Summary Explanation/Background
THE PORT EVERGLADES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
This action supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners’ (“Board”) Value of “Building partnership and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives,” and the Goal of “Ensuring economic opportunities and a sustainable economy, with an emphasis on Broward’s lower and middle class.”
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (“OESBD”) established a County Business Enterprise (“CBE”) participation goal of 25% for this Agreement and SP Plus LLC (“SP Plus”) committed to 25% CBE participation. OESBD has determined that SP Plus has attained 24.46% CBE participation through July 31, 2026, based on information provided by SP Plus and verified by OESBD (see Exhibit 2). SP Plus has advised OESBD that the time extension will allow it to meet the CBE participation commitment, and OESBD will continue to monitor the Agreement for CBE compliance.
On October 20, 2020 (Item No. 47), the Board approved an Agreement between Broward County and SP Plus Corporation for Parking Management Services for Port Everglades (PNC 2116816P1), for an initial three-year term and a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $4,592,326, which included all reimbursable expenses and a fixed management fee. The Agreement authorized the Director of Purchasing to renew the Agreement for two additional one-year terms. The initial term began on November 1, 2020, and ended on October 31, 2023, and both one-year renewal terms were exercised, extending the Agreement through October 31, 2025.
The Agreement provides for SP Plus to manage and operate Port Everglades Department (“PEV”) parking facilities. Services under the Agreement include, among other things, personnel and staffing for revenue collection, equipment, signage, cruise passenger shuttle bus services within the Port, and supplies for revenue collection, custodial cleaning, inspections, and routine maintenance, as requested.
The Agreement’s dollar amounts are based on estimated reimbursable expenses and an annual management fee. Reimbursable expenses are pass-through costs for various services, such as staffing, payroll, shuttles, supplies, uniforms, signage, cleaning services, and other operational costs and expenses for unforeseen conditions or emergency situations. Reimbursable expenses are paid only if incurred and approved by PEV’s Contract Administrator.
On June 18, 2024 (Item No. 44), the Board authorized the County Administrator to approve and/or execute agreements, contract amendments, work authorizations, and other documents during the Board’s 2024 Summer Recess. On August 15, 2024, the County Administrator approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with SP Plus, which increased the not-to-exceed amounts, increased certain reimbursable rates, memorialized the addition of Parking Lot A to the list of parking facilities, updated the names of the parking facilities, and updated the location of the Parking Management Office.
On February 12, 2025, SP Plus Corporation merged with Metropolis Technologies, Inc., and a name change was filed with the State of Florida, changing the name from SP Plus Corporation to SP Plus LLC.
On October 17, 2025, the Director of Purchasing approved a one-month extension of the Agreement, from November 1 through November 30, 2025, while the proposed Second Amendment was under consideration, and increased the maximum not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement by $310,000 to a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $9,848,373. The short-term extension was required to allow OESBD time to address a late request from SP Plus to substitute one of its CBE subcontractors.
On November 13, 2025 (Item No. 6), the Board approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement, which extended the Agreement for eleven months on a month-to-month basis through October 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated by the Director of Purchasing, and increased the maximum not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement by $2,994,695 to a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $12,533,067.
The proposed Third Amendment to the Agreement (“Amendment”) adds six additional one-month extension terms, extending the Agreement on a month-to-month basis from November 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, unless the extensions are discontinued by the Director of Purchasing with 30 days’ written notice. The Amendment also increases the maximum not-to-exceed amount by $3,272,897, from $12,533,067 to $15,805,964, and updates the management fee and other terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Amendment also includes a number of changes for consistency with changes in state law since the previous amendment. The extension is required while the County completes the procurement process for a new parking management provider.
The increase in the maximum not-to-exceed amount accounts for the additional extension period, including projected reimbursable operating expenses and the management fee. These projected costs include parking facility operations, shuttle services, operating costs associated with additional parking facilities coming on line during the extension term, and anticipated increases in cruise guest parking during Fiscal Year 2027.
The Third Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney. The amendment is completing final review within SP Plus before execution, and the Board will be advised through the Monday Night Memo if the amendment is not executed by SP Plus prior to the meeting.
