EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Request for Proposal (RFP) 10-5571 Environmental
and Biological Studies and authorize the execution of contracts to Turell, Hall and
Associates, Inc, Boylan Environmental Consultant Inc, W. Dexter Bender and
Associates, Passarella & Associates in an estimated annual amount of $500,000.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners to contract
with proposers identified in the selection process for RFP 10-5571 to facilitate the
environmental and biological studies on an as-needed basis for Collier County
departments.
CONSIDERATIONS: In October and November 2010, the Purchasing Department met
with a variety of County departments and the Pelican Bay Service Division to determine
the scope of work requirements for biological and environmental monitoring professional .
services. The scope of work and related services is not considered architectural,
engineering, landscape architectural or surveying and mapping, and ther~fore, the
solicitation process does not fall under the Competitive Consultant Negotiation Act
(CCNA).
The RFP was developed and contained two sections to meet the different needs
between Pelican Bay and County Departments:
· Pelican Bay Section A: The Clam Bay Mangrove Monitoring and Maintenance
Program is a plan to analyze the ecological health of the mangrove system within
the Clam Bay Estuary, which includes specific monitoring activities to monitor
prior restoration activities within the Clam Bay ecosystem and the regeneration of
dying mangroves. The Selection Committee recommends that the Section A
scope of work should be coordinated by one firm.
· County Departments Section B: The Consultants will review and coordinate with
the permitting consultants and regulatory agencies in the areas of wetland
delineation and quality, mitigation, threatened and endangered species surveys,
and other requirements for obtaining permits from various agencies. The
Selection Committee recommends that the Section B scope of work is diverse
enough, and the dollars historically spent supports awarding to four firms. Future
work on this contract will be quoted among all of the awarded firms.
The RFP was publicly advertised on 11/23/2010. Email notices were sent to 625 firms
with 173 vendors requesting full solicitation packages. Eight (8) responses were
received by the due date of 12/10/10. A Selection Committee was held on 01/21/11 and
after review and discussion, and by consensus of the members; the following four firms
were shortlisted:
