About this file

This document is Addendum No. 1 for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the School Board of Volusia County Florida for Architectural Continuing Services (FAC – RFQ No. 2025-001). The RFQ seeks architectural firms to provide continuing services on an as-needed basis for various projects throughout Volusia County, with the intention of selecting multiple architectural firms. The submittal due date is December 16, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST, and the anticipated contract award is scheduled for June 24, 2025. The solicitation follows Florida Statute 255.103 and 287.055, Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA) and State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF), with compensation to be a Negotiated Fixed Fee.

The addendum addresses five questions from potential bidders, including inquiries about project cost caps (referencing Florida Statute 287.055(2)(g)), pre-certification processes, team qualifications, and contract language. The document provides guidance on obtaining the Consultant Qualification Application and clarifies that firms should submit qualifications for the lead architectural firm, focusing on experience as indicated in Tab 5 of the RFQ. A key point is that the School Board rejected a proposed modification to the draft contract's Article 9, Section 9.1 regarding reuse of construction documents, maintaining the original contract language.

Architects What is the cost "cap" of these projects? In other words, could this work be upwards of $7.5M construction cost per new state legislation or will these projects be $2M and under?

2 Design Styles Architecture Inc

We would like to get pre-certified with the school board in order to meet the minimum requirements for RFQ 2025-01 for Architectural Services. I was able to locate RFQ 20-009 on your website, however this looks to be an old version of the application and looks to be geared towards contractors.

Would you be able to point me in the right direction, or send me a copy of the most recent application for design professionals

11/8/2024 12:14:10 PM Download the Consultant Qualification Application from the following web page:

https://www.vcsedu.org/directory/departme nts/operation-services/facilities-services/planning-and-business-services/consultant-services Follow the application instructions.

3 HKS Architects, Inc.

If we are not already prequalified and will be submitting our application, should we submit that application at the same time as this RFQ response is due?

11/15/2024 3:35:35 PM The Consultant Certification Application isn’t part of the RFQ Submittal. Reference the RFQ for the Consultant Certification Deadline date.

4 HKS Architects, Inc.

Are you looking for qualifications for a full team at this time (MEP, Civil, etc..) or are we only required to submit for the lead Architecture firm qualifications?

11/15/2024 4:00:39 PM The RFQ is pertinent to architectural continuing services; provide experience as indicated in Tab 5.

5 CPH

Consulting,Inc.

In Article 9, Section 9.1 of the Draft Contract, would the Board consider adding the following language to the end of the provision? - “The Owner’s reuse or modification of the construction documents for use on a project other than the project for which the documents were specifically intended by the Architect, will be at the Owner’s sole risk, and the Owner agrees to release, indemnify, and hold the Architect harmless against any claims or damages arising from such reuse or modified use.”
