Street Lighting Professional Continuing Services Contract

Palm Beach County's Engineering and Public Works Department is soliciting proposals for a three-year Street Lighting Professional Continuing Services Contract (Project No. 2026052), with proposals due November 3, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Consultants must be CCNA certified with Palm Beach County before proposal submission, and the RFP seeks one certified professional engineering firm. The RFP includes a Small Business Development (SBD) price preference as its Affirmative Procurement Initiative, and the package states no mandatory SBE goal. Subconsultants must document Palm Beach County SBE certification or State of Florida M/WBE certification, if applicable.

The scope covers street lighting system design and construction engineering inspection (CEI) services countywide, issued as consultant service authorizations (CSAs) for any County department. No CSAs are guaranteed. The contract term is 36 months from County approval. Pricing is established per CSA using a negotiated contract multiplier applied to salary costs plus reimbursable expenses, and personnel rates are due within two weeks of the selection committee meeting. Required insurance is professional liability of at least $1.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 million aggregate, plus commercial general liability of $500,000. Deliverables, including plans, reports, and electronic files in Microstation and PDF formats, become County property. All consultants and subconsultants must register in the County's Vendor Self Service system. The contract uses the County's standard consulting template, which includes ADA and Office of the Inspector General provisions. Where SBE participation schedules apply, the OSBD schedule instructions in the package govern their completion.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for October 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with in-person and Webex attendance. The tentative shortlist committee meeting is December 9, 2026, and the final selection committee meeting is listed as January 14, 2026. Contract award is anticipated within ten months of the selection committee meeting. Proposals go to the Roadway Production Division, 2300 N. Jog Road, Room 3W-33, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411.
