About this opportunity
The City of Edgewater is requesting qualifications for Planning Consultant Services under RFQ issued pursuant to the Brooks Act (40 U.S.C. 1101–1104) and Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (F.S. 287.055), with qualifications due September 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via the City's e-Procurement Portal (OpenGOv). Multiple firms will be awarded continuing services agreements; compensation is determined through a separate negotiation process after qualifications evaluation, and no pricing information should be submitted with qualifications per Florida Statute 287.055(4)(b).

Work will be authorized through written Task Assignments with negotiated scopes and hourly rates.

Evaluation occurs in two phases: Phase 1 (October 6) uses point-based scoring across four criteria (proposer qualifications, experience with similar projects, ability to meet schedule and workload demands, and responsiveness and regional presence), each weighted at 25 points for 100 total points. Phase 2 (October 16) consists of pass-fail discussions with at least three shortlisted firms. A notice of recommendation is scheduled for October 20, with City Council selection on November 9. The contract becomes effective upon City Council approval and execution by all required parties.
Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, Automobile Liability of $1,000,000, and Errors and Omissions / Professional Liability of $1,000,000 per claim.
