C/M Services-Florida Department of Juvenile Justice-Three New Detention Centers-Construction

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk to design, plan, and construct three new juvenile detention centers in Tampa, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. The selected Construction Manager must be a licensed contractor in the state of Florida and provide a $100 million performance bond and $100 million payment bond. The total anticipated construction cost for the three facilities is $100 million, and the Department intends to award all three facilities to the same Construction Manager firm. Clemons, Rutherford & Associates, Inc. has been selected as the design firm for the project. The request for qualifications (RFQ) does not specify a projected construction start date or award date, but does provide details on the required qualifications, scope of work, and selection process. The selection process will involve a preliminary screening, interviews, and negotiations, with the top-ranked firm being awarded the contract.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The current appropriation for the project is undetermined and will be based on appropriation from the Florida Legislature, so the potential award value or budget range is unclear from the provided information.
