The City of Winter Haven, Florida is seeking qualified design-build teams to provide all necessary services for the redevelopment of the city's Old Fire Station Number One located at 551 3rd Street, NW. The project scope includes evaluating the needs of the Building Division, providing design services, obtaining permits, performing construction, and potentially completing off-site improvements. Interested firms must submit their qualifications by October 9, 2024, and the city will use a Professional Services Committee to evaluate the proposals and rank the top-ranked firms, who may be requested to make oral presentations.

The project will follow the requirements of the Florida Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act.
