Infrastructure Inspections and Testing Services

The City of Indianapolis is seeking qualified consulting firms to provide construction‑observation inspection and testing services for both storm‑water and transportation infrastructure on private‑parcel developments. The solicitation is a qualifications‑based selection; pricing will be solicited only after vendors are deemed qualified. The contract is a two‑year, zero‑dollar agreement from the City’s perspective, with invoices directed to the project owner/developer. The City expects vendors to field staff certified in construction observation and erosion/sediment control (or equivalent experience) and to make a good‑faith effort to involve XBE (minority‑/women‑owned) partners, with waivers permitted if impractical. • Scope includes on‑site inspection of pipe bedding, manholes, BMPs, grading, curbs/sidewalks/streets, and related testing per DPW and INDOT standards. • Minimum staffing: at least two qualified inspectors per service component, supervised by a licensed Professional Engineer; certifications or equivalent experience required. • Contract term: July 1 2026 – June 30 2028 (2 years) with possible renewal; all billing goes to the developer, not the City. • XBE participation is encouraged; waivers must be submitted with the qualification package if needed. • No pricing is required in the initial submission; cost proposals will be requested after the interview stage.
