The City of Orlando is requesting Qualification Statements from Florida-registered professional engineering consultants to provide transportation engineering and planning services for the Safe Speeds Lab project, RQS27-0008, with submissions due November 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The project is funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fiscal Year 2025 Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant. Respondents must be registered with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation under Florida Statutes Section 471.023 to provide engineering services as of the submission deadline.

The scope encompasses supplemental planning and preliminary engineering supporting Orlando's Vision Zero Action Plan across approximately 40 miles of city-maintained roadways. Deliverables include a data-driven Speed Management Plan, quick-build demonstration activities, public outreach and coordination, existing-conditions analysis, proposed speed management networks, engineering recommendations, and policy development. Work is structured in a Base Phase addressing supplemental planning and preliminary engineering, and Phase 1 addressing design and implementation of quick-build demonstration projects.

Respondents must hold professional liability and errors and omissions insurance and submit a 50-page maximum qualification statement including W-9 forms, federal SF 330 forms demonstrating past project experience, personnel qualifications, subconsultant information, project references, insurance and financial documentation, and federal and state compliance certifications. The City will short-list a minimum of three respondents for presentations before an advisory committee, which will rank firms for final selection and contract negotiation. Compensation will be negotiated following selection with a maximum salary multiplier rate of 3.00 without Chief Financial Officer approval. The awarded firm must submit a truth-in-negotiations certificate and comply with comprehensive federal funding requirements including Equal Employment Opportunity, anti-kickback, Davis-Bacon Act, Title VI Civil Rights Act, E-Verify, debarment certifications, environmental regulations, and domestic preference mandates. Questions are due October 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Submissions will open virtually on November 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
