RFSQ/RFQ -16278 Continuing Construction Management Services

The Department of Juvenile Justice in Florida is seeking qualified construction management firms through RFSQ/RFQ-16278 to provide ongoing construction management services across the Northwest, Northeast, Central, and South regions of the state. This is a qualification-based solicitation governed by Florida Statute 287.055, focusing on selecting the most highly qualified firm rather than the lowest bidder. Proposals must be submitted as a single Adobe PDF file on a thumb drive by the deadline of October 6, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and must include comprehensive documentation such as contractor experience, financial information, resumes of proposed staff, descriptions of project management systems, licensing, and certifications regarding vendor status and lobbying compliance. There are no line-item pricing details or CLINs provided, and the contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with a maximum estimated value of $7,725,000. Each task order will be activated individually and will have a defined performance period. The selected firm will serve as the Owner’s agent, managing preconstruction activities, bid evaluation, subcontractor selection, scheduling, safety compliance, and adherence to green building standards like LEED and Green Globes, while ensuring all work meets OSHA, ADA, and applicable Florida building codes. Key personnel for both the Construction Manager and the Architect-Engineer require prior written approval for any substitution, and all trade contracts exceeding $50,000 must be backed by 100% performance and payment bonds issued by Florida-authorized sureties. The contractor must implement site security measures, prohibit discrimination and unauthorized employment, and comply with mandatory minority business enterprise reporting obligations. All contract modifications and project authorizations are managed through formal amendments, and final acceptance occurs on-site upon completion and submission of close-out documentation. Electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are not mandated, and remittance details must be provided by the vendor. Proposals must be non-restricted PDFs and omitting any required attachment will result in rejection.
