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 and design expertise to plan structural elevations, basement fills, and floodproofing measures. The selected contractor will perform all work onsite within the local jurisdiction. The scope of work begins with initial home inspections and site investigations, which require thorough, non-destructive evaluations of properties and their boundaries. The agency requires detailed reports of these findings, including the inspector's qualifications, photographic and video documentation of the home's condition, and assessments 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 templates. Project management and construction oversight represent the final phase of the requested scope. The agency requires a complete scope of work and cost estimation for the delivery of elevation, foundation, basement fill, and reconstruction projects. This phase demands disciplined scheduling, cost control, on-site supervision, standardized checklists, and a uniform project close-out package. Eligibility is restricted 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.
