Solicitation Number: RFQ PW 19-23

Description: The purpose of this Request for Qualification (RFQ) is to seek the services from firms or individuals licensed to practice in the State of Florida for professional facility planning and design services. This document provides the guidelines by which interested consultants are to submit their interest, qualifications, and proposal. Selection and negotiations will conform to the Florida Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) Chapter 287.055, Florida Statutes and County policy. The proposed draft agreement for the work contemplated by this RFQ is attached and may be subject to change.

Okaloosa County Public Works currently occupies facilities located at 1759 S Ferdon Blvd in Crestview for Public Works operations. The plan is to relocate Public Works operations from the current location to a portion of an approximately 40-acre tract of land (parcel ID# 19-3N-23-0000-0001-0020) that the County owns west of Crestview. All Public Works functions – administrative, engineering, road maintenance, fleet maintenance, and mosquito control – would relocate from the current location to the new site.

Okaloosa County Administrative offices, including constitutional officers Supervisor of Elections, Tax Collector, and Property Appraiser, located in the Brackin Building (302 N Wilson St, parcel ID# 17-3N-23-2490-0067-0210) seek options for expansion of the existing facility on to adjacent county owned parcels (parcel ID# 17-3N-23-2490-0067-0010 & 17-3N-23-2490-0067-0050). Additional office space, counter/service areas, and Board Chambers may be considered.

Services requested will start with the development of site and facility layout concepts along with program level budget expectations for each location. Upon selection of a site layout concept and anticipated project budget, services could extend into architectural and engineering design for the facilities and sites. If selected by the County, services to complete site and building construction documents for the new Public Works location and expanded Brackin Building location would be needed. Should the County elect to move forward with construction/relocation, it is the County’s intent to utilize a Design – Bid – Build process.

This RFQ is for professional services that may include:
• Site layout concepts with preliminary estimates for establishing a program budget
• Construction level architectural and engineering plans to be utilized for construction bids
• Permit documents and acquisition for the associated tasked work
• Bid assistance services
• Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) services, including design services during construction

The project will be executed in several phases and task orders may be issued for concept development, design, bid assistance, post design, and CEI. Award of this contract does not guarantee that all phases of the work will be selected/executed nor that both sites will necessarily proceed coincidentally.
