As-Needed Professional Survey Services FY27-FY31 RFQu

The Town of Bluffton, South Carolina, is soliciting statements of qualifications from professional land surveying firms to establish multiple, non-exclusive Master Services Agreements for as-needed surveying services for engineering design purposes. The target start date for these services is December 2026, with an initial contract term of one year and the option for the Town to renew for four additional one-year periods. All work must be certified by a Professional Land Surveyor registered in South Carolina and may include boundary, tree, topographic, utility, and bathymetric surveys, as well as construction stakeouts, as-builts, parcel research, and AutoCAD work. Deliverables are required in both signed hard copy and digital formats compatible with AutoCAD 2010 and 2027. Proposals must be submitted via BidNet Direct by 2:00 pm on December 2, 2026. Selection is based on the best value, evaluated through a point system focusing on the firm's overall profile, relevant experience, references, and a local vendor preference for firms in Beaufort County. Pricing is not a scored criterion but is submitted separately to determine price reasonableness. Awarded firms must comply with various federal wage and hour acts, OSHA standards, and non-discrimination laws, and are required to maintain comprehensive insurance policies authorized in South Carolina. The Town reserves the right to terminate the contract if services do not meet the highest quality standards or fail to conform to specifications.
