Professional Surveying & Mapping Services

Volusia County, Florida is seeking professional land surveying and mapping services through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSQ No. 25-SQ-129SR) to establish a three-year continuing services contract with optional two one-year renewals. The county intends to select multiple highly qualified firms to provide comprehensive surveying services, including topographic surveys, property/boundary surveys, construction layout, GPS data collection, right-of-way surveys, wetland surveys, utility infrastructure surveys, and optional specialty services such as aerial ortho-photography, LiDar, mobile data collection, and GIS database management. Proposals are due by July 10, 2025, at 3:00 pm, to be submitted electronically through the county's eProcurement Portal. The evaluation will be conducted using a weighted scoring system across six primary criteria: qualifications/certifications (20%), experience/references (20%), project approach (20%), quality of performance (15%), resources and ability (20%), and financial stability (pass/fail). Respondents must be Florida Licensed Professional Land Surveyors and Mappers, providing comprehensive proposals addressing staff qualifications, project experience, performance history, financial resources, and overall project approach.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, but does emphasize the use of small and minority businesses when possible. The county reserves the right to award multiple contracts based on the evaluation criteria and make awards to the respondents offering the best overall qualifications, not necessarily the lowest price. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the contract allows for flexible compensation methods including fixed fee, time and materials, cost-plus-a-fixed-fee, and guaranteed maximum-not-to-exceed pricing. The estimated project value is approximately $200,000 over a 5-year period, with funding sourced from the county's Approved Capital Improvement budget. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Auto Liability, and Professional Liability, with specific coverage limits and requirements. The contract will be executed through individual task assignments, with the county making no guarantee of the number or volume of projects, reflecting an as-needed service procurement approach.
