Infrastructure & Facilites
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
All existing consulting engineering contracts related to infrastructure (water, wewer, reuse, and stormwater) projects were executed in October 2017. These contracts were renewed for a two-year term in 2021 and will expire in October 2023. The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) needs to retain professional engineering consulting firms to address the necessary capital projects in an expeditious and effective manner.
The Department and Office of Procurement Services followed the procedures established in the Florida Statue 287.055, Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (“CCNA”), and the City’s Procurement Ordinance to advertise statements of qualifications for professional consulting engineering services for infrastructure projects. On February 28, 2023, the City of Hollywood, Office of Procurement Services received statements of qualification packages from nineteen consulting engineering firms for professional services related to infrastructure projects.
The nineteen engineering companies that submitted statements of qualifications were:
1. 300 Engineering Group, LLC
2. BCC Engineering LLC
3. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc.
4. Carollo Engineers, Inc.
5. CDM Smith, Inc.
6. CES Consultants, Inc.

16. Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
17. Tetra Tech, Inc.
18. Wade Trim, Inc.

The Office of Procurement and Contract Compliance assembled a diverse selection committee composed of five highly qualified professionals. The committee included the Deputy Director of the Department of Design and Construction Management, and Department staff including the Assistant Director - Engineering, two Senior Project Managers, and one Project Manager. Members of the selection committee met on June 20, 2023, to evaluate statements of qualifications and to rank participating consulting firms. The selection committee determined that it is in the City’s best interest to select eight firms to address future capital improvement projects, including projects recommended by the Stormwater Master Plan, Water Master Plan, and Wastewater Master Plan, in an efficient and effective manner. Committee members completed the evaluation process after determining that oral presentations were unnecessary. They then ranked the firms following the stipulated guidelines in the request for qualifications package.
The following table describes the overall and final results of the top eight firms ranked from the selection process:
CITY OF HOLLYWOOD - CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS (WATER, SEWER, REUSE AND STORMWATER):
