This is a floor plan document associated with an architectural services request for qualification issued by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners for the East Lake Community Library Expansion project located at 4125 East Lake Road in Palm Harbor, Florida. The project encompasses the design of an approximately 8,000-square-foot addition to the existing library, consisting of 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 procurement requires comprehensive architectural consulting 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 written questions due by 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 no renewal options specified.

The procurement utilizes a 1,000-point scoring system potentially increasing to 2,000 points with oral presentations, allocating points for firm ability and qualifications (425 points), project experience and past performance (375 points), volume of previous County work (50 points), and minority business status and Pinellas County Small Business Enterprise certification (125 points). Selected 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. Compensation is structured as a lump sum fee distributed across seven defined tasks, though no specific contract amount is disclosed. The project includes potential future considerations such as a two-level parking garage, rooftop solar panels, and disaster relief center capabilities. Contractors must maintain professional liability insurance throughout the contract term and for two years beyond final project acceptance and must be registered with E-Verify and compliant with all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
