This is an attachment document for a Request for Qualification Statements (RQS25-0121) issued by the City of Orlando, Florida, for professional engineering services related to the HVAC Enhancement and Auxiliary Power for Resilience Hubs Project. The project targets six neighborhood centers—Dr. Smith, Englewood, Northwest, Callahan, Rosemont, and Dover Shores—located in low-to-moderate income communities. The scope of work includes designing HVAC system enhancements featuring MERV 13 filters and UV-C lights, mixed ventilation systems, auxiliary power connections, and transfer switches to enable 100 percent operational effectiveness during power outages. Two of the six centers (Dr. Smith and Northwest) will receive permanent natural gas-connected generators. Qualified respondents must be engineering firms registered in Florida. The solicitation was released on January 6, 2025, with a question submission deadline of January 27, 2025, at 5:00 pm and qualification statements due electronically via OpenGov by February 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm local time. A virtual opening will be conducted via Microsoft Teams.

The total project budget is $2,850,000, with $660,000 specifically allocated for professional services. The project is fully funded through a Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) Subrecipient Agreement, with funding administered by Florida Commerce and originating from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). While no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the project emphasizes equitable service to marginalized communities. The project is designed to benefit an estimated 12,175 individuals by creating resilient community spaces with improved air quality and reliable power access. Selected consultants must comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including equal employment opportunity provisions, energy efficiency standards, and domestic procurement preferences.
