Orange County, New York is seeking engineering firms to provide Construction Inspection Services through a Request for Proposal (RFP-DPW04-25) issued by the Department of General Services. The procurement aims to secure engineering consultants for on-site construction inspection across various project types, including site construction, building renovation, bridge and dam rehabilitation, roadway and pavement work, utility installations, and sanitary sewer system improvements. Each selected consultant will be responsible for performing on-site observations of work progress and quality, completing daily inspection reports, maintaining field books, and documenting project changes. Inspectors must be licensed to practice engineering in New York and will typically provide a minimum of 40 hours of inspection per project, with the construction season running from April to November. The contract term is anticipated to be three years, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods. Proposals will be evaluated based on qualifications, project experience, consultant availability, understanding of the scope of work, and cost proposal, with the County reserving the right to contract with up to three firms. The proposal submission deadline is September 24, 2025. The County encourages proposals from certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), providing potential opportunities for diverse business participation. The contract will be non-exclusive, allowing Orange County to contract with other service providers at its discretion. Potential respondents must complete a comprehensive supplier registration process, including submitting an ACH authorization form, supplier/payee application, and Substitute W-9 form. Specific insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation, Automobile Liability, Comprehensive General Liability, and Professional Liability coverage with predetermined minimum coverage amounts. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the County will negotiate rates with selected firms and require detailed pricing for personnel and reimbursable expenses covering the years 2019-2024. Consultants must also have a written sexual harassment prevention policy and be prepared to handle potential confidential information in compliance with county requirements.
