Design-Build Services for Horizontal/Civil Engineering Projects

The City of Jacksonville is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from design-build firms for horizontal/civil engineering projects on an as-needed basis under an annual contract, with responses due October 1, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and a pre-bid conference scheduled for September 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams.

Proposers must meet seven mandatory minimum requirements: current Florida contractor licensing, professional engineering authorization, identification of a qualified design-build team, relevant horizontal/civil infrastructure experience within the past five years, insurance capability certification, bonding capability, and current business licenses. The scope encompasses design, permitting, construction, and related services for capital improvement and infrastructure projects including roadway, drainage, stormwater, utility coordination, sidewalk, ADA compliance, intersection improvements, traffic management, site/civil work, retaining walls, culverts, minor structural work, maintenance of traffic, permitting, testing, as-built documentation, and project closeout. Contract performance follows Florida Statutes Section 287.055 and the City of Jacksonville Procurement Code.

Evaluation employs a 100-point multiattribute scoring system: design-build team qualifications (25 points), relevant experience and past performance (20 points), project approach and quality management (20 points), current workload and capacity (10 points), commitment to Jacksonville Small and Emerging Businesses (10 points), volume of work with the City over the past five fiscal years as a minus factor (10 points), and local knowledge of City standards and procedures (5 points). No pricing is evaluated in the initial scoring phase. The contract amount and specific project assignments will be determined through project-specific Design Criteria Packages, scopes, and work authorizations issued by the City on an as-needed basis. Questions are due September 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Responses must be submitted electronically through the City's Oracle 1Cloud Procurement System as a single PDF document with a maximum of 15 pages for the Statement of Qualifications, excluding required forms and documentation.
