Continuing Contracts for Construction Management Services - Northwest Florida

The State of Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Real Estate Development and Management, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Management (CM) at Risk firms to provide continuing contracts for construction management services primarily in the Northwest Florida region. The initial contract term will be for two years, with an option to renew for an additional two-year period. The selected CM firms must demonstrate successful experience performing CM at Risk services, be licensed and registered in Florida, and be able to provide required bonding. The construction values of most projects will likely range from $150,000 to $1,000,000, though projects can be activated up to the statutory thresholds. The Department will conduct interviews and negotiations to select the most highly qualified firms in order of preference. Responses are due by August 1, 2024, and the Department intends to award contracts and begin the initial term on September 30, 2024.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The document does not provide details on pricing terms, incumbents, or funding requirements and sources. The total contract value is not stated, but the work is dependent on funding from the state legislature, with no guaranteed amount. The selected CM firms must be able to bring multiple qualified and competitive subcontractors, meet criminal history background check requirements, and provide performance and payment bonds up to $7,500,000 per project.
