Residential Community Development Services (Tribal-wide)

The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Tribal Community Development Department (TCD) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from developers to pre-qualify multiple firms for comprehensive residential community development services across seven Seminole Indian Reservations in Florida. This three-year procurement (with potential two one-year extensions) seeks developers to provide planning, design, and construction services for projects located on tribal trust lands and fee properties owned or leased by the Tribe. Qualified respondents must demonstrate at least ten years of principal experience, meet state licensure requirements, and possess capabilities in infrastructure development, regulatory navigation, strategic planning, and project management. Developers will be evaluated on professional qualifications, experience, technical capabilities, project approach, and past performance, with a total possible score of 35 points. Key procurement dates include a mandatory pre-proposal conference on October 14, 2025, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, with questions due by October 20, 2025, and SOQ submissions due by November 12, 2025.

The solicitation includes a 5% scoring preference for Seminole Tribal Member and STOFI-owned businesses, creating a potential advantage for local and tribal enterprises. Developers must be prepared to provide housing options in the $350,000-$650,000 price range and demonstrate capabilities in developing community amenities such as playgrounds and clubhouses. The Tribe reserves the right to select one or multiple developers, with the procurement process potentially including post-submission presentations and interviews. Successful respondents will need to complete a comprehensive vendor registration process involving a detailed review of the entity's background and reputation. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the multi-year, multi-project nature of the procurement suggests a significant potential engagement across various tribal properties in Florida, with the objective of establishing a flexible, qualified vendor pool capable of responding to diverse community development needs.
