Land Surveyors Expert Witness - UPDATED

The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, specifically the Tennessee Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors, is conducting an informal solicitation to procure expert review and witness testimony services from licensed land surveyors. The procurement seeks up to two contractors to support the Board's regulatory oversight of the land surveying profession, with primary responsibilities including expert analysis of complaint case materials, compliance assessment with applicable laws and rules, and potential administrative hearing testimony. Eligible contractors must be licensed land surveyors in good standing, possess a minimum of ten years of professional experience, maintain continuous Tennessee residency for at least five years, and demonstrate a clean disciplinary history. The evaluation process will involve a review committee scoring submissions across three categories: mandatory requirements (pass/fail), general qualifications and experience (30 points), and technical qualifications, experience, and approach (70 points). The solicitation response deadline is October 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with a proposed contract start date of December 15, 2025, and a planned contract term of 60 months.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Compensation for the contract is structured on a per-review and per-hour basis, with a maximum contract liability of $25,000.00. Services will encompass case review, formal hearing preparation, and expert witness testimony. No information is provided regarding incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. Contractors will be compensated for their expert services, with payment contingent upon the complexity and time invested in case reviews and potential hearing participation. The procurement appears open to qualified individual land surveyors who meet the stringent professional experience and residency requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
