1.2 The County is soliciting proposals from highly qualified professional architectural firms with substantial and successful experience in the design and construction of public facilities. The selected firms must be State of Florida licensed architectural firms supported by requisite in-house or consulting licensed engineers. The prime firms, i.e., the firms that they will be contracted with, must demonstrate their capability and experience in design, permitting and construction of public facilities. The firms will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record of successfully completed projects. It is the County's intention to solicit responses from as many firms as are interested, to evaluate those responses and to select the most qualified firms.

1.3 The capability and experience of the proposing (prime) firm, i.e., the firm that will be contracted with, will be the most important factors in the evaluation. To this end, the proposer must demonstrate its capability (in terms of personnel) and experience in design, permitting and construction of similar projects. A proven track record of successfully completed projects by the firm must be demonstrated.

1.3 The proposing firm must be the Architect of Record for the project. Architect or Record services cannot be subcontracted.
