Photogrammetric and Digital Aerial Mapping Professional Service

Pinellas County is seeking qualified consultants to provide high-resolution aerial photography services through a Continuing Contract for Photogrammetric and Digital Aerial Mapping Professional Services (Contract No. 23-0623-CN). The procurement targets comprehensive aerial imaging solutions, specifically orthogonal and oblique photography, to support critical county functions including land records management, infrastructure management, engineering pre-design, map production, GIS activities, and environmental analyses. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires consultants to meet specifications outlined by the Florida Department of Revenue for aerial photography. Proposals are due by June 13, 2023, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time and must be submitted through the OpenGov procurement website. Evaluation criteria will include firm qualifications, project experience, volume of previous work, minority business status, and small business enterprise status. The contract will have a five-year term with an option for one additional two-year extension, and compensation will be determined on a per-assignment basis using either lump sum fees for well-defined scopes or hourly rates for indeterminate work.

The procurement includes specific requirements for small business enterprise participation, mandating that individual work assignments valued at $50,000 or more must include at least a 10% financial commitment to a certified Pinellas County small business enterprise subconsultant. Proposers must be registered with the Florida Division of Corporations and comply with E-Verify requirements for work authorization. The contract will require comprehensive insurance coverage and adherence to web accessibility guidelines and public records laws. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates an "upset limit" will be determined. Proposers must demonstrate compliance with various regulatory requirements, including maintaining appropriate professional credentials and meeting the technical specifications for aerial photographic services. The procurement appears designed to encourage participation from diverse vendors, with specific considerations for minority and small business enterprises, though no specific set-aside percentages beyond the 10% subconsultant requirement are detailed in the available documentation.
