Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT / CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT DIVISON RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established no goal participation as this is a federally funded project (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage the services of a qualified firm to provide consultant services for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) wind mitigation retrofit and improvements to the Broward County Central and North Homeless Assistance Centers (HAC) facilities, located at 920 NW 7th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311 and 1700 Blount Road, Pompano Beach, FL 33069 respectively. Additionally, the consulting work will include select improvements at the North HAC facility, including secure entry and access modifications, as well as adjacent office and restroom renovations within the Southwest quadrant of the facility.
The wind mitigation and generator improvements portion of the project is expected to be partially funded by the FEMA HMGP and is subject to the Federal fund’s terms and conditions. The FEMA funded portion will amount to 75% of the HMGP project total and the remaining 25% match will be County-funded.
The HMPG portion of funds will be limited to the reimbursement qualification by FEMA. Grant approval has been finalized. The North Homeless Assistance Center Improvements portion of the work is wholly funded by Broward County Capital Improvement funds.
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 (Exhibit 1).
The RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and any matters have been addressed.
