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Compensation will be based on work orders issued, with monthly payments processed upon receipt of invoices. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract structure suggests a potentially significant ongoing engagement for selected firms. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and all proposals and will evaluate submissions to determine responsiveness and responsibility. Proposing firms must comply with various legal requirements, including E-Verify, non-discrimination policies, public records laws, and specified insurance standards. The contract term could extend up to three years, providing potential long-term opportunities for selected surveying service providers.
