2638RFP - Landscape Architecture Design Services at LPGA Park

The City of Daytona Beach is issuing Request for Proposals (RFP) 2638 for landscape architecture design services for a new 38-acre park development located on LPGA Boulevard. This procurement seeks a qualified consulting team to develop a comprehensive master plan and construction-ready design document package that includes all necessary landscape, civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical drawings required for bidding and construction. Required park amenities include a minimum of four outdoor basketball courts, adequate parking, a playground for ages 5-12, a dog park, open lawn and event space, an elevated boardwalk and nature trails, fitness stations, restrooms, covered picnic pavilions, and comprehensive site infrastructure addressing utility service requirements, water service distribution, and stormwater management systems. The prime proposer must be a Florida-licensed landscape architect with at least five years of active business operation and must engage licensed structural engineers, civil engineers, and architects. Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted scoring system assessing qualifications and experience of the consulting team (40 points), project approach (40 points), and references (20 points), with the award going to the proposer offering the best value rather than lowest cost alone. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for April 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, the deadline for questions and requests for interpretation is April 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and proposals are due May 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. All submissions must be made electronically through the City's OpenGov platform.

The RFP contains no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses based on the available documentation. Proposers must demonstrate E-Verify compliance, carry professional liability insurance of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, and comply with all federal requirements if FEMA financial assistance is used. All necessary permits must be secured from local and state regulatory agencies, including the St. Johns River Water Management District and the City of Daytona Beach Permits and Licensing Department. The City intends to shortlist qualified proposers for Phase 2 interviews and presentations before making a final award recommendation to the City Commission.
