(Range):
On-call Support for Land Surveying Services RFI 6263
$1-10 million
Work Location:
PG&E Service Area
Deadline:
March 20, 2013
Contract Opportunity Description:
The purpose of this RFI is to identify and seek information from companies interested in
providing on-call land surveying support services throughout PG&E’s service territory for the
next three to five years. Specifically, we are looking to add a number of new to a new Master
Service Agreement list so our Land Department can issue Contract Work Authorizations for
projects requiring additional land surveying support as needed. The work may include, but is
not limited to route surveys, property surveys, control surveys, engineering surveys,
deformation surveys, planimetric and topographic surveying and mapping including
overhead and underground facilities, linear feature staking, photogrammetric mapping,
remote sensing, and LiDAR scanning.
Contractors may be required to provide plan and profile drawings, topographic mapping,
aerial photography, three-dimensional models, Records of Surveys, FERC and law
investigation exhibits, legal descriptions and plats, and possibly condemnation packages.
Individual firms will not be expected to provide all of these services or offer support
throughout our entire service territory. Our intent is to create a list of regionally qualified
candidates comprised of small local firms and larger organizations so we are able to meet
our supplier diversity goals while ensuring that sufficient staffing exists to cover the breadth
of expertise and depth of staffing we are seeking for future projects.
PG&E is also very interested into how application of new technologies can reduce overall
costs for surveying utility facilities and right of ways. Successful firms will need to
demonstrate high quality accurate survey work at the lowest possible cost to PG&E utilizing
unitized rates.
