THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT/OPERATIONS DIVISION RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development did not assign County Business (CBE) goals for this project, because there are no subcontracting opportunities for CBE contractors (Exhibit 3).

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.
