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 Values of “Cooperatively delivering an efficient and accessible regional intermodal transportation network” and “Ensuring economic opportunities for Broward’s diverse population 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 Broward County Workforce Investment Program (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage the services of a qualified firm to provide continuing professional services for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) and design services for roadway and traffic projects.
The 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, 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 RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and all matters were addressed.
