RFQ Engineering - Architectural, Engineering and Design Services for the New Transportation West Project

As of November 23, 2022, this solicitation is under evaluation. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to early 2024. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The design of the Transportation Facility will include a school bus and fleet maintenance building, and parking areas. The building must be equipped with a minimum of six (6) double-length bus/vehicle drive-through servicing bays for buses and fleet vehicles, with necessary servicing tools and repair equipment. Each bay shall be capable to support a portable bus/vehicle lift. The design should also include a lockable storage space for bus and vehicle parts, a workspace for radio repair, upholstery repair, painting and body work, a large space with exterior access for tire storage separated from the mechanical part storage, and a conditioned electronic part storage. The facility must also provide an aboveground fuel depot with the ability to fuel 200 school buses with diesel fuel and regular fuel for fleet vehicles; the fueling of vehicles will occur every day. Also included will be an exterior bus washing facility capable of washing the entire exterior of the buses as well as fleet vehicles (cars, trucks, and vans). The new construction (office spaces) is intended to be tilt-up concrete panels and will be designed to high perfromance building criteria to achieve school district requirements of 25 or less Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and a 0.20 CFM/SF maximum air leakage. The project will include a mock-up structure, which is TBD, to facilitate testing of the building envelop prior to tilt-up construciton of the facility taking place. The maintenance bays are intended to be a pre-engineered metal building with roll up doors. The design of the building shall include office space for approximately 30 administrative and support staff, a computer training lab, a driver`s lounge that will accommodate at least 120 drivers and 40 attendants, and include space that will house 200 people for meetings and staff training. The building will also require a breakroom, restroom facilities and lockers. Regular servicing of all school buses and fleet vehicles will include fueling and lubrication, tire changes and major/minor component repair and/or replacement repairs. The servicing may require technicians to work on the front and/or rear of the school buses when bay doors are open or closed. Servicing may also require service trucks and lubrication vehicles to be parked at the front and rear of a school bus. The service bays and outdoor parking spaces must allow for a wrecker to be able to access a parked school bus from the front or rear. The design of the school bus parking lots must allow for 200 bus parking spaces and 350 car parking spaces for school bus driver private vehicles, administrative vehicles, visitor parking and include handicap parking spaces per Building Code. The Transportation Building will be constructed on a site that may be up to 63+/- acres with on-site retention and 13+/- acres of wetland. Consideration must be provided for access to the facility off a major roadway, with an access road being included in the project. The project will require traffic signalization to be designed and installed at the junction of Robert McLane Boulevard and Poinciana Boulevard to Osceola County standards.The signal will be turned over to Osceola County after being built.
