Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT 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 (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise participation goal of 35% 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 seek a qualified professional consulting architectural and engineering firm to provide the relevant professional services for the complete rehabilitation and reconstruction of the existing West Copans Road Transit Operation and Maintenance Facility. The relevant professional services shall include, but are not limited to, analysis and documentation of the existing site/structures, comprehensive design, complete construction contract package documentation, and construction administration.
The Request for Proposals (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. 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 Procurement Code references in the RFP will be updated to the most recently adopted Procurement Code prior to RFP advertising.
This RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and all matters have been addressed.
