Building Division & Associated Services Expansion of the City Hall Campus

The City of Hialeah invites Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified design-build firms to provide programming validation, architecture, engineering, permitting, preconstruction, construction, commissioning, occupancy, and closeout services for a new approximately 98,000 gross square-foot building to house the building department and associated services. The project will be delivered at the City's municipal civic site near Palm Ave and East 6th Street and will include associated site, utility, public-realm, technology, security, and existing-facility interface work.

The aggregate amount payable under the design-build agreement, including all phases and guaranteed maximum price amendments, may not exceed $45,000,000. The City seeks full building occupancy no later than August 31, 2028, and places substantial weight on earlier lawful occupancy of usable portions of the building.

This is a qualifications-based selection under section 287.055(9), Florida Statutes, and applicable City purchasing requirements. Respondents must not include fees, rates, construction prices, or other compensation proposals in the SOQ. Following the final ranking, the City intends to negotiate phased services, a guaranteed maximum price within the stated ceiling, and guaranteed completion dates with the highest-ranked firm.
