Open-Ended Surveying Services

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is soliciting proposals for open-ended surveying design services to support routine and as-needed projects throughout the institution. The College seeks to select up to two surveying firms to provide design services for small, miscellaneous projects, with individual project costs not exceeding $36,000 and a total annual budget cap of $150,000. The base contract period is one year with one possible one-year extension option. Proposals must be submitted electronically in Adobe PDF format to collegeenvironment@rccc.edu by June 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with Ronda Holland serving as the primary contact (704-216-3455). Proposers must be properly licensed to practice surveying in North Carolina and must register as active vendors in the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal prior to submission. The selection committee will evaluate proposals using nine weighted criteria: expertise in educational projects (25%), understanding of renovation and sustainable design (20%), mastery of public facility design concepts (10%), technical expertise in specialized software and methods (10%), familiarity with the College's Facilities Design Manual (10%), staff qualifications (10%), proposal quality (10%), and proximity to the service area (5%). No site visits or bidders conferences are specified in the solicitation.

Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) certified firms are encouraged to apply and may receive up to two additional evaluation points, with one point awarded for HUB certification and up to one additional half-point for each HUB-certified subconsultant. Funding will be sourced from state, local, and/or private funds. The solicitation does not reference any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it identify specific existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration. The total contract value is capped at $150,000 annually, with no single project to exceed $36,000 in surveying design fees. This procurement is limited to projects under $300,000 in total value, positioning it for smaller, miscellaneous institutional projects rather than major capital initiatives.
