Owner`s Representative Services for Cruise Terminal 5 Expansion

The Canaveral Port Authority is seeking an Owner's Representative firm to provide professional and project management services for the Cruise Terminal 5 Expansion project located in Cape Canaveral, Florida, within Brevard County. The procurement is structured as a Request for Qualifications (RFQ-25-3) seeking a qualified team to support the construction phases of a significant port infrastructure expansion. The project involves developing approximately 50,000 square feet of new terminal space, including additional passenger queuing areas, enhanced security screening zones, an expanded Customs and Border Protection Federal Inspection Service area, an enlarged luggage hall, and structured parking for 1,500 vehicles with associated roadway modifications. The evaluation criteria for selection include a 100-point scoring system that assesses similar experience (25 points), organizational chart and team qualifications (25 points), methodology (25 points), regional knowledge (10 points), and references (15 points), with an additional potential 50 points available during oral presentations. Key deadlines include a proposal submission deadline of March 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, a selection committee meeting on April 2, 2025, oral interviews on April 10, 2025, and final firm selection by the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners on April 23, 2025. Proposing firms must have at least ten years of experience in passenger terminal construction projects and provide references from three prior successful similar projects.

The RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Two firms were shortlisted for the project: Procon Consulting LLC from McLean, VA and Cocoa, FL, and Kraus-Manning Inc from Maitland, FL, with Procon Consulting ultimately ranked first in the selection process. While a specific contract value is not directly stated in the documents, the project is anticipated to have a service duration of 16 months, from July 2025 through October 2026, with compensation structured on a time and materials basis. The contract includes comprehensive insurance requirements, with the selected consultant expected to maintain professional liability insurance of at least $5,000,000 and other protective insurance policies. The Canaveral Port Authority reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and select the firm that best serves the owner's interests. The selected Owner's Representative will be responsible for providing a Senior Field Inspector, scheduling experts, cost change experts, and materials testing capabilities to support the terminal expansion project.
