RFQ#FAC2026-03 LEGAL NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR ARCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING SERVICES PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWING PROCEDURES OF THE CONSULTANT'S COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION ACT, CHAPTER 287.055, LAWS OF FLORIDA The District Board of Trustees of State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota ("Board") announces Professional Design Services will be required by qualified Architects registered in the State of Florida to provide planning and design services, complete contract documents (plans and specifications), bid and proposal services, and construction administration for the following phased project: Phase 1: Construct new Collegiate School buildings on the SCF Venice Campus. The project will consist of approximately 22,000 GSF of buildings and will include academic space, administration, cafeteria, auditorium, courtyard and a physical educational area. The project budget is $16 million and includes all project costs including soft costs, furniture, fixtures and equipment. The project schedule is dependent on the State College of Florida receiving the entire project's funding. The preliminary schedule assumes design starts in Spring 2026 and construction pricing received mid to late 2027. Phase 2: Construct new Collegiate School buildings on the SCF Parrish Campus. The project will consist of approximately 22,000 GSF of buildings and will include academic space, administration, cafeteria, auditorium, courtyard and a physical educational area. The project budget is $16.9 million and includes all project costs including soft costs, furniture, fixtures and equipment. The project schedule is dependent on the State College of Florida receiving the entire project's funding. The preliminary schedule assumes design starts in Spring 2027 and construction pricing will be received mid to late 2028. The college intends to use the Venice Collegiate School design for the Parrish Collegiate School and adapt the design for the Parrish site conditions. The college will be utilizing Construction Management (CM) at Risk for the Project Delivery Method. A single construction management firm will be selected through the CCNA process. As with the Architect, a single Construction Management (CM) firm will be used for both Phases, defined above. The funding for Phase 1 and Phase 2 is separate. The college will hold a design contract with the Architect for Phase 1 and a separate design contract with the same Architect for Phase 2. The college will hold a pre-construction services contract with the CM for Phase 1 and a separate pre-construction services contract with the same CM for Phase 2. Upon receiving the entire project funding for Phase 1, the college will direct the CM to proceed with development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Similarly, upon the college receiving the entire project funding for Phase 2, the college will direct the CM to proceed with development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Separate construction contracts will be issued to the same CM for Phase 1 & Phase 2. The college anticipates design fee cost savings by utilizing the same building design for both the Venice and Parrish Collegiates Schools. The college also anticipates construction efficiencies will be gained on the Parrish Collegiate School buildings by the CM. These construction efficiencies should have positive impacts on the construction quality, schedule and cost. Applicants for the project must apply in writing for consideration.
