Agenda 12/09/2014 Item #16A16 12/9/2014 16.A.16.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the final ranking of the firms pursuant to RFP #14-6289 -
"Design-Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, East of Wilson Boulevard" and authorize
staff to enter into contract development between Collier County and the top-ranked firm,
Ajax Paving Industries, Inc./Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., for subsequent Board
approval. (Project No. 60040).
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners review and approve the final ranking
of firms pursuant to RFP #14-6289 — "Design-Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, East of
Wilson Boulevard".
CONSIDERATIONS: Purchasing staff posted Request for Proposal No. 14-6289, "Design-
Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, East of Wilson Boulevard," on May 6, 2014. The County
sent 2,648 notices of 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, selected the three firms shown below. On September 9, 2014
(Agenda Item 16A28), the Board of County Commissioner (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. Then the Price Proposals were unsealed and
entered into a spreadsheet with the Technical Proposals to create a final ranking of the firms.
The selection committee ranked the three firms, by consensus, as follows:
FIRM NAME PRICE TECHNICAL
(Base+ALT.A) RANK
Ajax Paving Industries,
Inc./ Stantec Consulting $19,430,000. 1
Services,Inc.
Conalvias USA, LLC/ $20,065,000. 2
Lake Engineering, Inc.
Community Asphalt
Corp./Kissinger, Campo $24,650,000. 3
& Associates, Corp.
Ajax/ Stantec had the lowest price proposal and the highest technical score, which qualified
them as the top ranked firm. Upon approval by the Board of the Selection Committee's final
ranking, a contract will be developed with the top ranked firm and submitted for subsequent
Board approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no Fiscal Impact associated with this Executive Summary. Once
the final selection is approved by the Board, contract development is completed and the contract
approved, funding is available in, and is consistent with,the FY2015 Capital Budget. The source
of funding will be road 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: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan
related to this action.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the Selection
Committee's final ranking of firms pursuant to RFP #14-6289 – "Design-Build Golden Gate
Boulevard 4-Lane, East of Wilson Boulevard" and authorizes staff to enter into contract
development between Collier County and the top-ranked firm, Ajax Paving Industries, Inc. /
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for subsequent Board approval.

• Points awarded will be extended to the first decimal point (per Microsoft Excel).
For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be
distributed among the three proposers.

Tab IV: Staffing Quality. (15 points, 10 pages maximum) The proposal will be assessed -1 point
for each additional page over the described limit. Provide a narrative describing the role of and
introducing key individuals in your firm's organization who will be assigned to the County Project. The
Proposer shall demonstrate working relationships among key personnel on the proposed team.
Resumes of proposed staff; each resume cannot exceed one (1) page in length.
Furthermore, all individuals identified as Key Personnel in the LOI shall remain on the DB's Team for
the Technical Proposal and for the duration of the procurement process and the contract. If
extraordinary circumstances require a personnel change, it must be submitted in writing to the
County's Project .Manager, who will determine whether to authorize the change. Unauthorized
changes to the Consultant's Team at any time during the procurement process may result in
elimination of the Consultant's Team from further consideration.
The Proposer shall show the capability to provide all the necessary equipment and material for project
support and execution.
Attach resumes of all managers, supervisors, and other contract team members who will be involved
in the management of the total package of services, as well as the delivery of specific services. The
same should be done for any sub-consultants. If sub-consultants are being utilized, letters of intent
from stated sub-consultants must be included with proposal submission.
Tab V: References. (Maximuml0 points) - See Attachment 8. In order for the vendor to be
awarded any points for this tab, the County requests that the vendor submits five (5) completed
reference forms from clients whose projects are of a similar nature to this solicitation as a part of their
proposal. The County will only use the methodology calculations for the first five (5) references (only)
submitted by the vendor in their proposal.
Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be applied to
each vendor's information provided in this area:
• The County shall total each of the vendor's five reference questionnaires and create a
ranking from highest number of points to lowest number of points. References marked
with an N/A (or similar notation will be given the score of zero (0)). Vendors who do not
turn in reference forms will be counted as zero (0).
• The greatest number of points allowed in this criterion will be awarded to the vendor who
has the highest score.
• The next highest vendor's number of points will be divided by the highest vendor's points
which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine the vendor's points awarded.
Each subsequent vendor's point score will be calculated in the same manner.
• Points awarded will be extended to the first decimal point (per Microsoft Excel).
For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be distributed
among the three proposers.
Vendor Total Reference
Vendor Name Score Points Awarded
Vendor ABC 445 10
Vendor DEF 435 9.8
Vendor GHI 425 9.6
Note: Sample chart reflects a 10 point reference criterion.
The points awarded by vendor will be distributed to the Selection Committee prior to their evaluation
of the proposals. The Selection Committee will review the vendor's proposal to ensure consistency

Payments are made in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Chapter 218,
Florida Statutes. Vendor's invoices must include:

Collier County, in its sole discretion, will determine the method of payment for goods and/or
services as part of this agreement. Payment methods include:
• Traditional — payment by check, wire transfer or other cash equivalent.
• Standard — payment by purchasing card. Collier County's Purchasing Card Program is
supported by standard bank credit suppliers (i.e. VISA and MasterCard), and as such, is
cognizant of the Rules for VISA Merchants and MasterCard Merchant Rules.
Collier County cautions vendors to consider both methods of payment when determining pricing
as no additional surcharges or fees will be considered (per Rules for VISA Merchants and
MasterCard Merchant Rules). The County will entertain bids clearly stating pricing for standard
payment methods. An additional separate discounted price for traditional payments may be
provided at the initial bid submittal if it is clearly marked as an "Additional Cash Discount."
Upon execution of the Contract and completion of each month's work, payment requests shall be
submitted to the Project Manager on a monthly basis by the Contractor for services rendered for
that prior month. Services beyond sixty (60) days from current monthly invoice will not be
considered for payment without prior approval from the Project manager. All invoices must be
submitted within the fiscal year the work was performed. (County's fiscal year is October 1 -
September 30.) Invoices submitted after the close of the fiscal year will not be accepted (or
processed for payment) unless specifically authorized by the Project Manager.
Payments will be made for articles and/or services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon
receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after
completion of contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period
is subject to non-payment under the legal doctrine of"laches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be
deemed of the essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement.
In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to taxes or
other fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy
these debts, the County reserves the right to off-set the amount owed to the County by applying
the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in
association with a contract.
Invoices shall not reflect sales tax. After review and approval, the invoice will be transmitted to the
Finance Division for payment. Payment will be made upon receipt of proper invoice and in
compliance with Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, otherwise known as the "Local Government

the proposal response indicating that the entity proposing, as well as the team assigned to

within Collier County is also required to have an occupational license.

required to provide the Collier County Purchasing Department an executed affidavit certifying they
shall comply with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents. If
the Vendor does not comply with providing both the acceptable E-Verify evidence and the
executed affidavit the vendor's proposal may be deemed non-responsive.

purchases not covered under the "Exceptions to the program" clause above. For additional

following website: http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. It shall be the vendor's responsibility to familiarize

comply with the laws referenced herein or the provisions of this affidavit shall constitute a breach
of the award agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate said
agreement immediately.

Attachment 5: Immigration Affidavit Certification
RFP 14-6289 Design-Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, East of Wilson Boulevard
This Affidavit is required and should be signed, notarized by an authorized principal of the firm and submitted
with formal Invitations to Bid (ITB's) and Request for Proposals (RFP) submittals. Further, Vendors / Bidders
are required to enroll in the E-Verify program, and provide acceptable evidence of their enrollment, at
the time of the submission of the vendor's/bidder's proposal. Acceptable evidence consists of a copy
of the properly completed E-Verify Company Profile page or a copy of the fully executed E-Verify
Memorandum of Understanding for the company. Failure to include this Affidavit and acceptable
evidence of enrollment in the E-Verify program may deem the Vendor / Bidder's proposal as non-
responsive. Collier County will not intentionally award County contracts to any vendor who knowingly
employs unauthorized alien workers, constituting a violation of the employment provision contained in 8 U.S.C.
Section 1324 a(e) Section 274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act("INA").
Collier County may consider the employment by any vendor of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section 274A
(e) of the INA. Such Violation by the recipient of the Employment Provisions contained in Section 274A (e) of
the INA shall be grounds for unilateral termination of the contract by Collier County.
Vendor attests that they are fully compliant with all applicable immigration laws (specifically to the 1986
Immigration Act and subsequent Amendment(s)) and agrees to comply with the provisions of the Memorandum
of Understanding with E-Verify and to provide proof of enrollment in The Employment Eligibility Verification

EXHIBIT A
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA PACKAGE
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES FOR
DESIGN-BUILD GOLDEN GATE BOULEVARD 4-LANE,
EAST OF WILSON BOULEVARD
PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Introduction
The purpose of this Exhibit is to describe the scope of work and the responsibilities of the
Design-Build (DB) firm in connection with the preparation of a Request for Proposal package
for the design and preparation of a complete set of construction plans and special provisions,
and construction of:
• Roadway improvements to the transportation facility described herein, and the
• Bridge/structural improvements for the structure identified herein.
In December of 2008, a design was completed for the 6-lane widening of Golden Gate
Boulevard (CR 876) from Wilson Boulevard to DeSoto Boulevard. Due to budget constraints
and long range transportation needs projections, the County determined that Golden Gate
Boulevard would only need four lanes. It was further determined that Transportation
Engineering (TE) Department would pursue a redesign of the project to four lanes in a four-
lane right-of-way section. The redesign would be taken to 60% plans and all permits (except
for BCB permitting) would be obtained so that the County may, at a future date, pursue final
design plans, or construct the project as a Design-Build, when construction funding becomes
available. By March 2010, the 60% redesign was completed; however, the environmental
resource permit for the project is still pending, and should be obtained by August, 2014.
The original design and subsequent 4-lane 60% re-design included the replacement of three
bridges: 1) the Golden Gate Main Canal (Bridge #034026), 2) Miller Canal (Bridge #034028),
and 3) the Faka Union Canal (Bridge #034030). Bridges No. 034026 and 034028 have since
been reconstructed with a previous construction project. This project also included the
preliminary design (4-lane) of the two bridges which shall be used for this DB project. This new
project is for the 4-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard east of Wilson Boulevard,
excluding the Wilson/Golden Gate Boulevard intersection, including the Golden Gate Main
Canal Bridge. The project begins at the beginning of the two/four-lane transition east of
Wilson Boulevard. The project terminus is the 16th Street NE intersection, including all
required FDOT standard tapers east of the intersection. An alternate price proposal for this
project with a terminus of 18th Street NE is included. FDOT standard tapers east of the
intersection are included also. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) shall not be granted to the DB firm
until after issuance of the USACOE permit and after all right-of-way has been acquired.
B. Purpose
The County is requesting Letters of Interest (LOl's) and Technical & Price Proposals from
interested firms for Design-Build services include the final design, permitting and construction
of Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, east of Wilson Boulevard. It is the intent of the County to
select and contract with one firm to perform all aspects of the design, permitting and
construction of this project. The County reserves the right to stop work before, during or after

this project and is not obligated to the DB to continue the project. This solicitation is intended
to comply with Chapter 287.055, Florida Statute.
C. DB Responsibilities
The DB will be expected to work in cooperation with the County and its designees, including
private/public utilities and stormwater systems that will be affected by the work and must be
considered with the services provided. The DB shall provide design services to accomplish the
work contained in this solicitation. The DB may retain sub-consultants for various design tasks;
however, the DB will be solely responsible for all coordination and interface with the County.
The DB shall be the single point of contract for all design services. The DB shall obtain such
additional geotechnical and surveying related information that it deems necessary for the
performance of the work. The DB will be expected to provide the following tasks:
1. Design Services for Final Design, Permitting and Construction of 4-Lane Roadway
a. The DB shall complete the 4-lane design of the Roadway utilizing the 60% design
documents that will be provided by the County, and shall provide signed and sealed
plans, calculations, and technical specifications. The DB shall familiarize itself
thoroughly with these 60% design documents and follow the development of design
to produce the final design plans. The DB shall provide progress review sets of
design documents at 90% and 100%. The design shall conform to the design
criteria already established within the 60% design package. The DB shall ensure
the constructability of the project during the design and review process. Any

specifically address long lead procurement items and conditions characteristic of
the County that may impede construction and take appropriate action. Historically,
it has been the experience of the County with projects constructed within this
general geographic area, that rock and muck will be encountered during
underground installations. Therefore the DB should consider the increased cost of
all underground work activities while preparing this bid. Further, no extra
compensation or time extension will be allowed for additional work directly
associated with the pile driving, piling drilling, splitting, excavation, crushing and
disposal, replacement of displaced volume of extracted rock with fill material or
special handling of rock, or the presence or removal of muck or any other
unsuitable soils.

covering alternative analyses, suggestions and recommendations. The design may
be subject to an independent analysis as determined by the County. The DB shall
specifically address long lead procurement items and conditions characteristic of
the County that may impede construction and take appropriate action. Historically,
it has been the experience of the County with projects constructed within this
general geographic area, that rock and muck will be encountered during
underground installations. Therefore the DB should consider the increased cost of
all underground work activities while preparing this bid. Further, no extra
compensation or time extension will be allowed for additional work directly
associated with the pile driving, piling drilling, splitting, excavation, crushing and

PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Introduction
The purpose of this Exhibit is to describe the scope of work and the responsibilities of the
Design-Build (DB) firm in connection with the preparation of a Request for Proposal

package for the design and preparation of a complete set of construction plans and special
provisions, and construction of:
• Roadway improvements to the transportation facility described herein, and the
• Bridge/structural improvements for the structure identified herein.
In December of 2008, a design was completed for the 6-lane widening of Golden Gate
Boulevard (CR 876) from Wilson Boulevard to DeSoto Boulevard. Due to budget
constraints and long range transportation needs projections, the County determined that
Golden Gate Boulevard would only need four lanes. It was further determined that
Transportation Engineering (TE) Department would pursue a redesign of the project to four
lanes in a four-lane right-of-way section. The redesign would be taken to 60% plans and all
permits (except for BCB permitting) would be obtained so that the County may, at a future
date, pursue final design plans, or construct the project as a Design-Build, when
construction funding becomes available. By March 2010, the 60% redesign was completed;
however, the environmental resource permit for the project is still pending, and should be
obtained by August, 2014.
The original design and subsequent 4-lane 60% re-design included the replacement of
three bridges: 1) the Golden Gate Main Canal (Bridge #034026), 2) Miller Canal (Bridge
#034028), and 3) the Faka Union Canal (Bridge #034030). Bridges No. 034026 and
034028 have since been reconstructed with a previous construction project. This project
also included the preliminary design (4-lane) of the two bridges which shall be used for this
DB project. This new project is for the 4-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard east of
Wilson Boulevard, excluding the Wilson/Golden Gate Boulevard intersection, including the
Golden Gate Main Canal Bridge. The project begins at the beginning of the two/four-lane
transition east of Wilson Boulevard. The project terminus is the 16th Street NE intersection,
including all required FDOT standard tapers east of the intersection. An alternate price
proposal for this project with a terminus of 18th Street NE is included. FDOT standard
tapers east of the intersection are included also. An alternate price proposal (Alternate B)
for the Resurfacing of Golden Gate Boulevard West is included also. A Notice to Proceed
(NTP) shall not be granted to the DB firm until after issuance of the USACOE permit and
after all right-of-way has been acquired.
