This is a site plan document for the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners' East Lake Community Library Expansion project located at 4125 East Lake Road in Palm Harbor, Florida. The project involves architectural consulting services for an approximately 8,000-square-foot addition to the existing library, comprising a 3,650-square-foot ground floor addition on the east end of the building and a 4,350-square-foot second floor addition above the new ground floor and a portion of the existing 2017 addition. The Request for Qualification (RFQ), issued under Florida Statute 287.055 (Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act), requires selected firms to provide comprehensive architectural services including programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, specifications, bid evaluation, permitting, and construction administration. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for December 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with a written questions deadline of December 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Proposals must be submitted by January 8, 2026, at 3:00 PM through the OpenGov procurement website. The contract term spans 1,200 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with compensation structured as a lump sum fee across seven defined tasks.

Evaluation will utilize a 1,000-point scoring system (potentially up to 2,000 points with oral presentations), with allocations for firm ability and qualifications (425 points), project experience and past performance (375 points), volume of previous County work (50 points), and 125 points for minority business status and Pinellas County Small Business Enterprise certification. Proposing firms must submit current SF-330 forms, proof of Florida business licensure, professional certifications, and insurance documentation demonstrating professional liability coverage of at least $2,000,000. Firms must be registered with E-Verify and provide references from at least four customers. The County reserves the right to review and reject subconsultants, and contractors must maintain professional liability insurance throughout the contract term and for two years beyond final project acceptance. The site plan document provides visual details supporting the design specifications for the expansion, which may include future infrastructure improvements such as a two-level parking garage, rooftop solar panels, and disaster relief center capabilities. No specific contract amount is disclosed in the procurement documents.
