About this opportunity
The City of St. Petersburg is soliciting proposals for a design project to upgrade the exhibits at the Lake Maggiore Environmental Education Center (LMEEC) located at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. The Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks a qualified exhibit design firm to create interactive, museum-quality displays focusing on various ecological topics including urban wildlife, gopher tortoises, ground-dwelling animals, underground plants, pollinators, alligators, nocturnal wildlife, birds, prescribed fire, Lake Maggiore watershed, uplands, wetlands, and animal enclosures. Proposing firms must have at least three years of experience designing interpretive displays and provide a single point of contact to manage the project. The evaluation criteria include experience (15%), creativity (30%), past performance (20%), cost (15%), capacity to accomplish the work (10%), and project schedule (10%). Key deadlines include questions due by November 17, 2023, proposal responses due by December 7, 2023 at 3:00 pm, evaluation and shortlisting on January 3, 2024, interviews on January 23, 2024, and a recommended award to City Council on March 7, 2024. The selected firm will be required to develop a comprehensive exhibit design package within six months of award, including content outlines, conceptual and final drawings, color palettes, graphic approaches, and component descriptions.
While the RFP documents do not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the project will be funded through the city's budgeted resources. The design phase will be completed before potential fabrication and installation, subject to available funding. The current exhibits, as shown in the attached "Current_Displays.pdf" document, provide a baseline for the proposed upgrades, featuring immersive visual elements, informational panels, and interactive displays showcasing different ecological environments and wildlife. The city will participate in the design process and provide access to the LMEEC for assessment. The attached draft agreement indicates that the selected Architect/Engineering (A/E) firm will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and the Florida Building Code. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves a comprehensive exhibit design upgrade that will require significant design expertise and creative interpretation of ecological themes.
