Surveying & Mapping Services Continuing Contract

The City of Fort Myers, located in Lee County, Florida, is soliciting professional qualifications from Surveying and Mapping Consultants to establish a Surveying and Mapping Services Continuing Contract under the State of Florida Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). This three-year contract with potential two one-year renewals will provide as-needed professional services including field topographic and boundary surveys, aerial surveys, GIS surveys, GPS surveys, map creation, legal descriptions, easement documents, and public records research. Consultants must have been in business for at least three consecutive years and hold necessary Florida licenses. The solicitation was released on October 2, 2025, with questions due by October 17, 2025, and submissions required by November 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm. A selection committee will evaluate submissions, potentially conduct interviews, and recommend award to City Council, with a proposed approval date of December 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely include the firm's qualifications, experience, past performance, and technical approach to surveying and mapping services.

The procurement includes provisions for local and minority business enterprise preferences, with the Florida Department of Transportation operating a race-neutral Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program featuring an overall 10.54% DBE goal. While DBE participation is not mandatory for contract award, consultants are encouraged to identify and utilize DBE subcontractors. The contract will be awarded on a not-to-exceed basis, with compensation calculated based on actual hours worked by professional personnel at predetermined hourly rates, plus reimbursable expenses. Consultants must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including professional liability, environmental/pollution liability, and workers' compensation, with specific minimum coverage amounts. The City reserves the right to award multiple contracts and to request services as needed, with no guaranteed minimum quantity of work. Contractors must also comply with various federal and state regulations, including E-Verify requirements, non-discrimination policies, and specific provisions related to lobbying activities and labor standards.
