2601RSQ - Design of New Fire Station #8 Building

The City of Daytona Beach is seeking professional architectural engineering services through Request for Proposal #2601RSQ to design and construct a new Fire Station 8 Building located at 1380 N. Clyde Morris Blvd in Daytona Beach, Florida. The project encompasses designing a comprehensive 10,000 square foot, single-story fire station situated on a 3.41-acre undeveloped site, with specific requirements including a three-lane apparatus bay, administrative offices, dormitory spaces, support facilities, and a separate three-bay garage/storage building. Qualified architectural engineering firms will be evaluated based on their qualifications, experience, technical approach, and proposed cost, with a competitive selection process determining the most suitable consultant. The solicitation timeline includes a pre-proposal meeting scheduled for October 10, 2025, and proposal submissions due by October 30, 2025, with the expectation that the selected consultant will provide comprehensive services across pre-design, design, and construction phases. Key deliverables include site evaluation, infrastructure design, permit documentation, conceptual planning, and ongoing coordination with city staff to create a fully operational satellite fire station meeting current design standards and emphasizing energy efficiency and safety.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project will be constructed by a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) under a separate contract, with an estimated construction duration of approximately 10 months. The project aims to support the Daytona Beach Fire Department's mission of protecting lives and property through the development of a modern fire station facility. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, the comprehensive scope of the project suggests a significant capital investment in municipal infrastructure. The new fire station will be integrated into the existing emergency services network, enhancing the City of Daytona Beach's public safety capabilities. Potential respondents should anticipate a complex procurement process that will carefully assess technical competence, design innovation, and cost-effectiveness in delivering this critical public infrastructure project.
