Scope of Work Design Criteria Package for Broward County Convention Center New Parking Garage (Project 108615)

Broward County’s Public Works, Construction Management, Division seeks an Architect led team for the deliberately phased professional services, including Programming, Planning, site analysis, and preparation of a Design Criteria Package (DCP), with potential future services as authorized by the County, to support the future design and construction by others of a new parking garage, warehouse, and connections to adjacent buildings for the Broward County Convention Center in the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Project site is approximately seventeen (17) acres located at the previous Pacific Molasses Terminal, 1601 SE 22nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. The site is currently occupied by a temporary marshalling yard for the Convention Center with numerous ancillary buildings used by Port Everglades Public Works Department.

The project scope includes architectural, interior design; structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, civil engineering; landscaping signage and wayfinding, BIM, LEED, parking guidance system, cost estimating, and security. The County may choose to make all the identified improvements or add more as discovered during the programming or planning effort, in one or multiple phases, depending on funding availability and access to the facility.

The Project is generally comprised of the following components:

A) A parking garage intended to be a multi-story building or phased series of buildings to accommodate approximately 4500 parking spaces serving the Broward County Convention Center.

B) An approximately 30,000 square foot warehouse to accommodate and support Headquarters Hotel, Convention Center and Port Everglades users, and any additional future amenities to be identified. The final square footage will be determined during the programming phase.

C) Pedestrian and vehicular connections to the existing Heron Garage and a pedestrian-only connection to the Convention Center is anticipated as a part of the Project. A potential County light rail station and/or maintenance facility, to be in the general vicinity of the new project site or within the new Parking Garage footprint will be explored as part of the Project.

D) Stakeholders may include but are not limited to the Broward County Convention Center and Headquarters Hotel (BCCH), Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), Port Everglades, Broward County Transit and other affected Broward County agencies.

E) The Consultant is to conduct a site analysis in concert with stakeholders that will result in the development and presentation of a Program, Conceptual Space Plan and Design Criteria Package (DCP) that will fulfill the County’s requirements for the Project.

Predesign services will include preliminary strategic planning and phasing logistics for the Design and Construction phases.

F) The Consultant shall establish a preliminary scorecard of potential Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credit categories to meet a United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Gold rating for parking garage and maintenance building(s).

G) Professional services required for the exploration of any additional level of LEED certification through the USGBC may be elected by the Contract Administrator for the Project and will be provided under Optional Services.
