PUBLIC NOTICE
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) NO. 19-11/12 - REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICES ON RIGHT OF WAY AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
The City is requesting qualification statements to provide Public Information Services on Right of Way and Facilities Construction Projects.
The Office of Capital Improvement Project’s (CIP) Construction Management efforts have expanded citywide. Neighborhood right of way improvements, structural and park facilities, as well as capital renewal and replacement projects are underway in each of the three (3) City districts. The additional activity produced by these projects in turn generates an exponential need for proper and timely notification to our citizens. Keeping our residents, business owners and civic organizations well informed and actively involved is a key factor of CIP’s ongoing and growing commitment to maintain residents informed at all times.
Communications regarding the construction process is a critical element of every project. CIP is currently evolving its communications process and policies. The Office is reformulating itself to be more communication driven and proactive with the residents.
Sealed qualifications will be received until 3:00 p.m. on January 27, 2012, at the following address:
City of Miami Beach Procurement Division - Third Floor 1700 Convention Center Drive Miami Beach, Florida 33139
