RFQ 25-01: EMS Building Construction Management
The 2022-2023 General Appropriations Act, line 2286A, appropriated Four Million Dollars and Zero Cents ($4,000,000.00) to Holmes County, Florida, for the Holmes County Government Efficiency Complex (GEC) to include four project areas including land purchase from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, construction of an new Agricultural Center Building, construction of a new Public Safety Facility, which shall house the County’s Emergency Management Service Center, and renovation of the existing Agricultural Center Building, which shall house the Holmes County’s Sheriff’s Office. This project is outlined in Florida Commerce Agreement HL165, available in full at https://facts.fldfs.com/Search/ContractDetail.aspx?AgencyId=400000&ContractId=HL165
Goal
The County is now entering into the final phase of this project, the construction of the public safety facility (or EMS Building). The Sheriff’s Office renovation has been finalized and is now operational, and the Agricultural Center is presently nearing completion. Full, signed and sealed engineering and design plans have been completed for the EMS building. The Sheriff’s intent is to complete several aspects of the project utilizing both inmate labor and qualified contractors but will require an appropriately-licensed and qualified construction management firm to oversee the remainder of the work.
