Proposers must demonstrate at least five years of experience, current professional certifications, and extensive local government project experience. The contract will be a three-year agreement with potential for a three-year extension, awarded on a task order basis with compensation structured on fixed hourly rates or per-unit pricing. Evaluation will be based on firm qualifications, project experience, staff expertise, ability to meet schedules and budgets, and potential for minority/small business participation, with a maximum possible score of 102 points.

The solicitation appears to encourage minority and small business participation, though specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents.

While no specific budget range is listed, the professional services agreement limits total liability to $1,000,000 per occurrence and establishes a framework for task-based compensation. The City requires the selected professional to maintain various insurance policies and name the City of Leesburg as an additional insured. The procurement is structured to be a time-saving mechanism for in-house engineers, project managers, and inspectors, providing additional expertise and supporting workload management for municipal infrastructure projects. The contract will be executed through sequentially numbered Task Orders, each including detailed scopes of service, compensation breakdowns, and specific project requirements, allowing flexible engagement of engineering services as needed by the City of Leesburg.
