Collegewide master plan services

Broward College is seeking professional services to update its Collegewide Master Plan through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ-2026-121-OA) for comprehensive master planning services. The solicitation targets Florida-licensed firms capable of developing a five-to-ten-year strategic plan for the college's facilities, which currently encompass 2.89 million square feet across 72 buildings. Key deliverables include comprehensive market analysis, enrollment projections, space and programming needs assessment, utilization review, and detailed space planning inventory. The procurement will follow a multi-phase evaluation process: Phase I involves qualifications review and shortlisting, Phase II includes interviews and presentations, and Phase III entails contract negotiations. Evaluation criteria for the initial phase will assess relevant experience and personnel (20 points), experience and performance record (50 points), location responsiveness (10 points), workload capacity (10 points), and financial capacity (10 points). Critical dates include written questions due by December 9, 2025, and sealed responses due by 2:30 p.m. ET on January 8, 2026, with electronic submissions required through Euna OpenBids (DemandStar).

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Respondents must provide comprehensive documentation, including executed Required Response Form, W-9, proof of Florida licensure, conflict of interest disclosure, litigation history, letter of insurability, and a non-disclosure agreement. Insurance requirements include general liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), professional liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation per Florida statutory limits, and potential cyber liability. Submission guidelines limit responses to 50 pages, excluding covers, dividers, and attachments, with individual files not exceeding 150 MB. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests the contract will be negotiated following the selection of the most qualified firm. The final contract award requires approval from the District Board of Trustees, and the contract will commence upon execution and continue until project completion, with the selected firm required to establish a detailed project timeline prior to award.
