The Canaveral Port Authority is seeking qualifications from engineering and design firms to provide waterside engineering design and permitting services for the new Terminal 2 Berth project located in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The procurement, identified as PUR-RFQ-25-2 and PN-25-005B, requires firms with at least 10 years of experience in port marine environments and specific expertise in cruise ship berth design, underwater inspections, mooring and berthing analysis, and marine permitting. The project involves comprehensive engineering services for a new cruise terminal berth capable of accommodating Oasis, Freedom, and Quantum class cruise ships, with a berth length between 1,380 and 1,450 feet. Deliverables include detailed design plans, permit applications, environmental testing, site plans, and coordination with regulatory agencies such as the US Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and US Coast Guard. The evaluation will be based on a 100-point technical qualification system, with an additional potential 50 points for interviews, focusing on technical expertise rather than price. Key deadlines include proposal responses due on December 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM, a selection committee meeting on January 6, 2025, oral presentations on January 13, 2025, and final firm selection by the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners on January 29, 2025. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. from Cape Canaveral, Florida, has been unanimously ranked first by the selection committee and is the sole identified vendor for this project. The draft task-based contract includes provisions for a one-year initial term with potential automatic renewals and compensation based on hourly rates and reimbursable expenses. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract includes professional liability insurance set at $5,000,000 per claim. The project is scheduled to commence in February 2025, with geotechnical and survey data collection in March 2025, project document completion through December 2025, and all permits to be obtained by March 2026 to align with a planned construction solicitation in April 2026. The contract will be executed through a qualifications-based selection process pursuant to Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, with comprehensive provisions for task budget adjustments, insurance requirements, termination, suspension, and dispute resolution.
