Ms. Prusinski then continued with the following:

The purpose of this Pre-Submittal Conference is to provide an open forum for the BMPO to

RFQ 27-04 General Planning Consultant Services

Attachment A

Submittals that do not include the required financial information may be deemed non-

responsive by the Evaluation and Selection Committee.

The insurance requirements are outlined in Attachment “B” BMPO Agreement, in Section 8

included in the RFQ. While certificates of insurance are not required to be included in RFQ

Submittals, please review and familiarize yourself with the requirements.

At this point the conference was turned over to Darci Mayer to go over the Scope of

Services and Task Work Orders.

Ms. Mayer proceeded to provide an overview of Scope of Services:

The GPC contract is Task Work Order based, where each of the services are to be negotiated

on an as needed basis for individual projects. Ms. Mayer stated that she is Project Manager

for the overall contract. The firms that are awarded this contract will be working with a variety

of BMPO staff who will act as the Task Work Order managers for the individual projects.

The Task Work Orders will be based on the BMPO’s Unified Planning Work Program or

UPWP. The UPWP is the MPO’s 2-year budget, it is posted on the BMPO website,

browardmpo.org, under “What We Do”, click on Core Products, and on the left-hand side of

that page, one will see UPWP. The current version of the UPWP is located on this page with

any amendments that have been approved by clicking on the + under current UPWP

Documents.

In the RFQ’s scope of services Section 4.0 on page 31, there are tasks listed under the

following categories: MPO Administration, Data Collection & Analysis, Regional Planning,

Community Planning, Transportation Improvement Plan, Public Participation, and Local

Activities. Please note Task 6.0 in the UPWP Regional Transfers is not included in this scope.

The UPWP does not have a Task 8.0. Firms that provide proposals for this RFQ should include

a team of firms that have the ability to effectively produce work in the various tasks identified

under these categories.

Ms. Mayer pointed out a few items regarding Task Work Orders. If selected for a Task Work

Order, the firm is expected to attend the Board meeting for their Task Work Order and to be

prepared to answer any questions the Board may have. The terms are typically no longer

than 24 months. Upon closeout, the MPO requires firms to provide proof of payment to the

sub-consultants that were billed, and to submit all files to the MPO in their native format for

future use. Ms. Mayer stated she looked forward to receiving strong, collaborative

proposals.

The conference was turned back over to Ms. Prusinski.

In conclusion, Ms. Prusinski thanked everyone in attendance and looked forward to receiving

Submittals in response to RFQ No. 27-04 General Planning Consulting Services.

Ms. Prusinski ended the conference at 11:11 am.
