Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT / HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This item supports the Board’s Value for “Cooperatively delivering an efficient and accessible regional intermodal transportation network”; its Goals to “Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance Broward County’s economy and livability” and “Support the development, design and construction of sustainable, multi-modal facilities throughout the County, to meet the demands of residents, travelers, and businesses.”
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise participation goal of 30% for this project. The OESBD determined that this project is not subject to the Workforce Investment Program (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage the services of a qualified firm to develop a prioritized schedule of signalized intersection capacity improvement projects.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) method of procurement was selected for this project to best serve the County with additional evaluation criteria. The RFP method provides for predefined evaluation criteria for ranking of firms based upon the required specialized technical expertise. Due to the requirements of the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), this RFP will not use price as an evaluation criterion; therefore, proposers are required to determine the best method to accomplish the specialized services as outlined in the RFP (Exhibit 1).
The local and/or locally based business certification form will be updated prior to RFP Advertisement (based on the most recently enacted Local Preference ordinance changes and tie break criteria).
The RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and all matters were addressed.
