Prequalification of Continuing Contractors for Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) Services and Geotechnical Engineering Services

The purpose of this RFQ is to establish a pre-qualified pool of consultants who may be invited to participate in future project specific requests as needs arise. It is the intent of the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners to place the pre-qualified firms under the classification of Geotechnical Services and/or Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services. The pre-qualified firms will be assigned work on a task order rotation basis in the majority of instances. CEI services may include, but are not limited to, monitoring the progress and quality of construction work, ensuring construction work meets specifications and required standards, evaluating feasibility and practicality of construction methods, providing construction estimates, and reviewing and evaluating claims related to a construction project. Geotechnical services may include, but are not limited to, setting up material testing, daily monitoring and tracking of construction activities, daily inspection of Contractor's work, coordination with citizens, review of maintenance of traffic (MOT), collect and inventory material records and quantities and all additional services as required by the specific project. Individual projects to be included in the Scope of Work will be miscellaneous in scope, of varied size and complexity as required by Hernando County and in conformance with the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes (Current Edition). The County reserves the right to award multiple Contracts for Construction Engineering and Inspection Services and one or more contracts for Geotechnical Services. Contract to one (1) or more Consultants. This is the CEI Services public project link https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/hernandocounty/projects/225207 .
