Architecture – Engineering Services Continuing Contracts

The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) in the state of Florida is seeking qualifications from licensed architectural and engineering (A&E) firms to perform various services on APD projects as needed. The services may include architectural design, engineering, construction design, drafting bid specifications, project management, and general construction management. The majority of the projects are anticipated to range in budget from $150,000 to $4 million and will primarily cover facility maintenance and repair, new construction, site/stormwater drainage, roofing, and HVAC upgrades in Leon County and Tampa City. The APD will select a minimum of three qualified vendors to be awarded five-year contracts with the option to renew for up to five additional one-year terms. The selected firms will be assigned projects on an as-needed basis through task assignments, and work will be distributed based on factors such as qualifications, location, availability, and previous work assignments. No minimum amount of work is guaranteed under the contracts. Firms must be properly licensed in the State of Florida and may submit as the prime contractor with their own subcontractors or as a subcontractor to another prime. The Agency will evaluate the qualifications and may conduct interviews before making the final selections. Responses are due by June 7, 2024.

The procurement is open to all eligible A&E firms, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Agency has not provided information about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The overall budget range for the multiple contracts has not been specified, but the individual project budgets are expected to range from $150,000 to $4 million.
