Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) initially established a 12% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal. Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger) committed to 12% DBE participation, which was reviewed and approved by OESBD. Subsequently, OESBD determined that no DBE participation goal shall apply due to change in the federal regulations governing the DBE Program (Exhibit 2).
This contract provides for all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary for the rehabilitation of Taxiway A at Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The construction includes the removal of existing 35-foot shoulders and replacement with 30-foot shoulders, associated drainage improvements, upgraded lighting and signage, new pavement markings, off-pavement grading, and widening and realignment of the north tenant ramp connectors to improve aircraft movement and operational flow.
This contract carries a 100% performance and payment guaranty. The vendor has provided a bid guaranty obligating the vendor to provide requisite performance and payment guaranty, upon notice of award.
The contract includes allowances in the amount of $1,233,500. Expenditures under the allowances must be approved by the Contract Administrator and will be reimbursed at the vendor’s actual cost without mark-up (Exhibit 1).
Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) has reviewed the bid submitted by Ranger in the amount of $17,892,543, inclusive of $1,233,500 in allowances, and concurs with the recommendation for award (Exhibit 3).
One County vendor performance evaluation has been completed for Ranger; the vendor has an overall performance rating of 4.0 out of possible rating of 5.0. Copies of the vendor performance evaluations are available upon request.
The Purchasing Division and the Using Agency reviewed the prices submitted by Ranger and, after analysis and review with the Engineer of Record, concluded that the prices submitted by Ranger are fair and reasonable in comparison to the Engineer’s Estimate (Exhibit 4).
The bid was advertised on June 11, 2025 and opened on July 15, 2025; four bids were received with no declinations (Exhibit 1).
The Recommendation for Award was posted on the Purchasing Division website. There was no protest filed against this procurement.
Ranger’s bid validity expired on November 12, 2025, and Ranger has agreed to extend it through December 15, 2025.
The amounts referenced in this agenda item were rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Vendor payments will be based on the actual total bid amount. The bid tabulation reflects the actual amount of the award.
