The School Board of Volusia County, Florida is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architectural Continuing Services, seeking to select multiple architectural firms to provide professional services on an as-needed basis for various projects throughout the county. The procurement follows Florida Statute 255.103 and 287.055, specifically the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA) and State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF), with compensation structured as a negotiated fixed fee. Firms will be evaluated across five weighted criteria: Location (5%), Current Workload (15%), Experience (35%), Past Performance (80%), and Project Approach (20%), totaling 100 possible points. The solicitation requires firms to submit comprehensive documentation including insurance certificates, licenses, staff resumes, references, and detailed project experience, with a particular emphasis on educational facilities expertise. Key dates include a November 20, 2024 deadline for questions, a December 16, 2024 submittal due date, shortlist firm selection on January 16, 2025, and an anticipated contract award on June 24, 2025. The contract term is initially two years, with potential for three additional one-year renewals. The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The solicitation received submissions from 27 architectural firms, with Hall & Ogle Architects ranking highest in the initial scoring at 73.67 points, followed by Zyscovich, LLC at 65.83 points, and Group 942 Architecture, P.A. at 63 points. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement is structured to select multiple firms, providing flexibility for the School Board to distribute projects based on firm capabilities and workload. The selection will be finalized through a Consultant Certification Board Meeting on January 28, 2025, with board ranking approval anticipated on February 25, 2025. Firms must maintain a current Certificate of Qualification with the Volusia County School Board and be prepared to provide comprehensive architectural services across various educational facility projects. The School Board aims to establish a panel of qualified architectural firms capable of addressing ongoing facilities planning and construction needs throughout Volusia County.
