Continuing Contracts for Construction Management Services - South Florida

The Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Real Estate Development and Management, is seeking Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk) firms through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Continuing Contracts in the South Florida Region. The procurement targets construction management services primarily covering counties south of and including Charlotte, Glades, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie. Qualified firms must demonstrate extensive experience in remodeling and repairing existing occupied buildings, with project values typically ranging from $150,000 to $7,750,000. The evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess firms based on proposed office distance to site, financial capacity, relevant project experience, preconstruction and construction phase staffing, and project management systems. Key procurement dates include a response deadline of September 4, 2025, interviews scheduled for October 2025, and an anticipated pre-construction start date of January 21, 2026. Respondents must submit detailed documentation including a letter of interest, experience questionnaire, past project listings, organizational information, project management systems description, licensing and registration proof, bonding capabilities, and a pre-qualification letter.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The initial contract term will be three years with an option to renew for an additional two years. Firms must demonstrate the ability to bring qualified subcontractors and supply workers meeting Florida Department of Law Enforcement criminal history checks. The Department reserves the right to select one or more firms and negotiate contracts, potentially rejecting all responses. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, firms must disclose their annual construction gross revenue for the past five years, current bonding capacity, years in business, and full-time personnel breakdown. The selection process will utilize a point-based evaluation system, with scores assigned across preliminary screening and interview components to identify the most qualified construction management team for state projects in the specified region.
