About this opportunity
The Canaveral Port Authority is seeking architectural and engineering design firms to provide comprehensive services for Cruise Terminal 4, a significant infrastructure project in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ-25-5, PN 23-014D) solicits proposals for designing a new 170,000 square foot cruise terminal building, a minimum 2,400-vehicle parking garage, site work, utilities, and offsite roadway improvements. The procurement follows a two-step qualifications-based selection process, with Step 1 sealed qualifications proposals due by May 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. Mandatory pre-proposal site visits are scheduled for May 27 and June 3, 2025, requiring at least one team member from each major design division (architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and civil) to attend. The selection will be based on a 100-point scoring system evaluating firm experience, qualifications, regional knowledge, consultants, current workload, organizational structure, and team resumes. Key project requirements include designing passenger processing capabilities for up to 8,000 passengers, fifteen security screening stations, comprehensive technology integration, and adherence to sustainable design principles. Team presentations are scheduled for June 12, 2025, with final ranking presentation to the Board of Commissioners on June 25, 2025.
The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Three firms have been shortlisted for Step 2: Arquitectonica from Miami, FL; BEA Architects Inc from Miami, FL; and Bermello Ajamil & Partners LLC from Coral Gables, FL. A $25,000 design stipend will be paid to shortlisted firms that complete the conceptual technical submittal but are not awarded the full design contract. The draft contract indicates a one-year initial term with potential extensions for two additional six-month periods, contingent on performance and fund availability. While the total contract value is marked as "TBD", the consultant will be reimbursed on a time and materials basis with specific insurance requirements, including $5,000,000 in professional liability coverage. The project's design milestones are targeted for 30% design by November 21, 2025, 60% design by March 13, 2026, 90% design (bid set) by June 19, 2026, and 100% design (permit set) by August 14, 2026, with the construction contract anticipated to be awarded in December 2026.
