INTRODUCTION
As requested by the County Manager’s Office (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”), the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) has issued this Request for Professional Services
(hereinafter, “RPS”) with the intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified Consultants in accordance with the terms,
conditions and specifications stated or attached. The Consultant, at a minimum, must ac hieve the requirements of the
Specifications or Scope of Work stated.
On the June 25, 2019 Board meeting, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (hereinafter, the “Board”) approved the
purchase of the Golden Gate Golf Course. This property is less than a mile from the I -75 and Collier Boulevard interchange and is
currently developed as an 18-hole golf course. Surrounding much of the property is residential development with a residential
neighborhood and water treatment facility in the interior of the property. The Board directed staff to develop options and layouts
for the future use of the property in conjunction with public input and to bring back the options for the Board’s review.
BACKGROUND
The Board, in compliance with Florida Statute 287.055, Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act, is seeking proposals from
qualified and experienced firms to provide Consultant services to develop a plan to redevelop the Golden Gate Golf Course.
The County is seeking a firm that can provide services in the following disciplines: planning, zoning, engineering, construction
oversight/estimating, site planning, architectural services. These services include but are not limited to; a site layout that identifies
space needs and availability, identifying form and fit with surrounding community, construction estimating, conceptual
architectural services, site planning, site development, roadway design, utility (water/wastewater) engineering, county zoning and
rezoning, and public involvement. Additionally, the County would also expect the firm to have experience in community space
planning that may include a public park, municipal golf course, and campus type development. There has also been significant
discussion that a portion of the property would be developed as a Veterans Nursing home, another portion may be developed with
workforce housing, and yet another portion may be developed with a full or partial golf course or other public uses. This project
will be highly scrutinized, and the selected firm should be prepared to develop and deliver a strong public involvement plan.
The County has plans that are currently at 60% to widen the existing four -lane segment of Collier Boulevard from Green Boulevard
to the Golden Gate Main Canal at the property’s southern boundary. The purchase of the Golden Gate Golf Course provides a
means to realign the roadway and avoid costly relocation of the South Florida Water Management District weir structure. This
could result in a westward shift of the roadway by utilizing ± 2.5 acres of the existing Golf Course. The Golf Course has an existing
municipal water distribution facility that may or may not need to be relocated. Additionally, the Golf Course parcel was acquired
with exceptions and temporary easements such as the parking and tennis area easement and exception for the existing pool in the
parcel owned by the parent tract, Golden Gate Inn. The selected firm will need to be able to work with the parent tract owner to
rezone his property and develop plans and zoning changes that would be mutually beneficial to the County and the owner of the
parent tract. There may be a need to realign the property boundaries to satisfy the outcome of the zoning and meet the needs of
both parties.
During the due diligence period ahead of the County’s closing on the property the County completed a Phase I and Phase II
Environmental Site. These reports are included in the attachments to this Scope as backup. Assessments conducted on the
property. The Phase II Environmental Site Assessment indicated arsenic and lead in the maintenance area. Further testing of
groundwater was setup at three separate locations. Investigation of FDEP records revealed the presence of two underground fuel
tanks that were recommended to be excavated and removed.

Packet Pg. 346 Attachment: 19-7650 Solicitation (10345 : Golden Gate Golf Course Redevelopment Planning and Engineering)
In addition to the Environmental studies, the County also had an ALTA survey and title research completed, and no major
encroachments or title exceptions were found.
TERM OF CONTRACT
County reserves the right to modify this scope during negotiations for budgetary reasons.
The contract term, if an award is made, will commence on the date of the Notice to Proceed and end upon acceptance and approval
of the final payment.
Prices shall remain firm for the initial term of the awarded contract.
Surcharges will not be accepted in conjunction with this award, and such charges should be incorporated into the pricing structure.
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
The redevelopment of the Golden Gate Golf Course will be done in multiple phases. The first of these phases will consists of
significant public involvement, developing conceptual site designs, layouts, and cost estimates. These concepts will be presented to
the Board on an ongoing basis to receive direction and guidance. Upon approval of the final concept, the firm will then move
forward to rezone the Golf Course and adjacent property appropriately. Concurrent with the rezone process, the firm will take the
concept plans and develop detailed site plans for the unified development of the property that can be used to secure appro priate
permits to develop the property in whole or in part by parcels. After the rezoning is completed and site plans are approved, the
County may at its option move into the horizontal and vertical construction phase. This phase may or may not include thi rd party
partners that can take advantage of this contract. It is anticipated that the contract may be amended to add preliminary costing,
conceptual architectural plans, and construction oversight services. Please consider the following outline as a template for the
deliverables being requested:
1. Project kick-off with internal stakeholders from each participating County division and development of a project charter
