Q: Do we do it in phases based on the budget? A: No, look at the whole project. The City will phase it during construction. Q: Do you want to use Standard Form 330 instead of 254 & 255? A: You can't submit unless you are here at the meeting today, so since we have all the participants, if everyone here would prefer the 330 then we will make the conversion. There were no objections, so it was decided that we will use the 330, however the 254 & 255 will also be accepted. Q: Is that included in the IS-pages, can we submit both? A: No, it is not included in the 15 pages. Please get to the point within the 15 pages. This is going to be based on your qualifications. Get to them, tell us why you are the firm to pick over all the others because you are better at this particular project. Q: This is the first time there has been a request for an Economist on the Team for FDOT property, and he is not sure he can find one. [It was noted that there are a lot out there. ] A: We are not just looking at the FDOT property, the key is, the thing that we have never had before, and that is the 1 O-foot easement on private property. How are we going to make that viable for those businesses to want to participate in this process rather than them fighting us every step of the way. What we need is something that we can go to them with and say, it is your property, we got this easement, here is how we can workjointly to develop this property and make it an assetfor both of us. You may want to look at somebody who actually understands those kinds of business relationships, who understands the financial aspects, and it may be an accountant rather than an Economist but somebody who is going to make this viable. If you have somebody on your team and you feel you don't need an Economist and you state why they are better than anybody and you prove it, that's okay. We are trying to get you to understand there is an issue here that needs to be addressed and that is how are you going to get these businesses to come on board and make it acceptable to them. Q: You said the business is important, I thought you had a 10-foot easement to build on? A: We have the easement, the easement doesn't build, it doesn't create money, we are going to build on that easement. Q: The property owners will get something on that easement, he's not paying for it is he? A: We want to see what kind of options there are to get them involved. We are looking for how this can be a participatory process. Q: I understand you don't have the easements on the existing plan but is that available to see, the existing plan that you have that you scrapped, can we get a copy? A: Yes, it will be sent out electronically. Pre-Bid !\Ieeting Minutes RFQ 07-07-033 Page 3 of 5
