Commercial and Residential Elevating and Floodproofing Engineering and Design Services

The City of Norfolk, Virginia, requires professional engineering and design services for commercial and residential elevating and floodproofing projects. The agency is seeking to address flood vulnerability by securing qualified engineering firms to design structural elevations, basement fills, and floodproofing solutions. The selected contractor must perform all work onsite within the local jurisdiction. The scope of work begins with an initial home inspection and site investigation consisting of a thorough, non-destructive evaluation of each property and its boundaries. The agency requires a detailed report of these findings, which must include the inspector's qualifications, photographic and video documentation of the home's condition, and a comprehensive assessment of all site features such as driveways, landscaping, and adjacent structures. For the design delivery phase, the agency requires the development of structural elevation plans, basement fill designs, and floodproofing designs utilizing industry-standardized design templates. The project also covers construction and project management services to oversee the execution of these designs. The agency requires a complete scope of work that details the costs, scheduling, cost control measures, and on-site supervision for elevation, foundation, basement fill, and reconstruction projects. Deliverables for this phase must include standardized checklists and a uniform close-out package to ensure quality control. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore, United States organizations. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget and cost structure for these services. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 6, 2026, and final responses may be submitted digitally via email or online.
