For Additional Project Information Contact: Additional Project Specific Information Contact: Project Manager: Karen Hamberger Phone: Procurement Process Related Information Contact: Purchasing Agent: Nancy Miller Phone: Selection Process A Selection Committee (SC) will be responsible for recommending the most qualified firms and ranking them for negotiation. The process for this procurement may proceed in the following manner: Review Responses The Purchasing Division delivers the submittals to agency staff for summarization for the Selection Committee members. The Office of Economic and Small Business Development staff evaluates submittals to determine compliance with the Office of Economic and Small Business Development Program requirements, if applicable. Agency staff will prepare an analysis report which includes a matrix of responses submitted by the firms. This may include a technical review, if applicable. Staff will also identify any incomplete responses. The Director of Purchasing will review the information provided in the matrix and will make a recommendation to the Selection Committee as to each firm s responsiveness to the requirements of the RLI. The final determination of responsiveness rests solely on the decision of the Selection Committee. Rev Page 10 of 47

13 Short Listing The SC will meet to create a short list of the most qualified firms. The matrix and staff analysis report is a tool that the SC may use in its decision-making process. The County will not consider oral or written communications, prior to the conclusion of short-listing the firms, which may vary the terms of the submittals. Cone of Silence At the time of the Selection Committee appointment (which is typically prior to the advertisement of the solicitation document) in this RLI process, a Cone of Silence will be imposed. Section 1-266, Broward County Code of Ordinances as revised, provides that after Selection Committee appointment, potential vendors and their representatives are substantially restricted from communicating regarding this RLI with the County Administrator, Deputy and Assistants to the County Administrator and their respective support staff, or any person appointed to evaluate or recommend selection in this RLI process. For communication with County Commissioners and Commission staff, the Cone of Silence allows communication until the Shortlist Meeting of the Selection Committee. After the application of the Cone of Silence, inquiries regarding this RLI should be directed to the Director of Purchasing or designee. The Cone of Silence terminates when the County Commission or other awarding authority takes action which ends the solicitation. Demonstrations If this box is checked, then this project will lend itself to an additional step where shortlisted firms demonstrate the nature of their offered solution. After the Short List Meeting, shortlisted firms will be notified of the desired demonstration. A copy of the demonstration (hard copy, DVD, CD or a combination of both) should be given to the Purchasing Agent at the meeting to retain in the Purchasing files. Pricing Unchecked boxes do not apply to this solicitation. Price may be considered in the final evaluation and ranking of the short-listed firms. If the SC will consider price, staff will provide each short-listed firm with a pricing submittal instrument and instructions for its preparation and delivery. Price will not be a factor in evaluating or ranking the interested firms. County staff and the top ranked firm will negotiate fees for pre-construction services during the Negotiation Phase of this process. Generally, the Parties negotiate a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction services during the course of preconstruction services. Public Art and Design Program Unchecked boxes do not apply to this solicitation. Rev Page 11 of 47

The SC may provide a list of subject matter for the discussion. The firms will have equal time to present but the questionand-answer time may vary. A copy of the presentation (hard copy, DVD, CD or a combination of both) should be given to the Purchasing Agent at the meeting to retain in the Purchasing files. The SC will rank the firms and post its recommendation for three days as a Proposed Recommendation of Ranking. Following this three-day period, if no objections to the proposed ranking have been received in writing by the Director of Purchasing, a Final Recommendation of Ranking will be posted and presented to the Board for approval. At the discretion of the Board, presentations to the Board of County Commissioners by the ranked firms may be required. Negotiation and Award The Purchasing Negotiator, assisted by County staff, will attempt to negotiate a contract with the first ranked firm. If an impasse occurs, the County ceases negotiation with the firm and begins negotiations with the next-ranked firm. The final negotiated contract will be forwarded by the Purchasing Negotiator to the Selection Committee for approval, if required by the committee, or to the awarding authority for approval.
