Various City Projects with William M. Coleman and Associates, Inc. Dunaway Associates, L.P., Fulton
Surveying, Inc., Gorrondona and Associates, Inc., JEA/Hydro Tech Engineering, Inc., Pacheco Koch
Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Lina T. Ramey and Associates, Inc., with an Aggregate Fee Not to Exceed
$500,000.00 Annually Per Firm
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute requirement contracts to
provide land surveying and other related services with the firms of William M. Coleman and Associates,
Inc., Dunaway Associates, L.P., Fulton Surveying, Inc., Gorrondona and Associates, Inc., JEA/Hydro
Tech Engineering, Inc., Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Lina T. Ramey and Associates,
Inc., for an annual contract with an aggregate fee not to exceed $500,000.00 annually per firm, with an
option at the City's sole discretion for two one year extensions per contract.
DISCUSSION:
Historically, the City has entered into periodic requirement contracts with land surveying firms to provide
services for various City projects. It is anticipated these surveying firms will supplement City staff and
provide flexibility and rapid response to City needs. All of the firms selected are qualified professional
corporations. Funding is provided on an individual project basis.
Staff solicited statements of qualifications and received responses from 37 firms. The 37 submittals were
reduced to seven by the survey superintendant after all were reviewed based upon criteria that were
published in the request for proposals. A selection committee comprised of City staff interviewed each of
the seven firms that were shortlisted. Based upon the interviews and each firms demonstrated
qualifications, the selection committee recommended contracting with each of the seven firms
interviewed.
Staff has negotiated unit prices contained in each contract and believes them to be fair and reasonable.
Staff recommends that each of the seven firms be awarded a contract for a term of 12 months or
$500,000.00 per firm in maximum total annual billing, whichever occurs first.
Five of the seven firms selected are certified M/WBE firms, therefore their participation at the prime level
will contribute to the City's overall M/WBE goal. The five certified firms are Fulton Surveying, Inc.,
Gorrondona and Associates, Inc., JEA/Hydro Tech Engineering, Inc., Pacheco Koch Consulting
Engineers, Inc., and Lina T. Ramey and Associates, Inc.
