EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the award of Invitation for Qualifications (“IFQ”) # 20-7801 to the A2
Group, Inc. (“A2”), for Preconstruction Services for the Sun-N-Fun Waterpark Restoration and
Renovation Project, to be memorialized under a subsequently prepared Construction Manager at
Risk (“CMAR”) agreement, and authorize the County Manager, acting on behalf of the Board, to
enter into the CMAR Agreement for those Pre-construction Services with A2 in the amount of
$50,617, subject to formal ratification by the Board at its December 8, 2020 meeting.
OBJECTIVE: To retain a firm to provide CMAR services for the Sun-N-Fun Water Park Rehabilitation
and Restoration to obtain a high level of schedule and cost control for the project.
CONSIDERATION At the October 13, 2020, the Board approved the selection committee’s ranking
and authorized staff to negotiate a contract with the top-ranked firm, A2 Group, Inc. (“A2”), for CMAR
services for Sun-N-Fun Waterpark Restoration and Renovation (Agenda Item 16.D.5). A CMAR is a
procurement delivery method that entails a commitment by the Construction Manager to deliver a project
within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”), which is based on the construction documents and
specifications at the time the GMP is determined.
Staff expedited negotiations and reached an agreed fee with A2 to provide pre-construction services for this
project in the amount of $50,617. The preparation of a contract, which will be based upon similar recent
Board approved CMAR agreements is in process; but due to the late date in arriving at the agreed upon
negotiated fee, a fully vetted and agreed upon CMAR agreement could not be prepared prior to the
November agenda deadline. Subject to the Board’s approval of this pre-construction services
phase/CMAR, as Amendment to the CMAR would also be brought back to the Board to establish the GMP
for the subsequent construction phase of the project.
The immediate commence of the proposed preconstruction services is critical to re-opening Sun-N-Fun
facilities, which has been closed since March. The design is progressing rapidly and has reached the 60%
Design Development phase. Input from the Construction Manager is needed to guide and provide
specialized insight to the scope details, constructability and estimating for the project. Staff requests that
the Board delegate to the County Manager the authority to enter into a CMAR agreement for the
preconstruction services once finalized in order to expedite activity on this critical project. The finalized
CMAR agreement entered into between the A2 and the County Manager will be brought back to the Board
for ratification at the Board’s December 8, 2020 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds are available in the existing Fund 308 budget, project number 80421.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board approval.—SRT
RECOMMENDATION: For the Board to approve the award of Invitation for Qualifications (“IFQ”) #
20-7801 to the A2 Group, Inc. (“A2”), for Preconstruction Services for the Sun-N-Fun Waterpark
Restoration and Renovation Project, to be memorialized under a subsequently prepared Construction
Manager at Risk (“CMAR”) agreement, and authorize the County Manager, acting on behalf of the Board,
to enter into the CMAR agreement for those Pre-construction Services with A2 in the amount of $50,617,
subject to formal ratification by the Board at its December 8, 2020 meeting.

INTRODUCTION
As requested by the Facilities Management Division (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”), the Collier County Board of
County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) has issued this Construction Manager at Risk
(CMAR) Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ) Solicitation (hereinafter, “CMAR IFQ”) with the intent of obtaining proposals from
interested and qualified Construction Managers in accordance with the terms, conditions and specifications stated or attached. The
Proposer, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the Qualifications, Specifications, or Scope of Work stated.
BACKGROUND
Collier County seeks to restore and improve the Sun-N-Fun Water Park located at North Collier Regional Park. Many of the Park’s
amenities are showing their age. The facility was built in 2006 and certain components of the facility are in need of repair and
replacement services. The wading pool, the family pool, the slide tower and the main pump house are all in need of updating. The
entire facility will have to be brought up to the current Florida Building Code (FBC) and be made compliant with the American
Disability Act (ADA) for accessibility.
The facility was closed in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The County has made the decision to keep
the facility closed until Summer of 2021 to allow for the restoration work to be completed. The target grand re-opening date is
Memorial Day weekend 2021.
Collier County is seeking a construction management team with experience working on commercial pools and water parks to
restore and renovate the Sun-N-Fun Water Park facility located at North Collier Regional Park. Many of the Park’s amenities are
showing their age and need restoration.
1.The 4,610 SF wading pool and 6,735 SF family pool needs refinishing of all interior surfaces, tiling, markers, coping, grating and
fittings. In addition, all play feature elements in these pools need to be replaced. The pool gutters will need to be re-worked during
the restoration to bring back to a level condition. All rail goods will need replacement as well.
2.The existing slide tower stairway is made from steel and concrete construction and is showing advanced signs of oxidation which
is causing the steel to delaminate and creating a safety hazard. The stairwell will need to be demolished and re-built. Alternative
materials will be considered for the rebuild.
3.The main pump house needs updating. Poor air circulation/ventilation is causing corrosion to the metal piping and electrical
components and will need to be addressed. A canopy needs to be erected over the chemical tank and heater /cooler yard adjacent to
the building, and permanent power needs to be extended to the yard to bring into FBC compliance.
4.The restrooms, locker and changing areas, concrete pool decks and patio furnishings will need modifications to bring them up to
the current Florida Building Code for ADA accessibility.
Water Technology, Inc. will be providing the Aquatics Engineering and Design Services for the Sun-N-Fun Water Park Restoration
and Renovation project. Their anticipated start date is September of 2020.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK (CMAR) PROCESS
1.3 The selection process will involve a two-step proposal review to minimize Proposers’ costs in preparing initial
qualification proposals and expediting the review process. The Proposers will initially submit a qualifications proposal
which will be scored based on the criteria in the Scoring Criteria for Development of Shortlist, which will be the basis for
short-listing no less than three (3) firms.
The Proposers will need to meet the minimum requirements outlined herein in order for their proposal to be evaluated and
scored by the COUNTY. The COUNTY will then issue an invitation for oral presentations (Step 2) to at least the top three
short-listed firms and produce a final ranking for approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Upon approval
by the BCC, the County will enter into negotiations with the top ranked firm(s) to establish cost for the services needed.
With successful negotiations, a contract will be developed with the selected firm, based on the negotiated price and
technical components. The COUNTY plans to include an Owner’s Allowance in the contract for items such as changes in
scope and permit acquisition. The Owners’ Allowance will be used only at the County’s direction. The negotiated contract
will then be brought before the Board of County Commissioners for approval and award of contract at a Board of County
Commission Meeting.
Contact with County Staff including Commissioners and/or Selection Committee members: Upon advertisement of this
CMAR IFQ, Proposers responding to this CMAR IFQ and members of their team, are prohibited from contacting
Commissioners, members of County Staff or Selection Committee Members (including advisory members) regarding the
submittals for this project prior to presentation of a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (except as
may be necessary for contract negotiation purposes). All inquiries shall be directed to the Procurement Strategist or
Procurement Director or her designated representative.
1.4 The COUNTY will use a Selection Committee in the Construction Manager at Risk Invitation for Qualifications (CMAR
IFQ) selection process.
1.5 The intent of the Step 1 scoring of the qualifications-based proposal is for Proposer to indicate their interest, relevant
experience, financial capability, staffing and organizational structure.
1.6 Based upon a review of these qualification proposals, the short-listed firms will be requested to submit Step 2, to make oral
presentations.
1.7 The scores from the CMAR-IFQ - Step 1 used for short-listing for this Project will not be carried forward for the Step 2 of
this selection process.
1.8 The intent of the Step 2 oral presentations is to provide the firms with a venue where they can conduct discussions with the
Selection Committee to clarify questions and concerns before providing a final rank.
1.9 After review of the Step 2 oral presentations, the COUNTY will rank the Proposers based on the discussion and clarifying
questions on their approach and related criteria, and then negotiate in good faith an Agreement with the top ranked
Proposer.
1.10 If, in the sole judgment of the COUNTY, a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the top-ranked firm,
negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations shall begin with the firm ranked second. If a
contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the firm ranked second, negotiations with that firm will be formally
terminated and negotiations shall begin with the third ranked firm, and so on. The COUNTY reserves the right to
negotiate any element of the proposals in the best interest of the COUNTY.
SCORING CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHORTLIST:
For the development of a shortlist, this evaluation criteria will be utilized by the COUNTY’S Selection Committee to score each
proposal. Proposers are encouraged to keep their proposals concise and to include a minimum of marketing materials. Proposals
