This is an architectural design plan document for the East Lake Community Library Expansion project in Pinellas County, Florida. The file presents the existing building layout and demolition plan for the library facility located at 4125 East Lake Road in Palm Harbor. The document outlines the current configuration of the library structure and identifies areas designated for demolition to accommodate the proposed approximately 8,000-square-foot addition, which consists of a 3,650-square-foot ground floor addition and a 4,350-square-foot second floor addition. The planning document serves as a foundational reference for architectural firms responding to the County's Request for Qualification. 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. Proposal submissions are due January 8, 2026, at 3:00 PM through the OpenGov procurement website. The selected firm will enter into a contract spanning 1,200 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, providing comprehensive architectural services including programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, specifications, bid evaluation, permitting, and construction administration.

The project evaluation will utilize a 1,000-point scoring system, with up to 2,000 points available if oral presentations are included. Points are allocated 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 with Pinellas County Small Business Enterprise certification (125 points). Proposing firms must demonstrate compliance with Florida Statute 287.055, the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, and submit current SF-330 forms, proof of Florida business licensure, professional certifications, and professional liability insurance with minimum coverage of $2,000,000. Selected consultants must maintain E-Verify registration and insurance throughout the contract term and for two years beyond final project acceptance. While no specific contract amount is disclosed in this planning document, compensation will be structured as a lump sum fee across seven defined tasks.
