the solicitation, 108 firms downloaded full document packages and five proposals were received by the
June 11, 2014 deadline. The selection committee met on July 17, 2014 and, by consensus, shortlisted the
three firms shown below. On September 9, 2014 (Agenda Item 16A28), the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved the shortlist of these firms and authorized staff to proceed to Step II of
the selection process (final ranking based on Technical Proposal and Price Proposal). All three firms
submitted Step II proposals on October 22, 2014. On November 3, 2014, the selection committee
convened, evaluated the Technical Proposals and scored the three firms. When the Price Proposals were
unsealed and paired with the Technical Proposals, a final ranking of the firms was created. The final
ranking was approved by the Board on December 9, 2014 (Agenda Item 16A15), as follows:

The Ajax/Stantec team had the lowest price proposal and the highest technical score, which qualified
them as the top ranked team. Since that time, Purchasing and Transportation staff has been in contract
development with Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC and have now completed the contract
document, for Board approval. The contract as written is for the base price proposal (4- laning from east
of Wilson Boulevard to east of l6t" Street East) together with Alternate A (4- laning from east of 16th
Street East to east of l 8th Street East).
Due to the complex schedule of multiple court Order of Taking hearings to acquire the right -of -way
necessary to construct the project, Ajax Paving has requested that the issuance of the Notice to Proceed be
set to the date of completion of the acquisition and full possession of the property by the county. It is
anticipated that this process will be completed in the summer of 2015 and commencement of early work
construction will begin shortly thereafter.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment in the amount of $1,100,000 will be needed to currently fund
this project in its entirety and have a small contingency for unforeseen expenses. Funding in the amount
of $19,430,000 for this construction contract will come from impact fees and gas taxes.

The county currently maintains Golden Gate Boulevard, so incremental maintenance costs ultimately
related to the improvements will be minimal compared to the overall benefits of the project. Additional
right -of -way acquisitions are required, which will add acreage to the mowing and garbage removal
maintenance at approximately $3,000 per year. Replacement of swales with closed drainage (piping) has
a useful life of approximately fifty years with recurring costs of periodic inspections and system cleaning
on a three to five year basis at an estimated cost of $5,000 per cycle. New roadway construction has a
maintenance curve of approximately 5 to 7 years before any incremental costs are required for repairs or
replacement.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote
for Board approval —SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in accordance with the goals and objectives of
the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners award Contract No.14 -6289,
Design -Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4 -Lane, East of Wilson Boulevard, to Ajax Paving Industries of
Florida, LLC in the amount of $19,430,000, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached contract after
final review by the Office of the County Attorney.
