Landfill Topographic & Aerial Survey Services

Escambia County Waste Services Department is seeking certified surveyors to provide comprehensive topographic and aerial survey services for the Perdido Landfill site located at 13009 Beulah Road in Cantonment, Florida. The procurement requires six survey flights annually across approximately 378 acres, with specific deliverables including LiDAR surveys, control points, 1-foot contours in .dwg/.shp file formats, Digital Terrain/Surface/Elevation Models, XML point cloud files, and aerial imagery. Surveyors must provide signed survey reports and conduct bi-monthly flights starting immediately upon contract award. The initial contract term is three years (through September 30, 2028), with options to renew for two additional one-year periods. Proposals are due December 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM and must be submitted electronically through the County's e-procurement portal. Evaluation will occur in two phases, with four equally weighted criteria each worth 25 points: Availability & Response Time, Professional Qualifications, Experience in Aerial Data Collection, and Project Costs. The second phase involves interviews with shortlisted firms to determine the final award recommendation.

The contract will be awarded to a single vendor and requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), workers' compensation, business auto liability ($1,000,000), professional errors and omissions ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), and aviation liability coverage for drone operations. Contractors must be certified surveyors with current Florida business authority, valid business tax receipts, and appropriate licensing. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the proposal is limited to 20 pages and must include a detailed organizational overview, local experience documentation, project organization chart, and compliance information. Pricing is structured as a firm fixed-price model with separate pricing tables for fiscal years 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements and multi-year contract suggest a significant financial commitment for ongoing topographic and aerial survey services at the Perdido Landfill site.
