Cruise Terminal 5 Expansion

The Canaveral Port Authority is seeking proposals from qualified Construction Management at Risk (CM at Risk) firms for the Cruise Terminal 5 Expansion project located in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The project involves a comprehensive expansion of approximately 50,000 square feet across two levels, including additional passenger queuing, security screening areas, pre-board seating, an expanded Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Federal Inspection Service area, and an expanded luggage hall. The selected firm will be responsible for preconstruction services, establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), and potentially executing a GMP Amendment. Key project deliverables include structured parking for an additional 1,000 vehicles and associated access roadway modifications. The solicitation timeline includes a pre-proposal site walk-through on December 17, 2024, at 10:00 AM, with proposals due on January 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. The selection process will involve a committee meeting on February 5, 2025, for shortlisting firms, with presentations and final ranking scheduled for February 18, 2025, and potential commission approval on February 26, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on the firm's qualifications, experience, and approach to the project, with liquidated damages set at $10,000 per day for missed completion deadlines.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified construction management firms, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documents. Two primary firms were evaluated and ranked: Ivey's Construction Inc from Merritt Island, FL (ranked 1st) and PCL Construction Services LLC from Orlando, FL (ranked 2nd). The project budget is estimated at $48,000,000 for terminal landside work and associated sitework, excluding a separate design-build parking garage. The project timeline targets substantial completion of the expanded luggage hall and debarkation ramp by October 1, 2025, with all other improvements to be substantially complete by March 1, 2026. Contractors will be required to obtain TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) badging for site access. The existing infrastructure includes the current Cruise Terminal 5, with the expansion planned to be built under existing "flying buttresses" and requiring careful coordination to maintain port operations during construction. All project communications and questions must be submitted through VendorLink, with addenda to be issued through the Purchasing Department.
