About this opportunity

The City of Orlando is seeking Qualification Statements from design firms registered in Florida to provide professional architectural designs for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), with Qualification Statements due July 23, 2026. Selected designs will be pre-approved as master files in the City Permitting Office to streamline permitting and will be featured on the City website as a library of pre-designed plans available for direct purchase by property owners.

Respondents must be business organizations registered in Florida to provide Design Services under Section 471.023 of the Florida Statutes as of the Qualification Statement due date. This is a professional services qualification process rather than a traditional procurement; selected firms will not receive direct City contracts but will instead be listed as available resources for private property owners to engage directly.

The scope encompasses design plans for ADUs within allowable zoning districts throughout Orlando. Master-file status means designs will be pre-approved by the Permitting Office and will not require additional permitting approvals unless the designs are altered during implementation. This qualification-based approach is part of a broader City incentive program to encourage ADU construction in eligible zones. The solicitation includes Addendum #1 Revision, posted June 11, 2026.
