This solicitation, titled "Civil Engineering Services Continuing Contract" (RSQ 26-012), issued by the City of Fort Myers, Florida, seeks to establish a continuing services agreement with one or more licensed and qualified professional civil engineering firms. The contract will provide civil engineering services on an as-needed basis under task authorizations issued by the City.

Deliverables typically include detailed technical reports, design plans, specifications, bid packages, cost estimates, and project schedules, provided in digital formats such as AutoCAD and GIS. The contract work is limited to City projects within Fort Myers and requires compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including wage and labor laws such as the Davis-Bacon Act and Buy America provisions. The award will be made through a quality-based, trade-off evaluation process emphasizing technical merit and qualifications rather than price, with the highest scores assigned for firm experience and personnel qualifications (46.6%), followed by the proposed approach to the project (38.1%). Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) compliance and local vendor preference also factor into the scoring but to a lesser degree. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single signed PDF document by the specified deadline, with no exceptions for late or alternative submission formats. Contract administration includes detailed invoicing requirements, inspection and acceptance governed by federal and state labor standards, and strict nondiscrimination and equal opportunity obligations. While comprehensive certifications and representations are required, such as MBE status, debarment, and conflicts of interest disclosures, certain typical federal identifiers like UEI or CAGE codes were not provided in the documentation. The contract emphasizes adherence to ethical procurement conduct, cybersecurity standards, and record retention policies. Overall, this continuing contract aims to secure highly qualified civil engineering services supporting diverse infrastructure projects within the City of Fort Myers, ensuring technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and equitable business participation.
