Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise participation goal of 25% 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 on a continuing basis to provide design, permitting, and engineering services during construction for new water distribution, wastewater collection, and storm water collection projects. In accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, as amended, the estimated construction cost of each individual project under the continuing contract cannot exceed the applicable statutory thresholds.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) method of procurement was selected for this project to 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 County Auditor’s Office has reviewed the RFP and all matters were addressed.
