1.0 GENERAL/PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1 This is a request for Professional Architectural/Engineering (A/E) Services for the following Medical Examiner Facility Expansion project:

1. Medical Examiner Facility: The project consists of a Facility expansion of the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner facility located at 11025 N 46th St, Tampa, FL 33617. Generally, the project includes but is not limited to adding a new storage warehouse, forensic laboratory, office space, and limited renovations to the existing sallyport. The existing Medical Examiner Facility is a 9.94-acre County owned property (Folio 150509) and consists of several existing structures. The existing Facility’s program includes a Morgue and Autopsy Laboratory (16,000sf), Administration (10,000sf), Toxicology Lab (5,400sf), a Central Energy Plant with an Emergency Generator that provides power for full Facility operations during power outages, and limited site improvements. The existing Facility is a 24-hour operation and must be designed to keep the Facility fully operational during construction. The COUNTY proposes expanding the Medical Examiner Facility by approximately 10,000sf with a new Storage Warehouse (approximately 6,000sf, expandable to 12,000sf), Forensics Laboratory/Office Space (approximately 4,000sf). The project is to include master planning for a future 10,000fs County Building, a 20,000sf expandable to 30,000sf future Warehouse, including future pedestrian and vehicular access, and site storm water retention strategy for the entire property. The project is also to include all associated on-site improvements such as access driveways, parking lot improvements, signage, landscaping, irrigation, storm drainage system, fences, emergency back-up generator, all necessary on-site & off-site utilities, and fire sprinkler system (NFPA 13 system), as required for the expansion.

1.2 The County is soliciting proposals from highly qualified professional architectural firms with substantial and successful experience in the design and construction of medical facilities. The selected firm(s) must be State of Florida licensed architectural firms supported by requisite in-house or consulting licensed engineers. The prime firm, i.e., the firm that will be contracted with, must demonstrate their capability and experience in designing, permitting and construction of medical facilities. The firm will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record of successfully completed projects of similar size and type as that of the subject solicitation. 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 firm.

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.

1.4 Sustainable design and construction will be a requirement for the Projects. The proposing firm’s and team’s capability in sustainable design and construction together with LEED Accreditation and experience in LEED certification will be factors in the evaluation.

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

1.6 The proposing firm must demonstrate capability and experience in design, permitting, and construction of projects of similar type and size. The prime firm’s experience in the following areas will be of importance:
