Edelcup, Mayor Lewis J. Thaler, Vice Mayor Roslyn Brezin, Commissioner Gerry Goodman, Commissioner George "Bud" Scholl, Commissioner A. John Szerlag, City Manager Hans Ottinot, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, City Clerk MEMORANDUM The Honorable City Commission A. John Szerlag, City Manager " Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager Y Rick Conner, Director of Public Works 0 December 13,2007 Qualifying and Ranking of General Architectural Services Firms (RFQ 07-07-02) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution qualifying and ranking two (2) firms in response to RFQ No. 07-07-02 General Architectural Services Firms and authorizing continuing consulting agreements. REASONS: As a fast moving community with countless improvement and capital projects underway, we are in constant need of Architectural services. For each large capital project, we will continue to send out specific Request for Qualifications (RFQs) and will ask the Commission to authorize each and every one. However, for small ongoing projects (add a shower to a park restroom, provide a budget figure estimate for the construction of a project the Commission is considering, begin the process of obtaining permits for a small improvement project, provide a set of plans to FDOT to allow us to rework some curbing on Collins Avenue, etc.) where time is almost always of the essence, we need to have some one we can call on to move forward quickly. That is the intent and purpose of these contracts. They have no funding and none is necessary, as the services will only be provided when requested by the City for a specific project and the fees would be charged to that project. We currently have such a contract with Calvin-Giordano but feel we need to have other firms available with other specialties. The firms we have recommended for approval can help us with stormwater, traffic, paving, surveying, permitting, parks, construction inspection, structural projects, as well as other issues. We are therefore asking you to authorize the City Manager to enter into continuing agreements with these firms.
