About this opportunity

The Canaveral Port Authority is seeking architectural and engineering design firms to provide comprehensive design and permitting services for Cruise Terminal 4 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This qualifications-based solicitation (RFQ-25-5, Project Number 23-014D) involves designing a 170,000 square foot cruise terminal with capacity for 8,000 passengers, including 15 passenger security screening stations and 1,000 seats. The project scope includes designing the terminal building, a minimum 2,400-vehicle parking garage, employee parking lot, site work, utility improvements, and offsite roadway enhancements along George King Boulevard, Dave Nisbet Drive, Mullet Road, and Scallop Drive. Evaluation criteria will focus on firms' experience, technical approach, team qualifications, and ability to meet complex cruise terminal facility requirements. Key procurement dates include proposal submissions due on May 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, mandatory pre-proposal site visits on May 27 and June 3, 2025, shortlisted team presentations on June 12, 2025, and final selection presentation to the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners on June 25, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be compensated on a time and materials basis, with specific task budgets to be determined, and includes a $25,000 design stipend for shortlisted firms that complete the conceptual technical submittal but are not awarded the full design contract. The selected firm must maintain various insurance coverages, including professional liability insurance of at least $5,000,000, commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance. Design milestones are scheduled from November 2025 to August 2026, with the initial contract term of one year and potential extensions for up to two additional six-month periods contingent on satisfactory performance and fund availability. The project anticipates construction contract award in December 2026, with the selected firm responsible for creating design and permit documents, coordinating with marine works and passenger boarding bridge teams, and maintaining access to existing port facilities during construction.
