Professional Surveying Continuing Services

Monroe County, Florida is requesting qualifications for professional surveying continuing services, with responses due October 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via the Bonfire electronic platform, with virtual bid opening the same date and time. Monroe County anticipates retaining at least three qualified firms or individuals under four-year continuing-service contracts with no minimum compensation or service volume guaranteed to any awardee; specific projects will be awarded on a task-order basis.

The scope includes boundary surveys, right-of-way determinations, topographic analyses, elevation certificate preparation, and review and interpretation of metes-and-bounds descriptions. All individual projects are capped at construction costs not exceeding $250,000 or, for study activities, professional services fees not exceeding $25,000.

Compensation is based on hourly rates (Attachment B) or a negotiated not-to-exceed amount per task order, with monthly invoicing under the Local Government Prompt Payment Act. The contract term is four years from the effective date, with an option for the County to renew for one additional one-year period.

Respondents must hold current professional and occupational surveying licenses and provide certificates of insurance with Monroe County listed as additional insured. Insurance requirements include General Liability ($500,000 Combined Single Limit), Professional Liability ($500,000 per occurrence / $1,000,000 aggregate), Workers' Compensation (statutory limits), Business Automobile Liability ($300,000 Combined Single Limit), and Employers' Liability ($100,000 Bodily Injury by Accident / $500,000 Disease policy limits).

Evaluation criteria include executive summary, relevant experience and references, services provided, staffing and qualifications of key personnel, and financial information and litigation history, with a maximum of 100 points available. Respondents must submit Non-Collusion Affidavits, Drug-Free Workplace Forms, Public Entity Crime Statements, and certifications regarding scrutinized companies lists and prohibited use of DEI materials. The County reserves the right to reject any and all responses and to waive technical irregularities.
