Explanation:
The City Commission requested that staff pursue market research in determining redevelopment opportunities for 30.58 acres of City-owned real estate, which may include the City’s current Public Works Compound.
On March 15, 2018, RFP No 4585-18-PB. Redevelopment Opportunity was posted on Bidsync.
On May 14, 2018, RFP No. 4585-18-PB opened at 3:00 P.M. and resulted in a response from the following four firms: Park Road Development, LLC, Bridge Development Partners, LLC, Immo Corp Ventures, and Prologis.
On July 1, 2018, an evaluation committee consisting of six voting members from Development Services, Public Works, Communication, Marketing and Economic Development and two non-voting members from Public Works and Procurement Services met and began evaluating proposals.
Based upon information provided in the firm’s proposals, the evaluation committee unanimously decided to have all firms make oral presentations.
The evaluation of the proposals was based on the criteria/factors established in the RFP as follows: Qualifications, Experience, and Declarations, Development Team, Development Plan, Detailed Financial Plan, Management Plan, Development Timeframe, and Purchase Price and Tax Revenue.
Lambert Advisory was retained by the City as a third party consultant to evaluate all four firms’ detailed Financial Plans which was outlined in evaluation criteria/factor four.
After the proposals were evaluated, the Evaluation Committee requested oral presentations from the four firms.
On August 22, 2018 oral presentations were held and after the oral presentations, the resultant preliminary scores were compiled to arrive at the rankings, first choice to fourth contingent upon review of Lambert Advisory’s evaluation of each of the firms’ Detailed Financial Plans:
The Park Road Development, LLC 302 Points
Immo Corp Ventures 271 Points
Prologis 269 Points
Bridge Development Partners, LLC 231Points
On October 9, 2018, the evaluation committee met to discuss the financial evaluation and analysis provided by Lambert Advisory and final scores were compiled to arrive at the final rankings, first to fourth as follows:
1. The Park Road Development, LLC 379 Points
2. Immo Corp Ventures 337 Points
3. Prologis 336 Points
4. Bridge Development Partners, LLC 287 Points
On December 5, 2018, the Evaluation Committee recommended that the City Commission authorize the negotiation of an agreement with the highest ranked firm, The Park Road Development, LLC, embodying the terms and conditions approved by the City Commission. However, the City Commission directed staff to send a Best and Final Offer to all four firms.
On January 15, 2019 Procurement Services sent electronically a Best and Final Offer Letter to all four firms, providing instructions and identifying a return date of February 14, 2019 by 3:00PM. A BAFO submittal was not required to remain in consideration.
The following firms submitted a Best and Final Offer: Park Road Development, LLC, Bridge Development Partners, LLC and Immo Corp Ventures. The Prologis BAFO is the same as the original submittal.
The Best and Final Offers are to be viewed, discussed, and evaluated by the City Commission on February 27, 2019.
The City Commission will rank firms accordingly and will authorize the negotiation of an agreement with the top ranked firm.
Upon an agreement being negotiated with the top ranked firm, an agreement will be considered by the City Commission at a later date.
If during negotiations an agreement cannot be reached with the top ranked firm, staff will continue negotiations with the next highest ranked firm(s), in order, until an agreement is reached which will be considered by the City Commission at a later date.
