Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
On February 7, 2017, the City of Fort Lauderdale issued a solicitation, RFP No. 575-11849, for supplementary assistance to their staff for inspection and plan review services related to Building permits. The City of Fort Lauderdale subsequently entered into an agreement with Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) and C.A.P. Government, Inc. for these services.
Piggyback (Piggyback Cooperatives) is a form of intergovernmental cooperative purchasing in which an entity will be extended the same pricing and terms of a contract entered into by another entity. Generally the originating entity will competitively award a contract that will include language allowing for other entities to utilize the contract, which may be to their advantage in terms of pricing, thereby gaining economies of scale that they would otherwise not receive if they competed on their own. The City of Hollywood, utilizing a Piggyback approach, entered into an agreement with both of these companies to provide the same services competitively sought by the City of Fort Lauderdale for an initial term that began on June 9, 2018 and that will end on May 15, 2019. The cumulative total of both vendors are not to exceed $800,000.00 annually.
To date, the City has spent the following with each firm:
Calvin Giordano & Associates: $122,120.00
C.A.P. Government: $395,817.75
Total remaining balance from the $800,000.00 is $282,062.25.
