Land Surveying Continuing Services

The School Board of Volusia County, Florida, has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 2026-003) for Land Surveying Continuing Services, seeking to select multiple firms to provide land surveying services on an as-needed basis throughout the district. The procurement follows the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA) and State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF), with a negotiated fixed fee compensation method. Required services include certified drawings of property boundaries, legal descriptions, property improvements, and elevations, with deliverables to be provided in printed and digital formats (AutoCAD and PDF). Firms must maintain professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 and be properly registered to practice in Florida, with a preference for previous land surveying experience on occupied school campuses. The RFQ evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring system: experience (35%), past performance (25%), project approach (20%), current workload (15%), and location (5%). Key dates include a pre-submittal meeting on November 6, 2025, RFQ question deadline on November 13, 2025, Consultant Certification Application deadline on December 15, 2025, and submittals due by December 17, 2025 at 3:00 PM EST.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Current incumbent vendors include CPH Consulting, LLC; Daniel W. Cory, Surveyor, LLC; ECHO UES, Inc.; Kuhar Surveying & Mapping, LLC; L&S Diversified, LLC; Sliger & Associates, Inc.; Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corp.; and T2 UES, Inc. Work will be distributed equitably among selected firms based on their locations, workloads, and turnaround times. A current Certificate of Qualification from the School Board of Volusia County Florida is a minimum qualification requirement for both prime contractors and subcontractors. The anticipated contract term is two years, with the possibility of up to three additional one-year renewals contingent upon mutual agreement and satisfactory performance. While specific award values are not detailed, compensation will be negotiated on a fixed hourly rate basis by job category, including rates for registered surveyors, surveying crews, GPS crews, CADD technicians, and clerical staff. The exact volume of projects cannot be determined, as the Five-Year Work Program for fiscal year 2026/2027 has not yet been developed.
