CONSULTANT POOL FOR SURVEYING SERVICES

The City of Bayonne’s Law Department is actively seeking qualification statements from highly experienced and certified professional services providers to establish a Consultant Pool for Surveying Services. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) aims to secure expertise in various critical surveying disciplines essential for an urban and waterfront municipality. The comprehensive scope of work may include, but is not limited to, topographic surveys utilizing conventional and LiDAR technologies, cadastral surveys involving the establishment of property boundaries, easements, and rights-of-way, subsurface utility investigations through ground penetrating radar, aerial photogrammetry, precise construction stakeout, and detailed “As-Built” surveys and certifications. This initiative aligns with the New Jersey Local Unit Pay to Play Law, ensuring a fair and open contracting process for these vital municipal services, with contract terms spanning January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The City may select one or more pre-qualified firms to award contracts on an as-needed basis. Prospective contractors must meet stringent general requirements to be considered. At a minimum, responding firms must be duly certified to provide surveying services within the State of New Jersey and must maintain a sufficient staff of New Jersey licensed or certified professionals.
