Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT AND THE SELECTION NEGOTIATION COMMITTEE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action approves the Selection Negotiation Committee's recommendation of the final ranking of qualified firms.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a 25% Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“ACDBE”) participation goal for this project.
The purpose of this solicitation is to procure an experienced and innovative provider with proven understanding and experience in common use passenger lounge operation that will enhance the passenger experience at Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (“FLL”). The firm shall be responsible to design, build, operate, and manage a common use lounge in Terminal 3 at FLL.
On August 20, 2019 (Item No. 6), the Board approved Request for Letters of Interest (“RLI”) No. 20180423-0-AV-01, Common Use Passenger Lounge Concession at FLL. Seven firms submitted a proposal in response to the RLI; ALD Development Corporation d/b/a Airport Dimensions, Global Lounge Network, LLC, MAG US Lounge Management LLC, Oxygen Premium Services LLC, Panpe Group Corp., Premium Lounge (Fort Lauderdale) LLC, and Swissport SAUSA, LLC.
On January 22, 2020, a Shortlisting Meeting was held. The Selection Negotiation Committee determined that six of the seven firms were deemed to be both responsive and responsible to the RLI requirements. Swissport SAUSA LLC, was deemed non-responsive and responsible due to their inability to meet the established ACDBE participation goal.
On February 5, 2020, a Presentation Meeting was held. The Selection Negotiation Committee ranked 1 - MAG US Lounge Management LLC; 2 - ALD Development Corporation d/b/a Airport Dimensions; 3 - Oxygen Premium Services, LLC; 4 - Premium Lounge (Fort Lauderdale) LLC; 5 - Global Lounge Network, LLC; 6 - Panpe Group Corp.
