The RFQ solicits a Construction Manager at Risk firm to oversee comprehensive interior and exterior renovation and restoration of the 11,894 square foot Governor's Mansion, a historic building constructed in 1956 and listed on the National Historic Register. The RFQ was released on October 14, 2025, with a response deadline of November 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Plans and specifications are available only to shortlisted firms. The subcontractor bidding and construction timeline will be determined following execution of the contract with the awarded Construction Manager firm, with an anticipated pre-construction start date of January 26, 2026.

The construction budget is approximately $20,000,000. The selected Construction Manager will be responsible for managing the complete bidding and construction processes while ensuring timely completion, budget adherence, and compliance with historic preservation standards. Evaluation will consider proposed office distance, financial capacity, relevant project experience, preconstruction and construction phase staff qualifications, and project management systems. The Department reserves the right to negotiate with the top-ranked firm and execute a contract, with provisions to select an alternate firm if initial negotiations are unsuccessful. Close coordination with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement regarding safety and security measures will be required throughout the project duration.
