Time is scrupulously observed. Under no circumstances will late packages be accepted. Any late packages will be returned to the Proposer unopened. Proposer shall not include information or responses to qualification requests for more than one project in any one envelope or box. PURPOSE

This document shall serve to provide interested parties with specific information as to the Procedures for Selection of a MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLANNING SERVICES Firm where the method of compensation is a Negotiated Fee or other methods of compensation depending upon the scope of services. Pursuant to the Florida Consultant’s Competitive Negotiation Act, Section 287.055 Florida Statutes, the Canaveral Port Authority intends to contract with one Firm, which may or may not represent a comprehensive master planning team, to provide professional services as outlined herein. In determining whether a consultant team is qualified, the Canaveral Port Authority shall consider such factors as the abilities and maritime/port-relevant experience of principals and supporting professional personnel; past experience and project performance especially as it relates to port and/or maritime master planning; client references; and public outreach and stakeholder relations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Port Canaveral is Florida’s fastest growing cruise port and is among the top three busiest cruise ports in the world. The Port has recently completed, and is currently considering, a number of cruise, cargo and commercial development projects. These projects may include new cruise and cargo terminals, parking garages, harbor channel widening and deepening, rail access and connections. The Port has also recently opened an iconic Exploration Tower that serves as a centerpiece for The Cove commercial district, home to restaurants, retail, entertainment and a variety of maritime uses. The goal of this RFQ is to prepare a new comprehensive master plan for The Port that will identify, examine, and position The Port to address future needs for planning horizons of 10, 20 and 50 years. The Master Plan is intended to set policies that will guide future development at the Port. It will not authorize any specific capital expenditures. Rather, each component of the Master Plan will be individually reviewed and approved by the Port at the appropriate time. Approval of specific components is contingent on funding and an analysis of return-on-investment, among other things. That said, the consulting team must work with the Port to identify specific demand thresholds for cruise, cargo, commercial development and recreation facilities such that appropriate triggers are defined for planning, programming, design & construction of required plan elements and respective projects. All aspects of the master plan will require proven qualifications in analyzing real estate fundamentals. This Port master plan must address all Port owned or controlled assets including core Port property, inland port and logistics properties, and transportation assets related to and serving port operations. Project will require expertise in the following areas:

• Cruise, Cargo and Commercial & recreation facility development planning • Demand Forecasting with demand threshold expertise • Capacity Analysis • Land use planning • Intermodal Transportation planning • Public outreach • Environmental planning • Sustainability planning



• Alternatives Identification & Analysis • Capital improvements & Implementation planning • Financial with focus on asset-based analysis • Graphical presentation/Visual communications • Land valuation analysis • Real estate portfolio life cycle analysis

Public participation is critical to this process. The Canaveral Port Authority intends to enter into an agreement with a single master planning team for the project. The consultant team will be responsible for producing a plan consistent with all local, state and federal requirements, including The Port’s charter and state statutes governing Port operations. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

Firms interested in providing Master and Strategic Planning Services to the Canaveral Port Authority for development of The Port’s master plan shall submit two (2) original, marked "ORIGINAL", five (5) each marked "COPY", and one (1) COMPLETE electronic copy on a CD or USB drive in PDF format, of the requested qualification data for evaluation.

Board of Commissioners shall engage, or authorize one or more persons to engage, one or more of the highest ranked Firms, in negotiations for purposes of defining a scope of work and corresponding cost for purposes of executing contract to perform the work. At

WORK OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT & WELFARE TO WORK TAX CREDIT Section 320.20(4)(b) Paragraph 2 of the Florida Statutes encourages employment of participants in the welfare transition program on construction projects funded under the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Program. Two programs, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and the Welfare to Work Tax Credit (WtW) Programs assist employers in employing individuals eligible or participating in the welfare transition program. WOTC provides a tax incentive to employers for hiring individuals from certain target groups to help them enter or re-enter the labor force. WtW provides a tax incentive to employers for hiring individuals who have been on long-term family assistance to enter or re-enter the work force. More detailed information regarding the WOTC and WtW programs is available at the U.S. Department of Labor website at: www.uses.doleta.gov/tax.asp.
