Resident Project Representative (RPR) Professional Engineering Services- Corrections Security Upgrade

Volusia County Division of Corrections is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from Florida-licensed electrical engineers specialized as Certified Security System Integrator (CSSI) engineers at correctional facilities to provide Resident Project Representative (RPR) services for its corrections security upgrade, with responses due December 10, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Questions are due November 25, 2026. The Florida license is a hard eligibility requirement, and the respondent must maintain all licenses and permits throughout the contract term at its sole cost.

The RPR oversees implementation of detention controls, security surveillance, and access control upgrades at the Volusia County Correctional Facility (88,446 square feet, built 1977) and the Branch Jail (265,266 square feet, built 1986), both in Daytona Beach. TLC is Engineer of Record, and a CSSI company retained by the County will build from the EOR's construction documents. Scope elements include officer station replacement, a new Branch Jail main control room, remodeling of the Correctional Facility main control room, detention-grade doors and hardware, CCTV expansion, POE detention intercoms, access control expansion, network switches, lighting controls, cabling and pathways, and audiovisual systems with electronic workstation consoles.

Exhibit B requires workers compensation with Florida statutory coverage, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, auto liability of $500,000 combined single limit (or hired and non-owned coverage if no vehicles are owned), and professional liability of $2,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 aggregate. The County must be named additional insured, with coverage primary and non-contributory.

One firm will receive an initial three-year term or a term through project completion, whichever is later, with renewals contingent on mutual written agreement. The County pays undisputed invoices within forty-five business days of receipt and may terminate for convenience on thirty days' written notice or for non-appropriation of funds. The County makes the sole best-value determination based on the entire evaluation process. No pre-solicitation conference will be held. Responses must be submitted through the County's eProcurement Portal, and proposals remain open through December 31, 2027 unless withdrawn before award. Respondents must comply with federal E-Verify requirements, Florida public records law, sovereign immunity limitations, ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA standards for internet services, and certify they are not participating in a boycott of Israel.
