Structural Engineer of Record (Florida PE) for Industrial Steel Crane Building Project Overview We are seeking an experienced Florida Licensed Structural Engineer (PE) or structural engineering firm to serve as the Structural Engineer of Record (EOR) for a new industrial manufacturing facility located in Punta Gorda, Florida. The project consists of a large steel industrial building with overhead bridge cranes and an attached reinforced masonry office. The selected engineer will act as the Florida Structural EOR and provide structural engineering, foundation engineering, permit support, and coordination with the steel building supplier. Civil engineering has been completed and the site development permit has already been issued. Architectural and MEP drawings are substantially complete and will be provided for coordination. Project Description Approximate project components include: 40,000 SF enclosed industrial steel building Approximate dimensions: 100 ft × 400 ft Approximately 70 ft building height Approximately 3,000 SF reinforced CMU office One 30-ton overhead bridge crane One 10-ton overhead bridge crane Crane spans approximately 80-86 ft Integrated crane runway system Large overhead doors Heavy industrial equipment loading Project Delivery Approach The steel building may be supplied by a domestic or international steel building manufacturer. The selected supplier will provide engineered shop drawings and structural calculations for the building system. The Structural EOR will establish design criteria, review delegated design documents, coordinate structural interfaces, and prepare permit drawings and calculations required for Florida permitting. Experience working with steel building suppliers and delegated design packages is preferred. Scope of Services The selected engineer should be capable of performing or coordinating the following: Structural Engineering Structural analysis and calculations Wind load analysis Foundation design Slab-on-grade design Structural anchorage Base plate and anchor bolt design or review Reinforced CMU office structural design Structural load path development Crane Support Engineering Crane runway design Crane support framing Crane load analysis Lateral and longitudinal crane forces Foundation reactions and load transfer Permit Documents Florida PE signed and sealed structural drawings Structural calculations Permit support Plan review responses Design Review and Coordination Review supplier calculations and drawings Review delegated design packages Review structural revisions Review shop drawings Review material substitutions Coordinate accepted revisions into final permit documents Ground Improvement Coordination The site is expected to utilize ground improvement measures based on geotechnical recommendations. The Structural EOR will coordinate foundation design with the geotechnical engineer and ground improvement engineer. Design of the ground improvement system itself is not required unless specifically proposed by the consultant. Design Criteria The project will be designed in accordance with applicable standards including: Florida Building Code ASCE 7 AISC AWS ACI 318 TMS 402/602 MBMA (where applicable) CMAA criteria for overhead cranes The owner's goal is a robust industrial facility designed for long-term service and Florida wind requirements.
