City of Ocoee 150 North Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL. 34761 Request for Qualifications CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING & INSPECTION (CEI) SERVICES FOR ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION AND DEBRIS MONITORING RFQ-1101-0-2011/JT The City of Ocoee will receive sealed bids/proposals from qualified firms to furnish the goods and/or services identified in the specifications document. Scope of Work: The City of Ocoee, Florida, in conformance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA), Florida Statutes Section 287.055, et seq., and the policies and procedures of the City of Ocoee (City), is soliciting statements of qualifications from professional engineering firms or individuals (consultants) that are interested in providing construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for federally funded roadway construction projects and debris monitoring. The anticipated work would be the result of funding availability from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Local Agency Program (LAP) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in the case of federal aid highway construction, and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in the case of debris monitoring associated with declared disasters. No specific project has been identified at this time. The requested services are to be provided on an as-needed basis.2. The City intends to award one or more contracts to the consultant(s) deemed to be the most highly qualified to perform the required services. In determining whether a consultant is qualified, the City shall consider such factors as the ability of professional personnell familiarity with federal-aid requirementsl whether a firm is a certified minority business enterprisel past performancel willingness to meet time and budget requirementsl and recent, current, and projected competing project workload of the jfirm. The term of the contract shall be one (1) year with up to four (4) automatic one-year renewals and an optional one-year extension.3. Due to the special nature of the project, responses will only be accepted from consultants that have a Dun and Bradstreet (D-U-N-S) number and are pre-qualified by FDOT in the following work types: 10.1 Roadway Construction Engineering Inspection 10.2 Construction Materials Inspection 11.0 Engineering Contract Administration & ManagementInformation on how to obtain a D-U-N-S number, should a responding firm not have such an identifier, may be found at http:csmallbusiness.dnb.com/establish-your-business/12334338-1.html. The D-U-N-S number must be listed in the submittal. Any subconsultant included in a submission must also provide a D-U-N-S number.4. The special knowledge required to satisfy the requirements of FEMA, FHWA and LAP for inspection, oversight, reporting, and other aspects of roadway construction projects will be a major part of the work for the selected consultant. The required reporting includes monthly submittals of information about the agency itself, its contractors and consultants, and their subcontractors and subconsultants, and extends to payroll certification, contractor employee training, equal employment opportunity compliance, and many other concerns. It will be the responsibility of the selected consultant to prepare all required reports, and to provide other supporting services in addition to the normal CEI services normally associated with roadway construction projects. Debris monitoring activities require the selected consultant to supply and use a relatively advanced electronic data system in meeting several federal requirements. Failure to comply with all requirements could subject the City to loss of federal funds. The City strongly encourages respondents to be familiar with these various requirements and will give considerable weight to the qualifications statement submittals related to these elements of the work.
