OBJECTIVE: To receive Board direction as to how to proceed with the award of the referenced contract. CONSIDERATIONS: The project was submitted for advertisement of bids on July 15, 2008. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on July 31, 2008. The bid was split into two phases. Phase I is the construction of Santa Barbara Boulevard Extension from Rattlesnake Hammock Road to Davis Boulevard. Phase II is the construction of the LASIP Santa Barbara Canal. Bids were opened on August 18, 2008 with Astaldi Construction Corporation submitting the low bid ($18,947,979,12) in accordance with the procedures as established. Eight companies submitted bids, The bids that were accepted include: Mitchell & Stark ($19,896,854.92), Palm Beach Grading ($19,995,500,85), APAC ($21,423,519.10), Better Roads ($21,489,071.12), Quality Enterprises ($22,782,749.67), Phillips & Jordan ($23,279,743.01), and Posen ($25,557,985,30).The Engineer's estimate for Phase I was $29,355,189.76, and. the Engineer's estimate for Phase II was $1,858,713.40, for a total of $31,213,903.16. The low bid was 40% under the engineer's estimate. Subsequently, Mitchell & Stark, the second low, submitted a local preference affidavit and are within 5% of the low bidder. Several companies (5) submitted the local preference affidavit, including the apparent low bidder Astaldi Construction Corporation. In order to be eligible to receive local preference, a competing bidder must complete and submit a prescribed affidavit stating that they meet the definition of "local" under the Board's preference policy. That policy requires all three of the following: 1. The vendor must have held a Collier County occupational license for at least one year. 2. The vendor must have a local physical address that is not a post office box. 3. The vendor must provide a verifiable and measurable impact on the Collier County economy. Prior to tendering their bid offer, Astaldi submitted information to the Purchasing Department in support of their contention that they qualify for the local preference status. The Purchasing Department and the Office of the County Attorney reviewed the information and determined that Astaldi did not meet all of the referenced criteria as presently written in the policy. I~ AGEI{,D<' ,,-,'c\'::- " No r-\ I .....i\, . ()~ SEP : The bid offer from the apparent second lowest bidder, Mitchell & ~tark, 'Ii~~lt~!n , ...3 '" ~ 31 10% of the lowest bidder (5,01 % higher than the apparent lowest bidder): m,,,,, ,..C::""., proceeding further with the award of this contract, Staff is requesting that the Board take one of the following actions: (1) Affirm that Astaldi does not meet the definition of "local" as set out in the local preference policy and direct staff to offer the right to match option to the lowest "local" bidder; or (2) Waive the Local Vendor Preference Policy for this award. In either case, staff will bring this contract back for award on a subsequent meeting agenda. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in Gas Taxes and Impact Fees. Source of funds are gas taxes and impact fees. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The construction of Santa Barbara Boulevard Extension is identified on the AUIR (CIE No. 32) and is consistent with the Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and does not present any legal issues. The Local Vendor Preference Policy authorizes the Board to waive this policy. - CMG RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioner direct staff as to how to proceed with the award of bid 08-5106 - "Santa Barbara Boulevard Extension (Rattlesnake Hammock Road to Davis Boulevard)", Project No, 60091.

In speaking with staff from both the Contractor's Licensing Board and the Tax Colleclor's Office, both indicated that registration of a state contractor's license locally is not connected with or equivalent to obtaining an occupational license, According to both, the need for an occupational license is solely determined by whether the business operates (or plans to operate) an office in Collier County, According to them, you were probably told that you didn't need to pay the occupational tax license because you weren't considered to be operating a local office. Based on where the language of the current policy reads, I do not believe that Astaldi qualifies as a local vendor under the policy as currently written, I would encourage you to proceed with submitting your bid offer for the bid opening, the deadline for which is scheduled for Monday August 1EJ1h at 2:30 PM, If you would like to discuss further, please let me know, Thanks, Steve From: JACK MORGAN [mailto:jmorgan@a5taldiconstructlon,coml sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 4:59 PM To: carnelLs Subject: Fw: Local Business Steve, Have you had a chance to review the documents I provided? We will be submitting a Bid to Collier County on August 14, 2008 and would like to consider ou~elves a Local Business within our bid proposal. Regards, Jack Morgan 9/8/2008 Page 2 of2 Astaldi Construction Corporation "Working for You" 15360-2 Collier Blvd. Naples. Florida 34119 Cell # 239-633-7794 Field Office # 239-304-2763 Fax # 239-304-2453 --- Original Message - From: JACK MQBGAN To: g1JJJmLs Sent: Friday, August 08, 200811:46 AM SUbJeet: Local Business Steve, Please see attached, The normal procedure for a state contractor to work in Collier County (attached) is to fill out a registration form and submit a $10,00 fee. This was done by Astaldi on 9/26/2006 (receipt attached), During that period there was no benefit and were actually discouraged from obtaining an Oecupational License being told that it is only a tax license 80 the,. Is no need for It. We are due to renew our registration In September 2008. This time we will insist on an Occupational License ($10,00). Astaldi Construction Corp believes !hat this part (occupational license) of the Local Business requirements should be Grandfathered in to Companies that were actively work in Collier County during this new requirement being added, The first time Astaldi was officially made aware of the requirement was Solicitation # 08,5106 dated 7/15/2008, PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF ANY DECISIONS MADE BY COLLIER COUNTY, Regards, Jack Morgan Astaldi Construction Corporation "Working for You" 15360-2 Collier Blvd. Naples, Florida 34119 Cell # 239-633-7794 Field Office # 239,304,2763 Fax # 239-304-2453 9/812008 IS Astaldi Construction Corporation Memorandum Date: September 6, 2008 To: Board of County Commissioners (Collier County) Subject: Purchasing Policy of Collier County (adopted June 2008) From: Astaldi Construction Corporation The Purchasing Policy adopted June 2008 in "Section XI. Procedure to Provide Preference to Local Businesses in Countv Contracts" defines "Local Business" as follows: "Local business means tbe vendor has a valid occupational license issued by Collier County at least one year prior to Bid or proposal submission to do business within Collier County tbat autborizes the business to provide tbe commodities or service to be purchased, and a physical business address located witbin tbe limits of Collier County from which the vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for tbe purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to tbe foregoing, a vender shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to tbe economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not limited to, tbe retention and expansion of employment opportunities, tbe support and increase to tbe County's tax base, residency of employees and principals oftbe business within Collier County. Vendors shall affmn in writing tbeir compliance with tbe foregoing at tbe time of submitting tbeir bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under tbis section." Astaldi Construction Corporation, and possibly otber vendors, are in a position such that while having worked in Collier County, and having met all oftbe criteria outlined above, Astaldi Construction was not required to obtain an occupational license, and tberefore may not qualify as a local business. The reason tbat Astaldi Construction does not have an occupational license is tbat when Astaldi Construction's representatives went to Collier County Licensing Department at the outset oftbe current construction project that Astaldi is building, they were advised by a County employee that since Astaldi Construction was a State Certified General Contractor, no occupational license was required. The new Purchasing Policy adopted in June of 2008 did not address or provide for a remedy for tbis situation. Witb respect to Astaldi Construction's qualifications as a local business in Collier County, please note tbe following: . Astaldi has been a registered vendor witb Collier County since 2002 . Astaldi has had a physical address within the County limits since January 2007 8220 State Road 84 - Suite 300, Davie, Florida 33324 Telephone: (954) 423-8766 . Fax: (954) 423-2597 . Astaldi has contributed to the economic development and wellbeing of Collier County by participation with Habitat for Humanity constructing home within the Liberty Landing Development . Astaldi has supported Collier County Parks and Recreation by being Corporate Sponsor for Snowfest and providing Maintenance of Traffic to assist in parking at the Country Jam event, in addition we provide lighting for the pony rides and recreational sand box with toys for the children at our Chili Cook-off booth, . Astaldi has retained and expanded employment opportunities for the commuuity; currently we employ 65 Collier County residents as well as an additional II employees from near by Lee County. This does not include the use of subcontractors that also employ residents of Collier County. The use and payment of these subcontractors also contributes to the local economy of Collier County. . Astaldi has been paying Tangible Personal Property Taxes . Astaldi in the last 2 years has widened and improved roadways for the County under 2 separate contracts with a total value of approximately 80 million dollars. . Astaldi has obtained and currently holds an Occupational License in Collier County As you can see Astaldi has been and continues to be a local business. Unfortunately with the wording that was placed in the Purchasing Policy adopted in June of 2008 Astaldi, and possibly other entities, may not been considered "local businesses" due to an Occupational License that Astaldi was told was not required. The newly adopted policy does not address a remedy for venders in this position, as it clearly appears to be a form versus substance matter. Astaldi Construction would request the Board grant Astaldi Local Business Status, as clearly we have been and continued to be part of community of Collier County. 8220 State Road 84 - Suite 300, Davie, Florida 33324 Telephone: (954) 423-8766 .
