Description
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.
