Previous Action Taken
Summary Explanation/Background
Pursuant to Section 255.065, Florida Statutes (the "Statute"), the County is authorized to establish a reasonable application fee for the submission of an unsolicited proposal. On January 28, 2020, the Board directed the Office of the County Attorney to draft, in consultation with County staff, a proposed Resolution amending the Broward County Administrative Code to (i) establish a reasonable application fee for the submission of an unsolicited proposal under the Statute, and (ii) authorize the County Administrator to take any and all actions permitted under the Statute with respect to the reasonable application fee.
After consultation with County staff, the Office of the County Attorney has drafted the proposed Resolution establishing an application fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for qualifying projects for which the estimated development and operation costs are less than or equal to Twenty-five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and a fee of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for qualifying projects for which the estimated development and operation costs exceed Twenty-five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). In addition, the proposed Resolution grants the County Administrator the authority to take, on behalf of the County, any and all actions permitted under the Statute with respect to the application fee, including, but not limited to, requesting any additional amounts in the event that the application fee does not cover the County's costs to evaluate the unsolicited proposal, or returning the application fee if the County chooses not to evaluate the proposal.
