Development of City-Owned Parcel on Pine Island Road

The City of Cooper City is soliciting qualified private firms to design, construct, and finance a public‑use facility on a five‑acre parcel located on South Pine Island Road. Unlike a typical “design‑build” contract, the City is not prescribing a specific use; proposers must submit a market‑driven concept that serves a public purpose, aligns with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and includes a financial structure (e.g., lease‑development agreement). The award will be a long‑term partnership where the selected developer assumes responsibility for all labor, materials, insurance, and related costs, and ultimately operates the facility. Key dates include a non‑mandatory pre‑proposal Zoom meeting on 29 Sep 2026, a question deadline of 6 Oct 2026, proposal submission by 2 Nov 2026, and anticipated contract award on 8 Dec 2026. The City retains broad discretion to reject, negotiate, or modify proposals and may require additional services beyond the original scope. • 5‑acre City‑owned site (Folio No. 514104030023) on S.
