DHCD Boundary & Topographic Survey

The District of Columbia's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is seeking professional surveying services for a comprehensive boundary and topographic survey project. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c859e2829eb5d86907213c, was posted on May 15, 2017, with a rapid response deadline of May 19, 2017. The solicitation appears to require a detailed geospatial survey that will document precise property boundaries and topographical characteristics of a specific site or area within the District. Prospective bidders will need to demonstrate expertise in land surveying, proficiency with geospatial mapping technologies, and the ability to produce highly accurate geographic documentation. The short turnaround time suggests an urgent need for precise survey data, which may be critical for infrastructure planning, property development, or municipal assessment purposes. Qualified surveyors must be prepared to deliver comprehensive digital and physical survey documentation within the specified timeframe.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the District of Columbia typically prioritizes opportunities for local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises in its procurement processes. The contract likely allows for participation from professional surveying firms with appropriate licensing, certifications, and technical capabilities. Given the nature of boundary and topographic survey work, respondents will need to demonstrate professional credentials, state licensure, and specialized equipment for geospatial data collection. Although no specific budget range is indicated, similar municipal surveying contracts in urban environments can range from $25,000 to $150,000 depending on project complexity and geographic scope. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their technical qualifications, previous municipal survey experience, and ability to meet the compressed response timeline.
