Summary Explanation/Background
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise goal of 30% for this project. OESBD determined that this project (excluding the 10% of professional services for architectural and engineering related services) would be subject to the Broward County Workforce Investment Program (Exhibit 4).
On November 14, 2019, Spectrum Investors, LLC (“Spectrum”), submitted an unsolicited proposal to Broward County (“County”) related to the sale, design, and construction of a Supervisor of Elections campus (“Unsolicited Proposal”), pursuant to Section 255.065, Florida Statutes.
On December 3, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) directed the County Administrator, with the assistance of County staff, to evaluate the Unsolicited Proposal. On January 7, 2020 (Deferred from December 10, 2019 - Item No.72), the Board directed the County Administrator to publish notice stating that the County had received the Unsolicited Proposal and would accept other proposals for the same project.
On January 23, 2020, the Purchasing Division published Bid No. PNC2120462F1 Broward County Supervisor of Elections Facility, for a period of 60 days. By March 23, 2020 due date, the County received two proposals from FR 1200 NW Street LLC’s (d/b/a First Industrial LLP) (Exhibit 1) and, Westchase group, Inc. (d/b/a Westchase Realty & Development LLC) (Exhibit 2).
The County Administrator, with the assistance of County staff, has evaluated the three proposals using the criteria set forth in Section 255.065, Florida Statutes, and recommends ranking the proposals in the order set forth in Motion A.
