Construction management-continuing services region 1

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is issuing a Request for Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to seek proposals from licensed general contractors to provide continuing construction management (CM) at-risk services for Region One (1) of Florida, which includes Leon County. FDACS intends to award up to eight (8) continuing CM service term agreements as a result of this solicitation, with each agreement lasting for 3 years, plus three 1-year renewal options. The selected CM firms will be eligible to negotiate and provide preconstruction proposals and Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMPs) on individual construction projects initiated by FDACS throughout the term of the agreements. The SOQ outlines the required qualifications and experience for the CM firms, including relevant construction experience, ability to manage all construction phases, cost estimating, scheduling, and subcontractor management. Respondents must provide information on their firm's financial capacity, project history, personnel, and management systems. FDACS will evaluate and rank respondents based on criteria such as financial capacity, relevant experience, preconstruction and construction phase staffing, and project management approach, with the top-ranked firms invited to interviews prior to final selection.

The contract opportunity is open to all licensed general contractors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The SOQ indicates that individual project values shall not exceed $7.5 million per Florida Statute 255.103, but pricing and funding details are not provided. There is no information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the SOQ does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
