Open-Ended Surveying Services

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is soliciting open-ended surveying design services through an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity arrangement to support small, miscellaneous construction and operational projects on its campuses in Rowan and Cabarrus Counties, North Carolina. The contract has a one-year base term with an optional one-year extension, and up to two firms may be selected to provide services on an as-needed basis. Individual project fees are capped at $36,000, with a total annual funding limit of $150,000 per firm, resulting in a maximum theoretical contract value of $300,000 over the full term. Services must be performed on-site at college facilities and require strict adherence to the North Carolina State Construction Manual, the State Construction Office’s Site Preparation and Grading Criteria, the College’s Facilities Design Manual, and all licensing standards set by the NC Board of Examiners for Engineers & Surveyors. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal and must include a letter of interest limited to one page, a detailed design approach for informal projects, three one-page project examples with cost and duration data, a Gantt chart schedule, three letters of recommendation from prior education clients, resumes of proposed surveyors and administrators, a list of key sub-consultants, valid HUB certification documentation, and signed copies of all issued addendums. Evaluation is entirely non-price based, with technical merit accounting for 100% of the scoring, weighted across nine factors including expertise in educational facilities, knowledge of sustainable design and CPTED, proficiency in AutoCAD, BIM, and LIDAR, understanding of the College’s design standards, staff qualifications, proposal quality, and local familiarity. HUB certification provides up to two additional evaluation points but is not a mandatory requirement. Firms must be licensed in North Carolina and active in the state’s vendor portal; no federal registration such as SAM.gov or FAR clauses apply. All submissions must be in PDF format, and hard copies will result in automatic disqualification. The primary point of contact is Ronda Holland, reachable via email at [email hidden].
