About this file
This is an AIA Document B101, a standard architectural services agreement template, related to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Melbourne Airport Authority (MAA) in Brevard County, Florida for professional design services supporting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) system renovations at Melbourne Orlando International Airport. The project scope encompasses comprehensive redesign and replacement of the terminal's MEP systems, which are original to the facility's 1989 construction. The design services will address a new central energy plant including chillers, cooling towers, pumps, tanks, and building automation systems, along with new electrical distribution equipment, ductwork, and piping systems across multiple terminal areas. Proposers must submit one original and six physical copies of qualification data plus an electronic PDF copy by 2:00 PM EST on January 8, 2026. The Selection Committee will distribute submittals on January 15, 2026, with final rankings due by January 28, 2026, and Melbourne Airport Authority Board approval scheduled thereafter. The first phase of design must be completed with construction bids received by February 27, 2026.
The overall MEP renovation project carries a proposed budget of $10,000,000 to be executed in multi-phase, multi-year stages, with the first phase funded by a $3,500,000 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant covering all design costs and initial chiller plant work. Compensation will be negotiated on a fee basis following firm selection. Qualified proposers must demonstrate a minimum of eight years of experience in similar work and provide references from at least three successful prior projects. Evaluation criteria include references (10 points), local knowledge (10 points), and technical knowledge (18 points). The RFQ does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises and explicitly encourages combining firms with complementary expertise rather than requiring all qualifications within a single firm. Proposers must maintain appropriate Florida professional licenses, provide proof of required insurance coverage, and complete compliance forms including non-collusion statements and E-Verify acknowledgments.
