THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development did not assign County Business Enterprise (CBE) goals for this procurement because there are no subcontracting opportunities for CBE contractors (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage the services of a qualified firm to manage and coordinate the safe and expeditious movement of aircraft traversing between the movement areas and the commercial air carrier ramps and remote parking areas at the Broward County Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Services will include providing ground traffic management for ingress and egress to aircraft gates and remote parking areas. The firm will also participate in various coordination meetings and collaborate with Broward County Aviation Department staff, Federal Aviation Administration staff, and other FLL stakeholders to develop best management operational practices and procedures.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) method of procurement was selected for this project to best serve the County with additional evaluation criteria other than price alone. The RFP method provides for predefined evaluation criteria for ranking of firms based upon the required specialized technical expertise. Proposers are required to determine the best method to accomplish these specialized services (Exhibit 1).
