Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action approves the First Amendment to the Agreement between Broward County (“County”) and Ricondo and Associates, Inc. (“Agreement”).
On December 14, 2021 (Item No. 50A), the Board approved the Agreement for an initial three-year term, with two one-year renewal terms in the maximum not-to-exceed amount of $5,000,000, which included reimbursables in the amount of $200,000.
Ricondo and Associates, Inc. (“Ricondo”) provides professional services and technical assistance in aviation planning and advisory services, including airside planning support services, landside and facilities planning support services, master plan implementation, strategy support, and program management for Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (“FLL”) and North Perry Airport (“HWO”).
In 2023, the Broward County Aviation Department ("BCAD") began implementation of the FLL Master Plan Program (“Master Plan”), which includes various landside and airside improvements proposed in the approved Master Plan Update. The proposed landside improvements are comprised of several connected projects to enhance access to FLL and reduce congestion on terminal area roadways. The improvements include an Intermodal Center, Automated People Mover circulator, Palm Garage redevelopment with a commercial center and potential on-site hotel, Cypress Garage expansion, and other minor connected projects. These are critical projects that are necessary for BCAD and will enhance operations at FLL.
Ricondo has been providing aviation planning, program implementation, and advisory services to assist BCAD in progressing the critical projects mentioned above. Ricondo is the primary consultant providing professional consultant services to update the initial phases of the Master Plan, including oversight of Phase 1A and 1B implementation. Continued consultant services are needed to bridge the gap from planning and programming to the initial steps of the Master Plan implementation. Additional funds will ensure continuity of services until a new consultant is selected for the design and construction of the projects that fall under Phase 1A of the Master Plan.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise ("DBE") goal of 10% for this project. Ricondo committed to 10% DBE participation. To date, Ricondo has been paid $2,349,298 and has paid DBE firms $414,620, for 17.65% participation (Exhibit 2).
The proposed First Amendment will provide funding for continued consultant services, increasing labor by $4,800,000 (from $4,800,000 to $9,600,000), and increasing reimbursables by $200,000 (from $200,000 to $400,000), for a revised total Agreement amount of $10,000,000, and update certain terms in the Agreement.
The proposed First Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
