Resolution: A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate hourly rates and to
execute a service agreement as provided under the Florida Statute 287.055
(Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act) "CCNA ', for professional
services for the South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan (SMITP).
Background: On April 12, 2013, the City received 6 solicitations in response for the request for
qualifications RFQ #PW- S2013 -10 for South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan. A
selection committee met to review and rank the firms in accordance with Florida Statute
287.055 (CCNA).
The intent of the CCNA is -to select professional services based on the qualifications of the
firm, without considering the price of those services until after the firms have been ranked.
Ranking is based on qualifications and negotiations have begun with the top ranked firm.
Professional design services are defined under this law to include engineering, surveying &
mapping, landscape architecture, and architecture. Numerous studies have shown that
selection based on qualifications provides the owner with optimum services, whereas selection
based on low price only assures the owner of the least expensive initial design or study cost,
not necessarily the best or most cost - effective over the life of the project. Public agencies that
use qualifications based selection under the CCNA to procure engineering services are
better able to control construction costs and achieve a consistently high degree of project
satisfaction than those using other procurement methods. Therefore, the selection of firms
wile be based._on_ qualifications. and ,;once-firms--are-selected _'the.n cam ,etitiveme otiations--;
for fees will occur.
Further, the intent of the CCNA legislation has always been to preclude "price consideration"
from entering into the selection process. The Florida Legislature clarified the statute in 1988 to
state that an "agency may request, accept, and consider proposals for the compensation to be
paid under the contract only during the competitive negotiation.'
The execution of these Professional General Service agreements does not commit the City
to any maximum amount of fees nor guarantees any work. Upon selection of the firms, the
City will negotiate hourly rates that are acceptable to the City and within industry standards.
Upon the City and firm negotiating a cost to perform the required scope for the South Miami
Intermodal Transportation Plan, a resolution will be brought before the City Commission for
approval the service agreement.
