Request for Qualifications for Design-Build Services for SR 429 Binion Road Interchange [Project No. 429-309]

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design-build services for the SR 429 Binion Road Interchange, identified as Project No. 429-309. The scope of work involves the design and construction of a new interchange with tolled ramps, a roundabout at Binion Road, and the realignment of Boy Scout Road. The project includes comprehensive infrastructure improvements such as bridges, noise walls, AET gantries, drainage systems, and the installation of 16-inch and 30-inch PVC reclaimed water facilities. All work must adhere to CFX Design Guidelines and the technical qualification requirements of Florida Administrative Code Chapters 14-75 and 14-22, with firms requiring prequalification by FDOT and the State of Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board. The selection process is divided into two stages, beginning with a shortlist evaluation based on project approach, construction experience, and specialized design and grouting expertise. A minimum of three teams will be shortlisted to proceed to a final Request for Proposals (RFP) stage, where the final award is determined by a weighted score of 20 percent for the technical proposal and 80 percent for the price proposal. CFX has established a 17 percent participation objective for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) firms. Responses must be submitted via the OpenGov portal by September 24, 2026, and must include specific documentation such as a one-page statement of qualifications and resumes for nine key staff positions.
