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 of “Cooperatively delivering an efficient and accessible regional intermodal transportation network” and its Goal to “Support the development, design and construction of sustainable, multi-modal transportation facilities throughout the County, to meet the demands of residents, travelers, and businesses.”
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a County Business Enterprise participation goal of 30% for this project (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage the services of a qualified firm to provide consulting services for bike lanes and lighting improvements for West Hillsboro Boulevard from Loxahatchee Road to State Road 7 within the City of Parkland. The Project consists of the addition of new bike lanes at both northbound and southbound directions, providing missing sidewalk connections, ADA improvements, new lighting system, new one-lane roundabout at NW 64th Terrace/NW 74th Place/West Hillsboro Boulevard, milling and resurfacing, signing and markings, and landscaping.
The RFP method of procurement was selected for this project to best serve the County with additional evaluation criteria other than price alone. The RFP method provides for predefined evaluation criteria for ranking of firms based upon the required specialized technical expertise. Proposers are required to determine the best method to accomplish these specialized services. 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).
This RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and all matters have been addressed.
