The solicitation emphasizes small business participation through the Office of Business Opportunity & Exchange (BOeX) program, requiring respondents to demonstrate good faith efforts to engage certified small business firms in meaningful roles consistent with their capacity and expertise. Each task order issued will be reviewed and evaluated for BOeX program goals to maximize small business participation. Respondents must possess a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in Florida and provide references from similar contracts within the past five years. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability coverage of $5 million per occurrence, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability. The Capital Improvement Program for MCO totals $5.92 billion for 2025-2030, with ORL's CIP at $84.15 million, funded through FAA grants, Passenger Facility Charges, Authority Funds, bonds, and federal discretionary grants. The evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring methodology across seven categories, including executive brief and team qualifications, key personnel qualifications, work location, contract management approach, airport planning services approach, quality control, and financial/insurance disclosures. The highest-ranked responsive respondent will be selected subject to successful negotiations and funding availability.
