Platting Services Continuing Contract

The City of Fort Myers, located in Lee County, Florida, is seeking professional qualifications from Surveying and Mapping Consultants to provide Platting Services through a continuing contract under the State of Florida Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). The contract will span five years, beginning on the date of final signature, with consultants responsible for comprehensive platting services including regulatory compliance review, survey and plat comparison, legal description verification, mathematical closure analysis, and providing red-line comments. Consultants must be Professional Surveyors registered in Florida, capable of supporting the city's ongoing development, which has experienced a 12% population increase between 2020 and 2022 and a $5.0 billion tax base expansion. The solicitation was released on May 16, 2025, with a question submission deadline of June 4, 2025, and a submission deadline of June 16, 2025. The evaluation will be points-based, allocating 32% to project approach, 50% to firm experience and personnel qualifications, 13% to Minority Business Enterprise compliance, and 5% to local vendor preference. A selection committee meeting is scheduled for June 30, 2025, with potential presentations on July 18, 2025, and proposed City Council approval on August 4, 2025.

The procurement includes specific set-aside designations and compliance requirements, notably a 15% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal and provisions for local vendor preference. Companies can claim additional points for having a physical office within Fort Myers (5 points) or Lee County (3 points), contingent on holding a valid Lee County Business Tax License for at least six months prior to proposal submission. Contractors must also comply with various federal and state regulations, including E-Verify requirements, Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions, and restrictions on contracting with foreign entities of concern. The contract does not guarantee a minimum amount of work, and the city may utilize multiple consultants as needed. Additional compliance documents include an Human Trafficking Affidavit and a Section 287.138 Affidavit addressing foreign entity restrictions. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation indicates the contract will support the city's ongoing development and infrastructure needs, with the potential for multiple awards based on consultant qualifications.
