Explanation:
The City of Hollywood seeks to complete the Citywide sidewalk network to improve pedestrian safety and alternative modes of transportation. Grant funding for new sidewalk construction can be secured under the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Complete Streets and other Localized Initiatives program.
On November 1, 2017, the City Commission approved Resolution R-2017-323, supporting the Complete Streets and other Localized Initiatives Program (“CSLIP”) grant application to the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (“MPO”) for the Sheridan Park & Hollywood Acres Sidewalk Network Project.
On November 6, 2019, the Broward MPO issued an award letter for the project, which was included in the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) five-year work program for construction in FY-2027.
On January 20, 2021, the City Commission approved Resolution R-2021-013, continuing to support the above-referenced CSLIP project; inclusive of entering into a Local Agency Program (“LAP”) Agreement with the FDOT, which serves as an instrument to receive reimbursement funds for expenditures related to the design, construction, and construction engineering and inspections services of these projects. City funds have been committed to paying for the upfront costs of the projects.
FDOT and the City have a LAP Agreement to reimburse the City for the design costs related to the Sheridan Park project, up to a maximum amount of $276,902.00.
FDOT requires a new Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) be issued for every project that will receive LAP funding for design services. The City has followed the requirements set forth in Section 287.055 Florida Statutes, entitled “Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act” (“CCNA”) and the City’s Procurement Code to obtain the services of engineering design consultants for this project.
On September 3, 2025, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2025-304, approving the consultant ranking recommended pursuant to RFQ-327-25-WV, and authorizing the appropriate City officials to negotiate a contract with the top-ranked firm, HBC Engineering Company.
The Department of Design and Construction Management (“DCM”) negotiated a scope and fee with HBC Engineering Company in an amount up to $379,964.86 in accordance with FDOT LAP guidelines, that staff has determined, and FDOT has concurred, to be fair and reasonable.
The Deputy Director of DCM recommends the execution of the Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Design Services with HBC Engineering Company, for the Sheridan Park & Hollywood Acres Sidewalk Network Project in an amount not to exceed $379,964.86.
Fiscal Impact:
A portion of the funding for this agreement is available in account number 111.179901.54100.563030.002017.000.000 and the remaining amount requires amending the approved FY 2026 Capital Improvement Plan as detailed in Exhibit 1, subject to approval of this resolution.
Funding for construction engineering and inspections, and for construction services related to this project will be requested in a future Capital Improvement Plan. The Construction Engineering and Inspection services will also be reimbursed by FDOT
