1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

The City of Raleigh is seeking multiple-qualified firm(s) with which to enter into Master Services

Agreements (MSA) for the following services:

Raleigh Stormwater Management Program is seeking the most qualified firm(s)

with which to contract for professional on-call Geotechnical & Material Testing,

Surveying, and Construction Inspection & Administration Services

Given our growing workload and level of service for the community, selection of

multiple qualified firms is anticipated that will be able to offer, integrate, and

importantly deliver proven municipal stormwater engineering experience and

related expertise.

Professional services are envisioned to be provided for a timeframe of up to five

years and will be performed under Master Service Agreements (MSA) with

individual Statements of Work (SOW) for specific projects and tasks. During the

course of on-call services, certain on-call projects may require interviews prior to

firm selection(s), if and upon MSA award(s) issuance.

Firms may submit qualifications for either one or both categories.

Category 1 – Geotechnical and materials testing for stormwater projects.

Category 2 – Land surveying for stormwater projects.

Category 3 - Construction Inspection and Administration Services for

stormwater projects.

Firms should be cognizant of and well-qualified to accommodate some important

general themes across each of the various categories of work.

• Efficient and effective utilization of Trimble Unity Construct. (TUC). TUC

is the City’s enterprise project management software system and will be

applied for on-call services that may result from this RFQ.

• Keen attention to component and project delivery including budget

management, schedule management, and quality of work delivered.

The MSA will serve as an umbrella contract under which work will be performed for the City as

needed, on an on-call basis, as described in mutually agreed upon Statements of Work (SOW).

The SOW will provide the specific scope, cost, and schedule for each work assignment under

the MSA.

A general scope of services for the MSA is provided in Section 4 of this document.

All information related to this solicitation, including any addenda, will be posted to the North

Carolina electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) at https://evp.nc.gov/.

All questions related to this solicitation must be submitted in writing (via email) to the following
