Pre-Solicitation Notice for Roofing and Waterproofing Consultant Services

Broward County, Florida, through its Facilities Management Division (FMD), is issuing a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for roofing and waterproofing consultant services. The solicitation seeks a qualified firm with a Florida-licensed Professional Architect or Professional Engineer to provide comprehensive building envelope maintenance and capital planning services for all County facilities. Key services include inventorying and inspecting building structures, identifying repair needs, developing specifications and construction documents, and providing project administration. The contract will be an open-end agreement with a two-year initial term and three potential one-year renewals. Evaluation criteria will allocate 100 points across vendor qualifications, project approach, past performance, workload capacity, location preference, time and budget commitment, and previous work volume. The procurement follows the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) and will be submitted electronically through the BPRO bidding system, with specific question submission and response dates to be finalized. Pricing will not be considered during initial vendor evaluation, with unit pricing to be negotiated after consultant selection.

No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise goals are mandated for this solicitation. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, along with professional liability coverage of $2,000,000 per claim and a maximum deductible of $100,000. The project will be entirely funded by County funds, and the Cone of Silence ordinance will be in effect during the procurement process. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation indicates a comprehensive approach to ongoing facilities maintenance and capital planning. The specific budget range is not detailed in the draft documents, but the open-end contract structure suggests potential for multiple project authorizations over the contract's five-year potential duration. Interested firms will need to carefully review the full solicitation documents and prepare responses that demonstrate their technical expertise in building envelope maintenance and consulting services.
