The three design-build teams that bid to build-out the fairgrounds infrastructure are: o J.B. Coxwell Contracting Inc. and GAI Consultants Inc. o AJAX Building Co. LLC and CHW Professional Consultants. o Philips & Jordan Inc. and Haskell. City procurement officials will score the April 28 presentations/bids and the committee could make a selection before the end of May. City Council earmarked $15 million to help relocate the fairgrounds out of Downtown when it approved Mayor Lenny Curry's five-year Capital Improvement Plan in September 2021. The fair is working with Scherer Construction of North Florida LLC and Kasper Architecture + Associates Inc. to design and determine the cost of the facilities it wants in a new fairgrounds, Olson said. What's planned Plans include a 40,000- to 60,000-square-foot event and expo center; administrative offices; a warehouse-style storage facility; and an event stage able to accommodate multiday music and entertainment festivals. There also would be a multipurpose barn that Olson said would be used for the livestock and agricultural activities and be built on the adjacent city-owned Equestrian Center property. He said the fair leadership is scheduled to meet April 29 with the Northeast Florida Equestrian Society, the nonprofit operator of the Equestrian Center, to continue talks about the barn. "It's going to be a benefit to the Equestrian Center because they're going to use it year-round to do their bigger shows," Olson said. "They have a need, too, for that type of facility." The new fairgrounds will use Finger Lake Street as an access road off of POW-MIA Memorial Parkway and built several entrances and exits on Normandy Boulevard, Olson said. The site is close to Cecil Commerce Center. He said the fair would take the estimates and obtain funding that would be paid back with the sale proceeds. Olson hopes the entertainment stage can bring year-round events that can make up for the parking revenue the fair association will lose by moving away from the stadium complex. He said the campgrounds, parking and RV hookups at the Equestrian Center could bring in music festivals and even entice the Welcome to Rockville festival back to Duval County after it moved to Daytona Beach in 2021. _________________________________________________________ The scope of work required of the selected Design-Build Firm for this project may include design, permitting, and construction elements necessary for the Fairgrounds Relocation The scope of work required of the selected Design-Build Firm for this project may include, but not be limited to, the following design, permitting, and construction elements necessary for the Fairgrounds Relocation: renovation or new construction of roadways, drainage systems, intersection improvements, streetscapes, sidewalks, pavement marking and signing, parking areas, traffic signing and signals, lighting, retaining walls, bulkheads, bridges, culverts, utility construction/repair, underground and/or aboveground utilities, and various other appurtenant work in accordance with the requirements specified in the Design Criteria Package prepared by City.
