40IWFLFTLD016838.2026 <br />ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES <br />(CCNA) RFQ # 26-07-01 <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL <br />MECHANICAL, ENGINEERING, AND PLUMBING ENGINEERING <br />Straz Performing Arts Center Cooling Plant Expansion, <br />Tampa, FL <br />Kimley-Horn is providing civil engineering, landscape architecture, and mechanical <br />engineering services for this $100 million, transformative expansion of the David <br />A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts (Straz Center) in downtown Tampa, <br />Florida. Already a marquee destination for locals, visitors, and performers, the <br />vision for the Straz Center seeks to enhance the user experience with new, high- <br />end amenity concepts, community gathering spaces, and greater performance <br />capabilities. Design features include an arrival plaza with pathways and outdoor <br />terraces, culminating dramatically with The Veil; an eye-catching structural façade <br />that strengthens the connection to the Tampa Riverwalk. The central gathering <br />areas will be used for community events, free performances, and social gatherings <br />independent of traditional show times. Improvements to the Straz Center itself include a new rooftop restaurant and <br />lounge, as well as the Patel Conservatory Expansion, which will result in 30% more rehearsal and planning space <br />for music, dance, and theater programs. Kimley-Horn is also providing MEP, structural design, and commissioning <br />services for the replacement of the two existing cooling towers for the Straz Center central energy plant. The goal of <br />the replacement project is to equip the central energy plant with higher-capacity cooling towers that still fit within the <br />existing cooler yard. <br />Dates of Service: <br />2024–Ongoing <br />Contact: <br /> H Jonathan R.
