Master Services Agreement for Miscellaneous Capacity & Safety Improvements

Seminole County Department of Public Works/Engineering Division is seeking two qualified consultants to perform Miscellaneous Capacity & Safety Improvements through Professional Services solicitation PS #4720-23/RTB. The procurement focuses on providing comprehensive professional traffic and transportation services, including roadway improvement evaluations, benefit/cost studies, traffic studies, grant application assistance, traffic signal design, transportation modeling, and Vision Zero Action Planning. Proposers will be evaluated based on four key criteria: Qualifications of Proposed Team (35% of total points), Project Understanding/Project Approach (30%), Similar Work Experience (30%), and Location of the Firm (5%). The solicitation was released on November 9, 2022, with a question submission deadline of December 4, 2022, and a proposal submission deadline of December 14, 2022, at 2:00 pm. Regional firms located within Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, or Volusia Counties will receive additional points in the evaluation process. The county reserves the right to make multiple awards and will select proposals providing the best value based on the comprehensive evaluation criteria.

The contract is structured as a two-year Master Services Agreement with options for three successive one-year renewals, allowing Seminole County to retain consulting services through individual work orders. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation includes FEMA requirements that mandate compliance with federal regulations covering equal employment opportunity and civil rights. Contractors must use the E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility and maintain specific insurance coverages, including professional liability ($1,000,000), commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and business auto policy. The agreement does not guarantee a specific number of projects, and Seminole County retains the right to contract with other parties for similar services. Compensation will be structured on a fixed fee or time basis with reimbursable expenses, with specific labor rates and pricing to be detailed in individual work orders. The procurement appears to have no predetermined budget range, with compensation determined by the specific scope of each individual project work order.
