AI overview

The City of Orlando, through its Public Works Department, is soliciting Qualification Statements (RQS26-0522) from qualified consultants registered in the State of Florida to provide professional engineering services for the design and replacement of drainage wells as part of a flood mitigation project. The work is funded by the Orange County Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program, stemming from Hurricane Ian (Pub. Law 117-328), and must comply with 24 CFR Part 570 and 2 CFR Part 200.

The project addresses 13 aging drainage wells located in low-to-moderate income urbanized areas of Orlando, constructed between 1904 and 1960. Many of these wells are clogged, abandoned, or have failing casings. The consultant will conduct initial assessments of accessible wells to determine repair feasibility, obtain necessary permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for replacement wells, complete final designs, and oversee the installation of new wells along with baffle boxes to protect water quality. The work aims to reduce flood stages and mitigate flood risk in landlocked areas where surface water drainage alternatives are limited.

Key milestones include a pre-proposal conference scheduled for August 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM (local time) and a Q&A deadline on August 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM (local time). Qualification statements must be submitted electronically via the City's procurement portal by September 3, 2026 at 6:00 PM (local time). Respondents must be registered with the State of Florida to provide Engineering Services under Section 471.023 of the Florida Statutes as of the submission deadline.

The evaluation will consider the qualifications and experience of the consultant team, understanding of the project scope, methodology, and compliance with funding requirements. The contract term and sample agreement are provided in the attachments. Interested firms should review the full solicitation and all exhibits, including the Drainwell Inspection Reports (Exhibit 1) and the Sample Agreement (Exhibit 2).
