About this opportunity

Broward County Public Works and Environmental Services Department, Construction Management Division, is seeking an architect-led team under Solicitation PNC2132858P1 for design and construction administration services on the Broward County Convention Center West renovation and the Northport Garage repairs, with proposals due December 15, 2026. A 15% County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal applies. A responsive, responsible SBE or CBE proposer whose score falls within five percent of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer is treated as the highest-ranked proposer and proceeds to negotiations, provided certification is current as of the solicitation opening date.

The scope covers architectural, interior design, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, civil, landscaping, signage and wayfinding, BIM, LEED, and security services, from program planning through post-occupancy review. The Convention Center West work addresses approximately 600,000 square feet of interior, exterior, and grounds improvements, including ballroom and conference upgrades, ADA compliance, facade work, and escalator replacement. The Northport Garage work at 1950 Eisenhower Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida includes structural repairs, elevator additions, parking guidance systems, and fire suppression. The County intends to pursue LEED Gold-EBOM maintenance and requires BIM-developed documents. Improvements may proceed in one or multiple phases depending on funding availability and facility access. Proposers must hold a Florida Registered Architect license at submittal, submit GSA Standard Form 330, and carry professional liability coverage of $5,000,000 per claim with a deductible of no more than $100,000.

The estimated budget for architectural and engineering design services is $4.3 million, with design services expected to take approximately ten months. The solicitation is governed by the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (Section 287.055, Florida Statutes), so price is not an evaluation factor; the County negotiates pricing with the most qualified firm. The project is funded with County funds. Contract terms follow Standard Agreement Form BCF 202, dated 9/28/2026, and exceptions must be submitted on the Agreement Exceptions form.

Evaluation totals 100 points across eight criteria: Ability of Professional Personnel (35), Project Approach (20), Past Performance (20), Specialized Experience in LEED and BIM (10), Workload of Vendor (5), Location Certification (5), Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements (2), and Volume of Previous Work (3). Location Certification is the local-preference mechanism, and a Broward County local business tax receipt is required by the closing date to claim the location tiebreaker. Volume of Previous Work awards three points for $0 to $3,000,000 in County payments over five years, falling to zero above $10,000,000, with CBE subcontractor payments factored in. Vendors must submit at least three non-County references, though the County reviews its own performance database for current or prior County contracts.

The solicitation was posted November 12, 2026. The Cone of Silence applies from advertisement through award, and submittals are made electronically through BPRO.
