Description
The City of Wilmington is soliciting qualifications for a master on‑call professional‑services contract to provide structural engineering and related design services on a task‑order basis. The agreement will cover a broad range of infrastructure projects—including bridge rehabilitation, riverwalk bulkheads, retaining walls, post‑storm assessments, and heavy‑marine structure inspections—and may involve ancillary services such as geotechnical design, surveying, utility coordination, and construction management. The contract will be three years in length with the possibility of two one‑year extensions, and compensation will be on a fixed‑fee basis per task order. The solicitation emphasizes experience with municipal projects, strong technical capability, capacity to respond to on‑call demands, and a demonstrated commitment to minority‑ and women‑owned business participation.
• Scope includes structural design, heavy‑marine construction, public involvement, geotechnical and surveying services, permitting, and construction‑phase support.
• Qualification‑based selection; the City expects to award to 2‑4 firms; no award has been made yet.
• Federal funding (FEMA) imposes additional clauses (Buy‑America, Davis‑Bacon, debarment, etc.) and requires comprehensive insurance and indemnity provisions.
