Design Services for Dirksen Drive (CR 4162) (US 17/92 to Sunrise Boulevard)

Volusia County is requesting statements of qualifications for design services on Dirksen Drive (CR 4162) widening from US 17/92 to Sunrise Boulevard in DeBary, Florida, under RSQ 26-SQ-108SR, with proposals due July 23, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The County anticipates awarding multiple firms basic contracts and will evaluate proposals under a Cooperative Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) process based on qualifications and experience rather than lowest price alone.

The scope encompasses two phases—a Study Phase followed by a Design Phase—for widening Dirksen Drive from a 2-lane undivided urban minor arterial to a 3-lane undivided typical section configuration to alleviate Interstate 4 congestion. The project involves coordination with the City of DeBary and the Florida Department of Transportation; the County's Right-of-Way Office manages all right-of-way acquisition services. The design must address existing conditions including overhead utilities, superelevated horizontal curves, and pedestrian and trail infrastructure along the corridor.

The initial contract term is two years or until project completion, whichever occurs later, with no renewal options. The County will remit full payment on undisputed invoices within forty-five business days of receipt; invoices unpaid beyond thirty days accrue interest at one percent per month. All responses remain valid through November 23, 2026.

Questions are due July 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. A non-mandatory solicitation opening will occur July 23, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams. Respondents must comply with federal and state requirements including E-Verify verification, public records obligations, and insurance and indemnification provisions. The County reserves the right to require short-listed firms to provide oral presentations and may award multiple contracts or reject all proposals if deemed in the County's best interest.
