Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT/SERVICE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This item supports the Board’s Connected Community Goal of “Cooperatively delivering an efficient and accessible regional intermodal transportation network."
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal of 30% for this project (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to seek a qualified professional consulting firm to provide continuing engineering and related professional consulting services to develop Program Management Plan Processes and provide program management support for and oversight of the Broward County Transportation (BCT) Department’s capital projects through a vertically integrated approach that includes both County and Consultant personnel with multiple disciplines and levels of experience. The objectives of engaging a consultant to provide professional services as program management support and oversight are to (a) develop standard Program Management Plan Processes, (b) obtain resources and expertise to implement the Program Management Plan, including supplementing and supporting BCT staff in the management of contracts during the various phases of Capital Projects, and (c) provide for specific support services pursuant to written work authorizations. The Consultant will provide program management support services for and oversight of contracts involving planning, environmental analysis, preliminary engineering, final design, preconstruction, and construction phases of capital projects.
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 RFP has been reviewed with the County Auditor’s Office and all matters were addressed.
