The solicitation resulted in eleven initial proposals, with four firms being shortlisted on April 4, 2025: Harvard Jolly PBK, JL2 Architectural, Gatorsketch Architects & Planners, and PQH Group Design, Inc. The project involves designing a 15,000-square-foot EOC building located at 8 North Stewart Avenue near the Kissimmee Police Department and a parking garage with approximately 250 spaces.

The project has an estimated budget of approximately $15 million, with design completion targeted to enable construction start in March or April 2026. The design services will require comprehensive documentation including site survey, site master plan, spatial needs assessment, schematic design, preliminary construction drawings, and bid-ready construction documents. The project will utilize a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method, with the design team expected to attend bi-weekly meetings throughout construction. Compensation will be determined through negotiation, potentially using methods such as lump sum or cost-plus-fixed fee, and the architect must maintain professional liability insurance of $1,000,000. The facility must accommodate 95-100 personnel during emergency activations and include specific requirements for security, resilience, storm resistance, and backup power systems.
