Engineering Continuing Services – Stormwater

The City of Bradenton, Florida, has issued Solicitation Number 26-013MK seeking qualified professional engineering firms to provide continuing stormwater engineering services on an as-needed basis for an initial three-year term. This solicitation aligns with Florida Statute Section 287.055 and involves creating a Professional Services Library, from which selected firms will be engaged through individual work assignments throughout the contract period. The work will encompass a broad scope of stormwater-related engineering tasks including planning, design, modeling, regulatory coordination, permitting, construction support, GIS mapping, and floodplain management. Service delivery will be task order-based with performance requirements tied to professional standards, state and local regulations, and adherence to project schedules. Work is expected to be completed typically within 30 days of purchase order approval unless otherwise specified. Proposals will be evaluated primarily on the qualifications and experience of the personnel proposed (40% weight), the firm’s past performance and relevant project experience (40% weight), and the overall project approach including management techniques, innovative methods, and public outreach plans (20% weight). Price will factor into the award decision but does not carry a discrete weight, as selection is based on a trade-off process emphasizing quality and capability. The solicitation requires electronic submissions via the City’s OpenGov portal and mandates certifications such as Drug-Free Workplace, Anti-Human Trafficking Affidavit, scrupulous compliance with Florida business registration, and non-collusion statements. Contract terms include provisions for invoicing, termination, assignment restrictions, and contract modifications administered under municipal guidelines, with inspection and acceptance conducted at the destination location within Bradenton, Florida. Key contract clauses govern invoicing timelines, right to audit, termination, and performance completion, though no federal acquisition regulations or pricing details are specified. The City reserves the right to add or delete services and restricts the use of solicitation results for advertising, emphasizing a thorough and competitive selection aligned with local statutes and professional engineering standards.
