Surveying Services for Demolitions

The City of Raleigh's Housing and Community Development – Code Enforcement Division is seeking qualified firms in the Raleigh area to provide residential survey services to support demolition permitting. This Request for Qualifications, issued under the Mini-Brooks Act, focuses on the selection of the most qualified firm based on professional expertise rather than price. The selected consultant will be responsible for producing signed and sealed survey plot plans that include critical technical details such as metes and bounds, site data tables, demolition limits, and the identification of City trees with their critical root zones. All work must comply with North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Standards and specific city tree planting and protection standards. The resulting contract will have an initial term of three years, with a standard payment term of NET 30 days from the date of invoice. Applicants must provide a certified financial statement from a licensed CPA and evidence of North Carolina licensure. Required insurance coverages include Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, and Professional Liability, with the City of Raleigh named as an additional insured. Proposals must be submitted as one signed original, three paper copies, and one PDF on a flash drive, with hourly rates provided in a separate sealed envelope. Selection is based on a scoring system from 0 to 3 across specific criteria, with the City negotiating first with the highest-ranked firm.
