Surveying and Civil Engineering Professional Services For DME

The City of Denton is requesting qualifications submissions for surveying and civil engineering professional services supporting Denton Municipal Electrics' Capital Improvement Plan projects, with submissions due November 18, 2026. The City intends to award a single contract to one firm across all required services.

A Registered Professional Engineer licensed in Texas must be on staff to stamp all reports, and a Registered Professional Land Surveyor licensed in Texas must supervise and seal survey documents. Required service categories include construction staking, field design surveys, topographic surveys, boundary surveys and analysis, and preparation of easement, right-of-way, and metes and bounds exhibits. The scope encompasses deed sketches, plats, design surveys, topographic surveys, easement exhibits, alignment staking, as-built surveys, subsurface utility engineering, and construction verification surveys on the land-surveying side, and feasibility studies, alignment evaluations, site plans, grading plans, drainage studies, infrastructure design, transmission line design, structural design, and construction oversight on the civil-engineering side. The selected firm must coordinate permit processing with the City of Denton Planning Department (specific use permits, variances, plats, environmentally sensitive areas permits, TxDOT permits, floodplain studies, clearing and grading permits, and building permits), represent DME at public meetings, and interface with TxDOT, the City of Denton, and Denton County.

The contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewal periods. Compensation will be negotiated based on standard hourly rates for engineers, technicians, field crew, and other personnel, with potential rate modifications at the start of each calendar year. A total not-to-exceed amount will apply across the full contract term. Evaluation weighting is identification and understanding of City requirements (25%), experience and qualifications (55%), and probable performance (20%). Submissions must include a company overview, proposed team experience and qualifications with Registered Professional Engineer credentials, evidence of service capability, a list of ten successfully completed relevant projects from the past three years with project details and team composition, and three professional references.
