Typical projects include new airport facilities, expansions, renovations, and upgrades involving general site construction, foundations, structural work, electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, interior and exterior finishes, roofing, landscaping, and information technology infrastructure. Project delivery methods are typically design-bid-build and design-build.

Key personnel must include a Project Manager with a four-year engineering or architecture degree plus five years of project management experience, or a high school diploma with ten years of progressive construction experience including five years as project manager. Specialized inspectors must hold discipline-specific certifications including FDOT Construction Training and Qualification Program, Florida Building Code Administrators and Inspection Board, Florida Electrical Contractor's Licensing Board, or ICC certifications as applicable.

Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence or $5 million for Airport Operations Area access), professional errors and omissions ($5 million per claim), professional liability ($1 million minimum per claim), workers' compensation with statutory limits, and automobile liability ($1 million or $5 million combined single limit for AOA access). The Aviation Authority and City of Orlando must be named as additional insureds.

Respondents must provide audited financial statements for the previous two years and demonstrate commitment to Local Disadvantaged Business and Veteran Business Enterprise participation goals with documented good faith efforts or certified subconsultants if goals are not met.
