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 24.73% CBE participation through August 31, 2025, based on information provided by SP Plus and is in the process of verifying these reported payments (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 this 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 for 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 renewal terms. The initial term of this Agreement began on November 1, 2020, and ended on October 31, 2023, and both renewal terms were exercised, extending the Agreement through October 31, 2025.
The Agreement provides for SP Plus to provide parking management services for the Port Everglades Department (“PEV”) parking facilities and includes the management and operation of all PEV’s parking facilities. Services under this Agreement include, among other things, all required personnel and staffing for revenue collection, equipment, signage, cruise passenger shuttle bus services within the Port, and supplies to perform revenue collection, custodial cleaning, and other inspections and routine maintenance, as requested.
The Agreement’s dollar amounts are based on estimated reimbursable expenses and an annual management fee. The reimbursable expenses are a pass-thru 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 if incurred and only as 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 Broward County Board of County Commissioners’ 2024 Summer Recess. The County Administrator approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with SP Plus on August 15, 2024, which increased the not-to-exceed amount, increased certain reimbursable rates, and added new parking facilities that SP Plus would manage at PEV.
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 to the initial Agreement period, from November 1 through November 30, 2025, while the proposed Second Amendment is 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 $9,848,372.75. The short-term extension was required to allow OESBD time to address a late request from SP Plus to substitute for one of their CBE subcontractors. OESBD is expected to complete their review before the Board acts on this item.
The proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement (“Amendment”) extends the Agreement for eleven months on a month-to-month basis through October 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier by the Director of Purchasing, and increases 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 (includes the initial term, extension terms, and month-to-month extensions). The funding threshold increase is required to account for the additional up to twelve-month Agreement extension from the end of the second renewal term, rate increases for the operating services for the Port’s parking facilities, and projected increases in cruise guest parking resulting from additional multi-day cruise ship calls scheduled for Fiscal Year 2026. The Amendment also includes an increase to the reimbursable hourly rate for certain services provided by CBE subcontractor S. Davis & Associates to resolve a billing dispute and authorizes that new rate to be applied retroactive to November 1, 2024.
The Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
