Explanation:
In a City of Hollywood special election held on March 12, 2019, voters approved a variety of projects to be funded by a General Obligation Bond. The Department of Design and Construction Management (DCM) has been tasked with the restoration and improvement of the Hollywood Beach golf course and club house, which was approved by the voters as one of the projects to be funded by the General Obligation Bond.
On January 20, 2021, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2021-021, ranking architectural/engineering firms selected under Request for Qualification RFQ-4653-20-DCM, and authorizing the appropriate City officials to negotiate an agreement with the highest-ranked firm, Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. (“BA”).
The scope of work includes architectural and engineering consulting services including design, construction documents, permitting, and construction administration for the new clubhouse and parking lot in the southwest corner of the property. Services will also include creation of a new plan for site drainage and raising the east side of the golf course to allow faster recovery after rain events, as well as design of a new golf course maintenance and restroom building, renovation of site landscaping, and irrigation. The renovations of the 18-hole golf course features (tees, fairway shaping, bunkers, greens, etc.) are to be designed by a Golf Course Architect (retained separately by the City) and coordinated with BA’s site plan, permitting and construction documents.
DCM, in coordination with the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department and the Procurement Division, negotiated a project scope and fee with BA for an amount not to exceed $780,325.00, that staff has determined to be fair and reasonable and in accordance with industry standards.
The Director of DCM recommends that the City Commission approve and authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the attached Professional Services Agreement with BA based upon the proposal set forth in the attached Exhibit “A” that will be included in the agreement.
