Okaloosa County BOCC — February 18, 2014 — Action Item Printout

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: February 18, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Don Turner SUBJECT: SO Building Designer Selection DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board authorization to enter negotiations with the top ranked design firm that submitted proposals on the Sheriff's new Shalimar building. BACKGROUND: The members of the Selection Committee met with representatives of the county Purchasing Department to deliver their individual rankings for all of the design firms that submitted proposals to design the new Sheriff's Shalimar building. (Results attached.) The scores were tabulated and the firms ranked with the top point-getting firm being #1 and the next highest point-getting firm being ranked #2, and so on. DAG ranked as the top firm from among the proposers. County policy mandates, with BCC approval, that the county enter into negotiations with the top firm first. If negotiations with that firm are unsuccessful then the county enters into negotiations with the #2 firm and so on with the number #3 ranked firm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board authorize negotiations with the top ranked design firm that submitted proposals on the Sheriff's new Shalimar building and continue negotiations according to county policy as needed. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: Ernie Padgett, County Administrator
