The City of Venice is soliciting statements of qualifications and experience from interested consulting firms to provide planning and engineering services for a transportation and multi-modal master plan and a stormwater master
plan update. It is anticipated that multiple firms will be selected. Firms are not required to contain all disciplines in-house and the City may choose multiple firms
that have the best qualifications for each discipline. The selected firms will serve as professional consultants for an initial three (3) year term and renewable for two (2)
additional one (1) year terms for a total of five (5) years. Selection will be in compliance with Florida Statue, Chapter 287.055, Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). The City is using a Request for Qualifications for this project and will award the contract to the Proposer(s) the City finds, in its sole discretion, best meets the longterm needs of the City. All proposers should ensure that the proposal is both complete and accurate. The City may require additional information or data from any of the Proposers. An evaluation committee that has been appointed by the City will evaluate proposals.
The evaluation committee has been selected by the City to ensure that all proposals are fairly considered. The evaluation committee will perform a review of proposals received from Proposers to determine completeness and responsiveness to the
principal components of the technical, financial and legal requirements of the RFQ. All questions, comments, or concerns about this RFQ must be submitted in writing to Mr. Peter Boers, Procurement- Finance Department, for the City of Venice, Room 204, 401 West Venice Avenue, Venice, FL 34285. Mr. Boers is the only designated
representative of the City authorized to respond to comments, questions, and concerns. The City will not respond to comments, questions or concerns addressed to any person other than Mr. Boers. If the City determines that a particular comment,
question or concern necessitates a global response to all Proposers, the City will issue a clarifying memorandum or addendum. The final day that the City will accept questions will be Monday, January 8, 2024. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and/or all proposals, to waive irregularities and technicalities, and to request re-submission. Any sole response received by the submission date may or may not be rejected by the City, depending
on available competition and the timely needs of the City.

responsive proposal, with a resulting negotiated agreement which is most advantageous and in the best interests of the City.

ability of any proposer to perform the work or service requested. Proposers, their agents and associates shall not contact or solicit any City Council member, City employee, or official regarding this RFQ during any phase of this RFQ.
