Continuing Professional Services for Engineering and Design Related Services

County intends to retain five teams of consultants to provide Engineering and Design Services as needed to assist in executing and expediting projects in the DTPW Plan, including, but not limited to: preparing sets of contract documents including plans, specifications, supporting engineering analysis, calculations, and other technical documents in accordance with County and FDOT policy, procedures and requirements. Design standards to be utilized by Consultants, as applicable, include MUTCD, AASHTO, Florida Design Manual, Florida Greenbook, and the FDOT Speed Zoning Manual for Highways, Roads and Streets in Florida. These contract documents will be used by contractors during construction and will be used by the County, or its Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) representatives, to act as the County Engineer of Record (EOR) to aid with shop drawings approval, inspection and final acceptance of projects. The selected consultants will be responsible for all specific phases of a project through implementation to achieve quality construction documents, cost, and schedule goals. Additional responsibilities may include obtaining all permits, ensuring that all required project components are included in the development of the contract documents, and that the project can be built, as designed, to specifications. In addition, the selected consultant will be responsible for applying for and obtaining all required environmental permits, completing all assessments required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act using qualified professionals to coordinate with regulatory and resource agencies for permitting.
