We have a quorum present with the following evaluation committee members. Committee members, please say present after your names are called. Chris Deal, Park Superintendent, Broward County Parks and Recreational Division. Present. Nadia Hinkerson, Assistant Director, Office of Economic and Small Business Development. Present. Thank you. Candace Jensen, Maintenance Contract Manager, Facility Management Division, Public Works Department. Present. Thank you. It is the evaluation committee's responsibility to review the vendor submittals to ensure solicitation requirements are met and to evaluate the submittals to make a recommendation to award a contract. Each evaluation committee member was appointed by the county administrator to serve on this committee based on their experience. Evaluation committee members are responsible for following the county's established committee process, I mean procedures, to select vendors which can provide the services that are in the best interest of the county. At the discretion of the board, the evaluation committee members may be requested to substantiate their recommendation and discuss the submittals of their review, the review of their submittals. The Kona silence has been in effect since the solicitation's advertisement. Vendors are prohibited from discussing the solicitation with the commissioner's office, county staff, or a member of the evaluation committee. The Kona silence terminates when the awarding authority takes action, which ends the solicitation. During the Kona silence, inquiries regarding the solicitation should be directed to the project manager or the director of purchasing and or his designee. Also, vendors may communicate with the designated representatives from the Office of Economic and Small Business Development at any time regarding the solicitation's small business enterprise or county business enterprise participation. The Summary of Vendor Rights regarding the Borough County competitive solicitation was issued in the solicitation. The initial evaluation committee meeting minutes have been distributed to the evaluation committee members. Evaluation committee members, is there any discussion regarding the minutes? Yes. Candace Jensen. Go ahead. Just in the EC member section, I would like to note a change in my department. It should be, instead of public works department, it should be public works and environmental services department. Yes. Noted. We'll change it. Thank you. Is there any other discussion regarding the minutes? May I have a motion with regards to a motion to approve the minutes as amended from the initial evaluation committee meeting? Nadia Hankerson, I would like to make a motion to approve the minutes from the initial evaluation committee held on January 9th. Thank you. May I have a second? Yes. Candace Jensen, I will second that motion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. As stated previously at the initial evaluation committee, the solicitation required vendors to state whether they accept our county standard terms and condition, or if they do not accept them, to identify the agreement provision and vendors' proposed changes. One vendor, Casely Tennis Foundation, Inc., took exception to the county standard terms and condition. The specific exceptions taken by Casely are outlined in the exceptions matrix that has been distributed to evaluation committee members for their review. At this time, I'll turn the meeting over to the county attorney's office to discuss the exceptions taken by Casely and answer any questions you may have. Amanda? Yes. Hi, everyone. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. Your name for the record. Okay, great. Yes, my name is Amanda Tolbert, assistant county attorney, and if anyone on the EC doesn't know me, I work with parks, and I'll be negotiating this contract with parks with the awarded vendor. Casely Tennis took one exception to the scope of services provision that requires the operator to assume full responsibility for the maintenance and resurfacing of the tennis courts during the advertised term. This exception was reviewed and not accepted by the county because those requirements are material terms of the solicitation and formed the basis on which all vendors submitted their bids, including their minimum annual guarantee and percentage fees. And so what that means is that Casely does not withdraw that exception, and they are the highest ranked vendor, and we enter negotiations, and they're unwilling to accept those maintenance responsibilities based on the term and a minimum annual guarantee and percentage fee provided in their solicitation response, then that negotiation will reach an impasse, and we would just move on to the second ranked vendor. If anyone has any questions about the exception or if we would want us to ask Casely about it at this time, this would be the opportunity to do so. Hearing none, move on. Thank you, Amanda. The next order of business is vendor presentation in accordance with section 286.0113 of the Florida Statute. Presentation and question and answer are closed to the public. Only the committee members, county staff, and the presenting vendors and their team will be in the closed portion of this meeting. Other vendors, their team, and members of the public will be excused from the meeting to permit the start and the closed presentation session. Subconsultants partnering with multiple prime vendors are only allowed to participate in one vendor's closed presentation session. As this meeting progresses, the purchasing division will provide email updates to vendors, ensuring that each upcoming presenter is informed of when to join for their presentation. Once our presentation and question and answer session have concluded, vendors and members of the public will be invited to return to the public portion of the meeting during which the evaluation committee will score and rank the vendors. Members of the public may provide an email address in the chat to be notified when to return to the public portion of this meeting. Vendors were asked to provide an electronic copy of their presentation to the purchasing division prior to this meeting. The presentations received have been distributed to the evaluation committee members. Presentation topics, length, and order were identified during the initial evaluation committee meeting and distributed to the presenting vendors. Each vendor has 10 minutes for presentation, followed by an unlimited question and answer session, and five minutes for their setup. The timekeeper will be the purchasing agent, Desirene LaScott. Vendors will be presenting in the following order. Temporal USA Corp, first presenter. Second presenter, Casely Tennis Foundation, Inc. Third presenter, FM Tennis LLC.

All other presenting vendors, your accompanying team, and members of the public are requested to leave the virtual meeting room. As a reminder, please continue to monitor your emails for when to rejoin the public portion of this meeting. This meeting is now closed. Temporal USA Corp. Good afternoon again. You guys are on mute. Cannot hear either of you. Hello. Can you hear me now? There you go. Good afternoon again. Hi. How are you? Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I'm going to wait for Uri. Uri, can you hear me? Are you seeing me? Yes? Okay. Just making sure everybody can hear us, both of us. Yes, we can. Is it going to be only you both? Okay, great. We have a number that's in the lobby that's trying to join. No, it's only the two of us. Only the two of us. Alrighty. Thank you for that. Of course. The Temporal USA Corp. Attendees can be viewed in the team's participant panel. Displayed on the screen is a list of county staff. Please review to ensure only your team and members of the county staff are in attendance. And while you're reviewing the list, please advise which member of your team should be designated as the presenter. It's reviewed. And I'm going to be the one speaking, the presenter. Okay. Thank you. You should have that ability momentarily. I think it's the second gentleman. You can go ahead and start. Share. You have five minutes for setup. Share. Can you see the presentation here? Hello? Can you see the presentation on this window? It's a little fuzzy on our end. Yeah. I'm trying to show you the presentation. Apologies. It's my second time using this. It's the Teams. I'm trying to share you the PDF. Uri, do you have the access to share on the screen while I speak? Yes. You should. Okay. Apologies. It's like my second time using the Team meetings like this. I'm trying to learn here. So what we're presenting will be the last proposal that we sent you. And once I have it so you can see it, I'll begin speaking. Do you guys see? Can you see the proposal now? Can you share that? What they need is the proposal, the last proposal we sent them so they can see it on the screen. Yeah. As a clarification, it's your presentation that we would want to see, not your proposal. So the proposal was submitted through B-Pro. Okay. So it will be the presentation of Tennis Master. Yeah. So where it says share, you should be able to share it. Five minutes for setup is coming to an end. Go ahead and try to reshare what you had before. We'll try to see if we can see. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Because what I have is... Whatever you sent to Desirene as your presentation, if you can share that on your screen. Yeah. So, Uri, I think if you open the document, yes? You open the document and you press share, it will give you the option of sharing it with, you know, the panel. So the presentation of Tempro. And then it will give you the option of sharing it. So where it says leave, right? It says share to. You click there. Share. Because on my end, I don't have that. Excuse me, sir. I don't know why. Do you want us to share it for you on our side? That will be amazing. And I apologize again because we're trying to figure this app out and there's no way for us to share. I press share, but it's not sharing anything, to be honest. We'll share what you sent to her. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Please confirm this is what you want us to share? This is the proposal, Uri? Yes. This is the presentation that you sent to Desiree, correct? Yes, correct. Okay. All righty. You will have 10 minutes for your presentation. You would have to now tell us when to scroll, okay? Because we don't know. Thank you so much. We don't know what to do. You're the one operating. I'm going to start your 10-minute timer. You may begin. Okay. Thank you. Well, first of all, thank you so much for having us in the meeting. Apologies for the delays at the beginning. So we'll go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Kennedy Cancelato. I'm a tennis coach as well as Uri. Uri is in the meeting. And you can scroll down. Thank you. Okay, so we wanted to start the meeting with one of the things that it's always in the question, which is the maintenance, okay? So we have incorporated in Tempro the company that takes care of the maintenance of the tennis courts. If it's hard courts, if it's clay courts, they basically are a part of the company that takes care of all the daily maintenance, anything that the club needs, okay? So we all know how hard it is to do maintenance to clay courts. And we actually have a great team that, you know, keeps everything on point, especially with the irrigation system, okay? Me personally, I used to be the one doing it. Uri, too. So we spent a couple of years doing it ourselves. But the team that we have now, it's a team of about five people that they do the lines, they do the, like I said before, the irrigation system. So I don't think that, you know, the Brian Piccolo, in this case, the county will be in any other way worried about the quality of the tennis courts, since this is basically the first thing that people see when they come into the park. I want them to know that any time they come, they see that the courts are on point. Especially, I'm going to share something a little personal. I knew Eliseo. Eliseo was working with the county for a long time. And he had the courts on point. So that's our goal, too, to have the facility in a way that it's always presentable to the public, okay? Thank you. You can scroll down, too, again. Thank you. Okay, so in our bid table, we offer the quantity of $3,300 monthly, because we see that with the potential of the facility of being, well, it's one of the best facilities in the county. This is what we think it represents that we have to give, you know, as a part of the payment to the county yearly, that's roughly times 12, around $38,000. I don't have the document with me, but $3,300 multiplied by 12. And then on year three and four, it will be $3,400. That's our proposal that we put on the big table. Also, stating on the contract for year one, two, three, and four, there's also – thank you for scrolling down. There's also the development of the facility in terms of facilitating – so the members and the people that play, they see improvements in the facility. For example, shaded areas, so when it's very hot, will provide this. Also, maintenance of nets, posts, windscreens, scorekeepers – very important when people are, you know, especially people when they rent the facility for a core for two or three hours, they want to see these improvements. Also, like lining improvements, we all know that as well as the irrigation system and maintenance of the tennis courts, lining, it's a great factor that we need to take care of. So that's also something that we're going to be helping the facility with. And aside from the, you know, the infrastructure of the place, we also are looking at our clientele when they come. They see that they're training equipment at some point, that the ball machines – we offer ball machines too. We offer renting for ball machines so people that want to just play, they can rent the service. So it's going to be an all-around service where they can have everything. You know, they can come and play. They can come and rent a court. They can come and also, you know, take tennis lessons. But that will be something that progressively is going to increase with the years, you know. Now you can scroll down. Thank you. The core reservation system, it's going to be managed by PlayByPoint. Okay, so we're very close to the owner of PlayByPoint, Andres. He's the one that basically got me into PlayByPoint since the company grew. I want to talk to you a little bit about PlayByPoint. So it's a system that, just like core reserve, it's kind of the same. Okay? So we can use both. I see that we put core reserve here, but we have both. Okay? So core reserve and PlayByPoint work in a way that the client will have an app and they can reserve the court. They see the availability. It's very organized in terms of when they come. They already see that the space and availability that they have in the facility. It's not something that when people are going to come, they're going to be fighting for spaces. As a matter of fact, they can rest assured that they're always going to have a space. And we're going to be actively having someone to be talking to the potential members and people that want to run the courts. Okay? Yeah, like you see here stated, it's a club-style tennis center. Okay? Obviously, people can come. It's a public place to come. But we want them to feel that special. So one thing to do is to offer spaces and organize, you know, slots so they can see and come whenever it's open. You can scroll down now. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. You can go up a little bit, just a tiny bit. Anna, we're still on core reserve. You can go back. You can go down a little. You can go down a little. There we go. And adult leagues, resident programs, and community engagement. Together with a core reserve or play by point, there's the other leagues integrated into this app where, obviously, when people start to come, they want to form a community. Okay? And that's where I come. This is what I do in this side of the company. I focus on the community part and community growth. And tennis is one of those sports that really, really helps building community. Yes? So, especially with adults, adult leagues, we want to have this as a part of Brian Piccolo. Ultimately, we're here for the community. We're here to help and provide the services to the community. And that's our main goal. Okay? Other than just give tennis lessons and run like a tennis academy, our main goal is the community. Okay? So, that's why core reserve or play by point are going to be a great tool for them to have and communicate to us. And also to other people if they want to play and have a good time. You can scroll down now. Thank you. Thank you. You can scroll down. Thank you. We can go to the other. Here we go. Facility maintenance approach. So, I think I touched this point at the beginning. But, basically, daily inspections in the court, this is something that has to be daily. Maintenance is daily, just like cleaning the house or doing the dishes. This is something that we have to do daily to make sure we offer excellence in our services. So, again, daily inspection of the courts, lining, fencing, equipment, restrooms, player areas where actually people go and play. Me, myself, I've been in the facility quite a while, especially when Eliseo was there taking care of the facility because I used to coach here. I used to coach Brian Piccolo a long time ago. And I saw that he, even the player areas and everything, was super clean. There was no dirt. There was no residues of the clay courts. And this really, you know, it's something that we want to keep doing. You can scroll down. And thank you for the two minutes remaining. I want to make sure I touch all the points. Capital improvements. Okay. Here's a special facility for its improvement. Yeah. So, basically, I think I touched this point, too. I believe I touched the point where I said that the capital improvement strategy will be something where we're going to do progressively. But also, it's something that it ties with the fact that we have to do all the inspections for maintenance and, you know, making sure that everything is daily. With this, we're going to be sure that yearly, we're going to be seeing improvements, not only on the quality and maintenance of the tennis course, but also on the part where we make some, you know, the revenue. Especially for, you know, giving back to the county, the promised amount of the 3,300 and progressively at the year three or four, the 3,400. You can go down now. So, that gives me time to touch everything. Let's see. Comparison, existing conditions based on proposed improvements. So, one of the big comparisons will be that I don't, we really believe our service and maintenance is one of the best. Everything that we do, we do with excellence and it shows in our clients, you know, the people that actually are clients of ours. We treat it as members. We call them members. Oh, I'm sorry. That is the end of your 10 minutes. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. Thank you. Committee members, project manager, are there any questions for Tempro USA? State your name and then your questions. Hi, Nadia Hankerson. When you said you worked there, you did you, what did you do? Were you a tennis instructor? What did you do? Oh, well, basically, Eliseo gave me like two lessons and then I did it. I was 18 years old at that moment. It was a very long time ago. Okay. Okay. Also, when you talk about capital improvements, have you been there recently to see the facility, like what it looks like now? I know you've been there a while. I went. I went because I believe Caselli did a UTR and I went just to check because I like, you know, it's a tennis word and I used to live very close. I used to live in Taft Street and University. So it's pretty close to, it was pretty close to my parents' house. And I went and I saw the, it was basically the same, you know, as of, you know, as of when I used to go when I was like 19 years old, 10 years ago, basically. Okay. So what, so since you've seen it recently, is there anything specifically you saw that you would recommend as a capital improvement or you would immediately change that's there now? So one of the first things we see is that, I'll be completely honest with you. When I saw the facility, it was something that it was, it was kind of like people would just go, but there was no direction in terms of, I didn't feel with someone there. I don't, I don't know if, if I'm making any sense. Because when you go to a place, you want to feel like there's somebody taking care of you. So one of the things that I will do is to have the presence and, and, you know, the, the feeling of having someone to rely on, especially with, with the people that take care of you. So when you go to the office, first thing I will do is to, to have somebody that's taking care of, you know, um, greeting the, the, the people, uh, that come or, or managing the app, you know, the app of, of, of scheduling the classes. Also, um, the courts, to be honest, um, I saw some, you know, residues of, of clay courts, sometimes every, everywhere. Like when they, you know, when they, they, they, they put, um, they save the equipment to, to do the, excuse me, to do the, the courts. I think there could be a better, better organization way and a more cleaning, uh, it could be a little more, a little bit better. Okay. So I never want to speak bad to, to other people, but I, I'm sure that we can, we can do a better job in that sense. I didn't see any tennis lessons because when I won, it was a tournament. But, um, but again, you know, I didn't feel like there was no one, there was just, you know, people playing, but there was nobody taking care of the, the facility, checking anything. You know, it was just that, and I'm sorry, it was just one time I went and that's what I saw. Okay. And last question, how would you attract and mark, market to new players? Good question. Um, basically we have two systems of generating leads. One of the things that I wanted to do together with Uri, it was to start with, obviously continue with what we do. What we do is that we use our, it's an integrated system where we use, it's called Lead Master. We created the system where we use a lot of the Facebook, uh, Facebook ads. We use, um, Google ads. We use, uh, all this system is, it's, it's something that we've been creating for the past, you know, years that we, we used it. So it's something that nobody can copy. It's something that we've been creating, uh, taking care of the demographics of the place. So to answer your question, uh, we always get plenty of, of new, uh, we call it leads. Yeah. Also, we have to take into account that not all, not all the people that come to Brian Piccolo, they want to just take tennis lessons. Uh, so many of the people that contact us too, is to, you know, to play, uh, they want, they already play, so they want to join a league. So we also have the help of, um, uh, the, the tennis league that we, that we do, that we can incorporate it into many sections. So that's another way that we get people coming. So in a way or another, there are clients of the academy or, you know, or there will be also, uh, community people just coming and playing using play by point or core reserve. Okay. Thank you. That's all my questions. Thank you. Thank you so much for your questions. Any other committee members with questions? Hearing none. Project manager, state your name for the record. Any questions? Yes. Project manager, Vish Nandel. So, uh, my question is what experience do you have working with a government entity or organization? Thank you for your question, sir. So we, uh, we've been working with the city of Pembroke Pines, uh, I will say like nine years now. And, um, we, one of the main things, yes, working with government agencies and cities and everything is the fact that it's the city, it's the government. You know, this is for the community. Yes. So we are very clear where we are. We're very clear what we are. I'm very clear of what the community or the county or in this case, you, you, you want. Okay. So, um, that was a very broad answer to your question. But at the same time, it's something that I want to, I want to, I want you to know that we're not just a tennis academy. Okay. Uh, there is very, uh, people miss concessions, just tennis academies focusing on their own clients. And what about the public? You know, we work with the public, we work with community. And that's something that for me personally, it's something that it keeps me working. You know, I work for the community. Um, where I am right now, it's Rose Price Park, which is in Pembroke Pines. This is a public park. And I intend to continue, you know, doing the career job that we're doing here and, and representing, you know, County of Broward, um, you know, uh, and following whatever, um, things that you need. Does your organization currently have any current contract or agreements in place, multi-year? Yes. Yes. Um, describe your organization's ability, ability with contract compliance, meaning how does your organization follow contractual to contract related items, um, meaning submitted timely payments, project deliverables, and required reports? Okay. So, the city of Pembroke Pines, we work as private contractors. Um, basically what we do is that we report the clients that we have per month, uh, showing them, you know, uh, it has to be very organized in a way that when we show them the, the manual kits, uh, the insurance, um, they need to show waiver liabilities. So, all these things we haven't, not necessarily we make our, our clients in this case, um, report this all the time, every month. But it's something that once they, they, they, they do, we, we consistently do it with the city. So, once they, they, for example, everything is tied to the membership, everything is tied to the membership. Membership is tied to the insurance. So, long story short, um, we need to send them a report of the people that, that we're taking care of every month. And with that, we, I, you know, us, we need to, to make sure that everything is in order. So, uh, the insurance in our part, it's, it's in order. The, the waivers and everything that, that, that the member, uh, needs to be able to play in the tennis court, it's in order. Um, we don't really have any other, uh, terms that we need to report to the city of Pembroke Pines. But I understand that if, if there's anything else that the county of Broward would or should or want to do and, and to tell us what to do, we're more than willing to do it too. So. Thank you. If awarded, can you discuss any anticipated challenges and how you, how your organization intends to address those? Yes. So, um, the challenge at the beginning, I don't, I don't really see challenge at the beginning to, to be honest. In fact, I, I, when we, when we send the bid table and, and you can see, you know, the monthly, um, agreement of, of the payment that we, that we sent. It's, it's something that we were actually, you know, sure that the facility it's, it's able to get monthly. So why am I bringing this up? Because for us, it's a matter of when we can start, you know, as soon as we can start the, our, our systems, our, our, our personnel maintenance and everybody's ready to go. So there's no, there would no, there would not be a, a, a situation where I will go and tell you, you know, I have to get, you know, three weeks to start or four weeks to start. As a matter of fact, we're, we're, we're very, you know, uh, we're looking forward to, to, you know, to starting this, in this entity. Thank you. Project manager has no more questions. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Circling back to the EC members. Any other questions? Hearing none. Tempro, thank you, um, for your time and presentation today. Please continue to monitor the emails for when to rejoin the public portion of the meeting. Okay. Thank you so much for your time. Okay. You're welcome. The first presenter, Tempro USA Corp, has now completed their presentation and answered all questions. Um, purchasing staff, please invite the second presenter, Casely Tennis Foundation, Inc., to join the closed portion of the meeting for their presentation. Thank you. Thank you.

We'll go to the third, and then once they respond, then we'll have them present. The third presenter, FM Tennis LLC, will have Purchase and invite them to do their presentation. And like I said, once Casely responds, then we'll put them back in rotation. Good afternoon, Carlos. You're on mute. We can't hear you, Carlos. Still, you're on mute.

Please test to see if you can share your screen. I'm in the lobby to admit Lisa to abuse. I'm not sure what that is. That's okay. We'll take care of it. I just want you to see if you can share your screen if you have something to share for your presentation. No, no. I don't have anything to share. Only what, you know, the proposal I initially sent and the presentation I forwarded to you as well. Do you want to share that presentation or no? No, it's not. I believe the email said you would forward it to the. The EC. Yes, they have it. But, okay. Alrighty. EC members, you have it to follow along or do you want us to share? Or if you want, I could share it. It's okay. It's not a problem. I believe they have it. Confirmation that you all have it? They have it. So I'm going to start your 10-minute timer, okay? Okay.

Caselli Tennis Foundation, with me, Carlos Caselli as its president, has more than three years of experience across all areas of tennis facility management and operations and currently successfully manage the Bram Piccolo Tennis Center. I was asked to provide additional details regarding our firm's proposed maintenance approach to the clay quartz and hydro quartz irrigation system. If awarded, we will continue to maintain the clay quartz according to the manufacturer recommendations that include daily brushing, grooming, weekly as needed rolling, continuous checks for algae and blockages, seasonal adjustments to automated watering, and water resurfacing, and major resurfacing every five to seven years to restore proper slope and depth, all aim at managing moisture and preventing hardness and ensuring playability. I was also asked to provide the estimated time to implement proposed capital improvements. If awarded, we are ready to implement the proposed capital improvements on day one, which will be completed from four to six months from the time we receive the go-ahead. So the actual implementation timeline will depend largely on county processes, the time the county processes to approve the capital improvement. I was asked to explain the quartz reservation system that will be used under this contract. If awarded, and with the approval of the county, the plan is to continue using the quartz reservation system, which is one of the top-rated tennis facility management platforms, which we have been using for the five-plus years we have been managing the brand Piccolo Tennis Center. This platform simplifies operations by handling court reservations, membership management lessons, program scheduling, and payments through a branded mobile app, streamlining booking of courts, communication and revenue, and improving player experience. It centralizes everything from online booking and automated waitlists to league management, through scheduling and financial tracking, reducing admin work and boosting engagement. If awarded, Rowett County will have full access to the platform. I was asked to elaborate on my organization's approach to facility maintenance, including both routine maintenance and non-routine maintenance. If awarded, we will continue to have a full-time maintenance manager on staff, as well as maintenance assistance. Our firm's approach to facility maintenance is to not only address daily maintenance issues that arise, but to implement a preventive maintenance schedule for all areas based on industry standards and manufacturer's recommendations. Utilizing certified contractors that specialize in specific maintenance areas when we need to. I was asked to elaborate on my firm's proposed approach to improve the facility through capital improvement. If awarded, the proposed capital improvement will total just over a million dollars, and will include a mobile office trailer to provide suitable indoor space for our summer camps for kids at an approximate cost of $350,000. Addition of six lighted pickleball courts with an approximate cost of $240,000, and addition of six lighted tennis hard courts, as the facility only has clay courts, with an approximate cost of $480,000. Images and locations for these proposed capital improvements have been included in Exhibit A and B. I was asked to make comparison as to what is in existence now and how these capital improvements will enhance what is already at the facility. Indoor area at the Bramphic Low Tennis Center is currently very small, which limits the scope of activities that can be planned at the center. So by adding the mobile office trailer, the goal is to enhance the experience of patrons and make the center more attractive by offering a variety of social activities that are customary at tennis clubs, mainly to have a nicer, a nice indoor area for kids in our summer camp. Currently, there are no pickleball courts at the Bramphic Low Tennis Center, and as you know, you probably know, pickleball is on a high demand. Same goes for the addition of the tennis hard courts. I was asked to provide an overall approach to my firm's tennis program offering such as food and beverage or sundry items. Currently, at the Bramphic Low Tennis Center, we provide an array of snacks, soft drinks, and sundry items, customarily found at tennis facilities, as well as provide services such as tennis racket stringing. These will continue if we are awarded. We provide tennis group lessons, individual lessons, tournaments, and leagues. We have actually increased adult participation with our league, as we have attracted five additional teams that now call Bramphic Low Tennis Center home. So we now have a total of 12 adult teams playing at Bramphic Low. Our tennis programs, which have received an award from the United States Tennis Association, at the number one tennis program in the state of Florida, are designed to reach every segment of the population, from individuals to families, youth to senior citizens, from beginners to intermediates to advanced, from recreational to competitive players, able-bodied as well as individuals with various disabilities. As a psychologist and teacher previously in the public school system, my personal passion and calling is to guide youth and use their interest in tennis as a vehicle to personal, academic, and athletic development, which is why I created the Caselli Tennis Foundation. And since 1994, have identified youth that are at risk or that are in need of financial assistance and have helped them towards their tennis training, which has resulted in 1,200 youth receiving partial university scholarships and 220 of these receiving full scholarships. I would like to end my presentation conveying that we would very much love to continue serving the public by managing the Bramphic Lieutenant Center. I did, however, list an exception, as it was noted at the beginning, in my response, which I did from a standpoint of responsibility, as there are very costly components and repairs that will come under the purview of the awardee contractor, for which no information was provided in the solicitation, as in the state of these systems, which are mainly the facility subsurface irrigation system, which has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years and is currently at the current price tag anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000, as well as needed resurfacing on the tennis courts, which is an additional $75,000 to $120,000. Both of these very costly systems are currently at their life limit of usable life. It is my opinion that everyone would have been served if this information had been provided in the solicitation. However, my personal knowledge of the Bramphic Lieutenant Center and its 12 surface irrigated clay courts give me a closer knowledge of these items that are required to maintain the facility in top condition. And I just want to make it clear that by listing the exception, I do not object to taking full responsibility for maintenance of the entire facility. The only purpose of the exception, if awarded, is to negotiate the terms into an agreement that will be of benefit both to Broward County and my organization. And I stand firm believing that my organization is the best choice going forward. Thank you. And I am now open to your question. Thank you, Mr. Casey, for your presentation. Committee members, are there any questions for Haisley Tennis Foundation? Yeah, Chris Deal, in your appendices for the capital projects and the additional courts, obviously those courts and you show it has a parking lot. Is that built into your plan as far as the additional parking spaces, the additional lighting and infrastructure that it would take to put those lights and parking lots in place? The answer is yes. And let me just expand a little bit on that. These capital improvements were already approved by the county, but to my current agreement. Now, the thing is that the process took about two and a half years. And so by the time they gave the go-ahead, there was only a little over two years left in the agreement. So it was not feasible to go for it. Nadia Hankerson here. What challenges have you experienced in your last five years working at the Bryan Piccolo Park? Well, thank you for the question. And challenges in terms of the facility, the population, you know, the community, not any challenges in that sense. The challenge has come because when we assume management of the Bryan Piccolo Tennis Center, it was September of 2020 in what was the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an adverse impact on participation and disposable income. As you know, the economy is still down and stemming from probably the pandemic up to today, or hopefully things are improving. So that would be – I would have – in normal times, you know, I've had many years' experience with this, we would have had higher participation. But we're hanging in there and hoping that we will be able to be part of the equation going forward at Bryan Piccolo Tennis Center. Okay. My other question, if you're awarded, are you planning on doing any extra marketing or trying to gain new players or new tournaments there and attract those to the park? Okay. Let me say this as well. Thanks again for the question. We do extensive marketing. Our marketing budget is about $5,000 per month. So we will continue to do so. We – besides Instagram, Facebook, we go directly to the school system. We have partnerships in the school system where they allow us to deliver flyers, which they distribute to the kids and obviously parents as well. So all the marketing efforts will continue, as we've done for – you know, ever since. And we just – let me say this. The participation has not been bad. But I know there is a higher level of participation we can reach. But it's depending on a family's disposable income. And, again, the economy has not been great. But, you know, we've been hanging in there and doing well so far. We have over 120 kids registered in the program. My goal would be to have 200 to 300. We have averaged in our summer camps about 50 kids a week. I would be looking at having 80, 100, 120, which is one of the purposes of the mobile office, which I've done before as I've – you know, I've had experience at other facilities as well. So I know what the potentials are. So in terms of marketing, again, it will continue. Was there a second part to your question? Sorry? No, that was it about how you're attracting patrons. Oh, okay. That's it for me. Thank you. Oh, I want more. We do have – besides the flyers we take to the schools, we also have a program at about eight schools in the area where we make a donation to the school and they allow us to place our banners at these schools in the surrounding community. Thank you. Thank you. Candice, any questions for you? Project manager, any questions? No questions? Hearing no more questions, I want to thank the second presenter, Casely Tennis Foundation, for your presentation and your answers to the questions. Please continue to monitor your emails for when to rejoin the meeting, okay? The public portion of the meeting. Thank you so much. Okay, thank you everyone. Awesome. Thank you. Purchasing, please invite the third presenter, FM Tennis LLC, to join the closed portion of the meeting for their presentation. Everyone? Good afternoon. Thank you. Hi, guys. Hi. So we have five minutes to set up, correct? Yeah. And we'll do some housekeeping while you do that. Okay. FM Tennis LLC, attendees can be viewed in the team's participant panel, and the list on the screen is a list of county staff. Please affirm that there are no other members other than your team and county staff currently in the room? That's correct. Thank you. Who are we making the presenter today? My name is Brandon Flanagan, managing partner of FM Tennis. I'd like to present. I'd also just like to make sure everyone is on board here. Allington, I see you're there. Are you plugged in? Who am I giving presentation rights for in teams? Who should have the presentation ability? That's me. Okay. I see. You should have that ability. You want to try to share your screen? Sure. And we'll start your five-minute, four-year setup. Okay. Brandon, why don't we go through, once you get set up, and just do a roll call and verify everybody's mics and their video capabilities work. Okay. Perfect. Allington, you're available there. Your mic is working? Yes. Allington, intermutement, managing partner of FM Tennis. And Lisa, are you on board? Are you waiting on Lisa? Brittany, are you there? Yes. Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon. And Dana? Yes. Dana Pollitt, representing FM Tennis. Stephanie? Yes. Stephanie Rosendorf, representing FM Tennis. Are you guys ready? We're ready. I was hoping Lisa could join us, but she might have to do it. Let's go ahead and try to get her on if you want. Okay. We have a couple minutes. Is she the only one at this point? Okay. Yeah. Okay. I see a message. There she is. She's on. Hi, I'm on. Hi, Lisa. How are you guys? All right. Let's get started if we can. So let's all go ahead and mute our mics from this point. Okay. Perfect. And am I ready to start? We'll start your 10-minute timer. You may begin. Perfect. Thank you. Well, first off, good afternoon, and thank you for the opportunity to present today. My name is Brandon Flanagan, and I'm here on behalf of FM Tennis to share our vision for the Bryan Piccolo Tennis Center. This proposal is about more than operating courts. It's about stewardship of a public asset, elevating the player experience, and honoring the community legacy that Bryan Piccolo represents. FM Tennis is a local racket sports management company with deep roots in South Florida. Our team is made up of experienced, certified professionals who care deeply about both program quality and character. We believe successful facilities are built on relationships, trust, and consistency, not just programming numbers. FM Tennis was founded in 2009 at the Delaware Beach Tennis Center, and what began as a single operation has grown organically into 13 locations, all through our strong partnerships. We've maintained an office in Broward County since 2021, and our growth has always been people-focused, never rushed, and never transactional. Our approach blends private club standards with the accessibility and mission of a public facility. We have a proven track record, working with local government, and we pride ourselves on collaboration, transparency, and long-term trust. Our goal is simple, make public facilities feel exceptional while remaining welcoming to everyone. This project is supported by a strong leadership team, including myself and Allington Mutimer, as managing partners of FM Tennis, along with Nico Osorio and Glenn Schaefer, who will oversee programs, systems, and operations. In addition, we'll have a court maintenance advisor in Orlando Puleo, who will oversee the quality and care of the tennis courts. We also collaborate with our trusted partners, Lisa Puglisi-Lacroix, who's the CEO and founder of a tremendous organization, Love Serving Autism, Dennis Quay, and Brittany Quay, who's here today, is co-director of Dennis Tennis Serving Love, and Steve Smith, founder of Great Base Tennis Education. Programming at Bryan Piccolo will be inclusive and robust. It'll include day and night leagues, clinics for all ages and levels, school break camps, adaptive programming through Love Serving Autism, programs for underprivileged youth through Dennis Tennis, USTA tournaments, community events, and workshops with Great Base Tennis. Cleanliness is non-negotiable. We operate using daily checklists overseen by a facility director, floors will be swept twice daily, garbage removed daily, supplies replenished daily, and deep cleaning will occur on a regular basis. Consistent cleanliness directly impacts safety, comfort, and public perception. Outdoor areas will receive the same level of attention. Sidewalks and common areas are blown daily, furniture is wiped down, landscaping is maintained weekly and quarterly as appropriate, and pressure washing is completed annually. Any unexpected issues are immediately reported to park management. We'll utilize the court-reserved software and app, which ensures equitable and transparent access, efficient operations, data-driven decisions, improved customer service without increased staffing, and full auditability and accountability. This system benefits both staff and players while maintaining fairness. Hardshoot court maintenance is very important to us. It requires expertise, and we have that. Courts will be groomed in line twice daily with focus scarifying on high wear areas, consistent monitoring of the hydrocourt systems, and monthly rolling and material application. Again, court conditions will be overseen by our lead maintenance supervisor, Orlando Paleo. The details matter when it comes to court maintenance, and as you can see in the attached photo during one of our many site visits to the Bryan Piccolo Tennis Center, safety is the priority. You can see the edges of the courts in this photo are with algae, and it's important for us to scarify the edges in the corners so we eliminate the algae and the hard pan. We also will ensure that the lines are level and visible, and court conditions, again, overseen by our maintenance supervisor to ensure quality control. As you can see, we have court rehabilitation experience. The before and after photos are rehabilitation photos of the before and after, where we improved playability and safety. We upgraded the performance of the court and the aesthetics of the court. And we've also then, by doing this, we've increased or extended the lifespan of the asset and improved the player experience. For us as well, the pro shop is very important because first impressions matter. First impressions equal perceived quality. They build trust and credibility. They enhance customer comfort and belonging. They have a direct impact on revenue. And these two photos here you can see are one of the many pro shops that we manage and the standard that we look to to stand behind. At the Lighthouse Point Pro Shop, FM 10S has made a significant investment, as seen in the before and after photos. We improved the flooring, added new furniture, refreshed the paint. We improved the layout for a better customer service experience. We added a streamlined check-in kiosk for players to check in daily for the reservations. We've also increased the retail offerings, including food and beverage. When it comes to our pro shops and our facilities, our philosophy is community first, not company first. This facility guides, this philosophy guides everything that we do. County facilities should feel like shared community assets, not private brand extensions. Our branding emphasizes local identity, inclusivity, and pride, ensuring players feel ownership, not intimidation. As you can see, another photo of our pro shop in Lighthouse Point with the image of the Lighthouse Point Tower and the branded neon sign for the facility. Our pro shop products will include branded merchandise, food and beverage, and snacks, stringing services, and essential sundry items. All these items are designed to support players without over-commercializing the space. For our improvement proposal to add new windscreens, as you can see, brand new windscreens at one of our facilities, nine feet, which improves the performance in the play on the courts compared to the six-foot windscreens currently in place. And we would also like to propose a Brian Piccolo-branded logo that would refresh the identity of the facility. The number 41 would pay tribute to Brian Piccolo's Chicago Bears legacy and ensure consistent name recognition over time, which would also serve to strengthen community pride. Lastly, as far as capital improvements, we proposed a pickleball court conversion, which would convert one of the hard shoe tennis courts into four asphalt pickleball courts. This is, of course, in response to the growing demand for pickleball, and this would diversify the offerings at the Brian Piccolo Tennis Center. Also reach out to various demographics, and we create a true racket support center for Broward County at the Brian Piccolo Tennis Center. Our timeline for improvements are as follows. In the first 60 days, we'll refresh all the tennis courts. First 90 days, we'll improve and stock the pro shop. Within the first six months, we'll install the new logoed windscreens. And in contract year two, we'll begin the pickleball court conversion. In closing, FM Tennis is committed to honoring the legacy of Brian Piccolo, serving the Broward County community, and operating this facility with integrity, professionalism, and care. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to the opportunity to serve the community. Thank you, FM Tennis, for your presentation. Committee members, are there any questions for FM Tennis? State your name and then your questions. Hi, Nadia Hankerson. Due to these upgrades that you're planning, if you're selected, will there be a major price difference compared to the prices the community is now paying? I don't know. I know you've been to the facility. Have you checked the prices and what they're currently charging? We have. We have. And we would actually honor the existing pricing of the memberships and court rentals. We've always looked at that as a collaboration between the commissions, either city or county commissions that we work with. And we believe those rates should be set to not be an exclusive facility. Our goal is to have this facility be inclusive and to have it priced accordingly. Okay. Thank you. The other question, you mentioned about programs for underprivileged youth. What does that look like? Is that assisting in getting there or is it discounted rates? What is the program really helping with? Where we decided to partner with Dennis Tennis Serving Love and Brittany is on the call. Brittany, if you're available to answer that question, we'd love to have you jump in. Yeah. Thank you, Brandon. And good afternoon, everybody. Just very quickly, Dennis Tennis Serving Love is the 501c3 nonprofit based out of Briar County. And we provide free tennis instructions, equipment, and mentorship. Oh, can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Okay. I'm sorry. We provide free tennis clinics, equipment, and mentorship to youth here in Briar County. Primarily, we serve Lauderdale Lakes and Pompano Beach at this time. But this partnership would be amazing because it would allow us to expand our services to the Cooper City, Davie, Hollywood area. What that looks like is we offer free six-week Saturday programs. Our programs are free to the participants. We receive funding from various funders, including the U.S. Tennis Association of Florida. We teach tennis fundamentals. So kids will come for six Saturdays and learn, again, just the basics. It's a fun learning environment. We have lots of cool giveaways for them. And it's a chance for them to make new friends and try something different. So we would offer that six-week program several times throughout the year in a way that doesn't conflict with standard program scheduling there. We also do community events. So we have different one-off events based on different themes or holidays. So, you know, we'd be able to do some Father's Day and Mother's Day events, inviting parents to come out with their kids and, again, give them that free tennis experience so that kids who might not otherwise have access to the sport can try it for the first time. We promote tennis as a tool for physical and mental wellness. So we do a lot of things with talking to the kids about sportsmanship and about, you know, emotional wellness and how do they deal with disappointment or challenges. So we've been doing this since 2022. Our friendship with Brandon and Mr. Mutimer goes back several years. My husband is the dentist of Dentist Tennis Serving Love. He's a RSPA certified tennis professional. This is what he does for a living. But through the nonprofit is how we bring the sport of tennis to the community. In a way that makes it accessible, again, for kids who might not otherwise have access. Great job, Brittany. Lisa, why don't you elaborate a little bit on your wonderful business and promote? Yes. Hi, how are you? Thank you for the opportunity. My name is Lisa Puglis-Lacrois. I started Love Serving Autism about eight years ago. And we do provide therapeutic racket sports instruction to children and adults with autism and developmental disabilities. We are a partner with FM Tennis. They help us identify coaches and facilities to open adaptive programming for those who otherwise would not have accessibility, like Brittany said, to playing tennis and pickleball. So we have programs in Broward County. We've partnered with a few locations. And we would love to continue to expand to reach more families in the area. Thank you. Brandon, why don't you elaborate on what we just did with the Orange Bowl, the juniors group in Lighthouse Point for the Orange Bowl? Yeah, so as a company, we have a great connection with the USTA and with the Orange Bowl at Lighthouse Point. We had several players from all over the world, some of the best players from all over the world for the Orange Bowl, which gave us an opportunity to showcase, you know, to the youth, you know, what it looks like to play at that international level. We had a lot of participants that were able to come out to take a look at them practice. And I know the residents of Lighthouse Point and several other residents of Broward County really enjoyed that experience as well. I personally brought my daughter and we were able to meet young ladies from Osaka, Japan, Sydney, Australia, a young man from Romania. It was quite spectacular to see the level of players that were brought into Broward County. And in addition to representing Brandon and FM Tennis on this solicitation, I've had the pleasure of working with FM in two additional capacities as the USTA men's tennis captain for Lighthouse Point right here in Broward County and serving on the city's tennis advisory committee. So I have firsthand experience with their court maintenance program, FM's capital improvements, as well as their league training and lessons programs. I play at facilities across the county, including Piccolo, and I can attest to the level of professionalism and how FM Tennis, they really raise the bar at the facilities they operate and their local government experience coupled with managing numerous private facilities, I think is a really key differentiating factor to their team. And I hope, I hope you guys take that into consideration when evaluating them. Thank you. I just have one more question about the pickleball, with the turning one court, I believe you said into four pickleball courts. Is there any, how long does that normally take, that whole process to convert, that conversion process? That process can take anywhere between, you know, six to eight weeks. Obviously, you know, we're also flexible to look into other locations for that court, but the most cost effective way, considering, you know, 12 courts is a fair number of tennis courts for a facility and just the growing popularity of pickleball. We thought that would be a, a really nice addition to the facility and talking to several colleagues, you know, within the area, they've recognized that there are not a lot of pickleball opportunities nearby and just in, in consulting with them, that's really where we arrived to that, to that conclusion. And again, you know, these proposals, you know, we, we work completely in, in collaboration and communication with our partners, you know, in this case, you know, being Broward County. And so, you know, we are flexible in terms of what this looks like. This is our, this is our, our vision for the facility, and we believe it to be a really strong one. And obviously we would work with the leadership at, at Parks and Rec Division to ensure that, you know, that's, this is, you know, the direction they want to go as well. And obviously with this being a county facility, you know, everything would, you know, with, with dealing with permitting or if, if, if you needed to, I think it'd be a, a lot more streamlined process. Thank you. That's it for me. Yes. Candace Jensen. I do have a question in reference to, if you were to be awarded this contract, it looks like you're hiring a full-time director of rackets as well as maintenance professionals and the pro shop manager and the clerks and the pickleball professionals. Can you explain a little bit more? You had said that your approach would be completed within 60 days of the award. Can you explain a little bit more about your process and how you're going to get that achieved? Sure. We have an excellent director of rackets who's, who we've already been in communication with, but obviously, you know, the, the, the sensitivity of, you know, not, not being aware of, of, of when, or if we were awarded the contract. You know, we, we have a really fast network of individuals, not only within our company, but also externally who again, would meet those criteria. And at the end of the day, um, the, the, the buck stops with myself and Allington as the managing partners, our presence at the facility would be consistent, um, as well as our other, uh, members of key members of our team. Um, we believe from a pro shop manager standpoint and pro shop, a stent attendant standpoint, it's really, really important to have someone who is able to greet the customers with a smile and have customer service background and training. And so that's a key focus for us there. Um, uh, in terms of the maintenance technicians, uh, again, court maintenance is probably right up to the top of the list of our priority. Um, just coming back to safety, but also again, this, this perception of walking into a facility and making sure that all the lines are, are visible. Uh, the corners are just as green, um, and, and safe as the playing area of the court. Um, you know, coming back to, coming back to that, how important it is to us, which is why we've enlisted a, uh, a key maintenance supervisor to, to assure quality control on the maintenance side. Um, but yes, our process is extensive. Uh, we go through a thorough vetting process, which includes background checks, uh, reference checks. Um, but again, we have, um, we have one particular candidate in mind who, uh, who is very interested in becoming the director of rackets if we, if we assume the, the, the contract. And, um, he's the person who has experience running city facilities. Uh, he, uh, of, of, of this scope, if not larger. And so, um, you know, that, that really is right now the direction we're thinking for that key role. Um, but in addition to that, we, we do our due diligence in terms of background checks, reference checks, and a thorough, uh, vetting and, uh, training and onboarding process. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the committee members? Hearing none, project manager, date your name for the record and then your questions. This is, my name is Vish Danel, project manager. What experience do you have, or do you have any current, um, agreements with government, um, agencies? Yes, we have, uh, contracts with the city of Lighthouse Point, um, the city of Boynton Beach, and also the city of Parkland. Um, so, you know, be, be at that two of them are within Broward County, uh, the city of Lighthouse Point and the city of Parkland. Um, that's, that is our, uh, our current arrangements with, with, uh, government entities. Can you just, um, being, um, you have experience with government entities, can you describe your organization ability, um, with contract compliance? For example, submitting, um, minimum annual guarantee payments in a timely manner, providing, um, the project deliverables and required reports, um, in a timely manner? Sure, yes. Uh, in, in every instance, um, we've been able to meet the needs, uh, and the requests asked of us by, by the government entities we work with. Um, we have a rental agreement with both the, uh, city of Boynton and the city of Lighthouse Point, in which we have to compensate them for the usage of the, for the lease, the usage of the facilities. Um, you know, that's something we've always been able to meet. Uh, also, too, with the, with the city of Parkland, um, that's essentially a basic, uh, commission structure to run pickleball programs for, for the recreation center. Um, reporting, the great thing about, uh, streamlining everything on court reserve is any necessary reports when it comes to the financials or, uh, usage of the facility is all at the push of a button and we can share, uh, login information from an administrative level, uh, with, uh, with the proper, um, the proper officials. Um, and, uh, and in addition to that, um, as it relates to, uh, incidents or, um, you know, issues, you know, you know, things that are difficult to predict, uh, regarding the facility, um, you know, we're, we're very good at communicating quickly, uh, replying, addressing issues immediately. Um, you know, again, we, we value the, the communication and the partnership aspect of arrangements like this and we, we, we really put a strong emphasis on that. If I could elaborate, you know, uh, Brandon, um, as I mentioned earlier, I'm on the city of Lighthouse Point Tennis Advisory Committee. And so, um, I can attest that, um, the city is extremely happy. And so we were, we're, we're appointed by the mayor and the city commission and, and we report back, uh, monthly. Um, and I just have to say that Brandon and his team are, it's completely transparent. Um, as he mentioned, the court reserve system, um, allows you and your, your members as well as guests to toggle back and forth to other, other clubs, but also it allows that, uh, accountability, that auditability, um, um, so that all revenue and everything is like he said, at a at, at, at a, at a push of a button, very streamlined. So, um, just a, a, a, a class act. Thank you. I've noticed the pro shop picture with the city of Lighthouse Point and you mentioned you have 13 current locations. Do you renovate the pro shop at all your locations or just selected? It's, it's selective depending on, you know, what the facility needs. So obviously, you know, looking at doing our site visits at Lighthouse Point and preparing our proposal, we thought that it was, you know, in need of a refresh and we feel the same way about the Brian Piccolo, uh, pro shop and also the Boynton Beach Tennis Center pro shop, which, um, that is about 95% complete with our renovations there. I would have loved to include photos, uh, in the presentation, but it's just not quite, you know, not quite, uh, completed yet. Uh, and that also, again, we felt like that was needed. Um, again, it comes back to this principle that in this philosophy that we, we want to create a space in which the, the perception is that the quality of, of the facility. And I think when someone walks in to check in or find out about, uh, programs, um, coming in, uh, to, to check out the facility for the first time that the, you know, presentation of, of that area is really important. Um, and so that, that'll be a, a marquee, uh, aspect of our, of our capital improvement proposal here. Uh, in addition, you know, the, uh, the, the items that can be sold, uh, or additional services that can be performed inside of pro shop, like racket stringing, racket re-gripping, um, also, you know, having, uh, snacks, uh, and beverages available, um, in addition to other, uh, you know, key items like rackets, paddles, um, you know, some branded merchandise. Again, I think it just raises the experience for the members of the community. Uh, and I think that has a really, a really strong trickle down effect to the satisfaction, um, and the perceived quality of, of the operations. And Brandon, I think, you know, it, uh, you just highlight your, your relationships. Uh, you know, company-wide with, you know, major manufacturers, Wilson, Head, uh, and others. Um, and I, you know, I think it speaks volumes that FM is the only vendor, you know, willing to provide such a large capital investment into the facility. Um, I think it shows their commitment and dedication to a long-term relationship with Broward County. Um, obviously they're willing to introduce revenue sharing as a percentage if the county prefers that as an option. Um, um, but, uh, Brandon, you want to elaborate on your relationships with, with vendors? Yes, Wilson, Head, um, several pickleball paddle companies, um, also New Balance for footwear and, and, and clothing. Um, again, we've just been doing this now, uh, across various facilities, working with various vendors, um, you know, uh, creating those relationships. And, uh, and so, yes, we, we do put a high priority on that. Um, and we believe we could, could really enhance the, the, the feel of the, of the pro shop. Again, creating a, a sense of, of a community where people feel welcomed and they can actually spend time while they wait to get a racket strong or to watch, um, you know, some of the, some of the Australian open on TV, you know, those are the, the kind of things that, and I think that pro shop there has that potential, you know, cause it's a good, it's a good size shop. You know, Brandon, if something is, it's interesting is the, the, uh, Piccolo Palooza, similar to, uh, what you're doing in Lighthouse Point for the, the, the, the Lighthouse Point Palooza. Why don't you elaborate on those special events? Absolutely. I mean, just working with, um, you know, local entities like, uh, Broward County Fire and Police, um, but also something, uh, a recent initiative is, is offering a free event every year at our city facilities in which we're welcoming members of the community for a, uh, a full-on family event, which would include everything from, you know, from Lighthouse Point, for example, we've coordinated with the director of Parks and Rec to, to offer a concert in the evening, you know, to, to culminate the, the, um, the, the activities along with pickleball instruction, tennis instruction, games for adults, for kids, um, food trucks, uh, just again, I mean, just our way of, of trying to, to create a community atmosphere, trying to give back. Um, and of course, things like that serve to create a sustainable, um, program, you know, to, to bring in new members of the community who maybe haven't played tennis or pickleball in a while or, or ever, um, and get them to take part in, you know, renting a court, um, you know, joining a league, uh, joining a clinic, um, things like that. So, uh, that is a, uh, an initiative we're proud of and happy to extend, uh, at Brian Piccolo as well. Thank you so much. Part of the RFP requirement. Thank you. You're welcome. Part of the RFP requirements is, uh, for the vendor's ability to meet the tennis court maintenance and responsibilities. Uh, do you acknowledge, uh, that the, uh, the awarded vendor at his own expense will be, uh, responsible for all costs associated with the operating and furnishing the tennis center, including expenses related to the maintenance services, the tennis courts, the tennis court irrigation system, and the tennis court resurfacing? Yes. Thank you. Project manager has no further questions. Thank you. Circling back to the committee members, are there any additional questions? State your name, then your question. Go ahead. State your name, then your question. Candace Jensen. Um, I do have another question, um, actually two parts. Uh, the first is, can you just confirm that you do not have any projected projects that's, um, have been awarded, um, but the notice to proceed has not been issued? I'm not sure I know how to answer that exactly. Uh, could you clarify? Um, so you, you have, um, any, any projects or, um, awards that have been made, but you have not started yet? Oh, uh, no. Okay. And then the other question that I have is you're currently managing, um, 12 other facilities. Can you, um, basically, I guess, describe any, um, challenges or if there would be any challenges for your firm to handle this additional facility? Um, we're, we're, we're really proud of those, of the infrastructure we've created, um, which, which is essentially, you know, from, from myself and Allington's vantage point, again, being the leaders of, of the company. Um, we, we have our, we have our, um, our, our, our phones are constantly available and we, we, we, we liaise with all of our staff. Uh, but predominantly we work very closely with our directors and, um, we're, we're very happy and proud of the, the quality of those, uh, of those relationships, but also the quality of the work that they're doing. And, um, I think that, you know, speaks, speaks volumes to hear from several members or residents at the various facilities that we manage or offer programs at to have their, you know, testimonials and have their support to see just the, the continued, um, renewal of these, of these, of these contracts. And for us, that longevity is so important. Um, you know, we, we value that we, we want to be part of the community for a long time. Um, but yes, I just think we have a, we have a structure, um, as an organization that is more than just, uh, you know, a one man band, you know, we have support staff on the marketing side. We have support staff on the systems and operations side, support staff on the court, court maintenance inside, um, you know, as well as, uh, everything down to, uh, you know, uh, structured, um, you know, payroll and, and any issues that, you know, that might come up, you know, in terms of, you know, we have a fantastic legal, uh, legal support, uh, person, um, as well as, uh, on the insurance side. And so, um, so yeah, like, like I said in the, in the opening, you know, we, uh, we were recently awarded, um, uh, again, something that was, was, was special and cool for us to see, you know, to be awarded, uh, uh, the ink on the ink 5,000 is one of the fastest growing private companies in America, but it's, you know, that's been something we've been working on since 2009. So it's, it's not, it's not really something that's happened overnight. Um, and those relationships across not only within our staff, you know, of, of a little over 50, um, staff members right now, but also with the greater community, um, you know, which again, uh, the relationship I have with, with Lisa and, and Brittany and Dennis, uh, and Steve Smith, you know, those are, those are the kinds of things that I think really help support, uh, the, the success of a facility like Brian Piccolo, because at the end of the day, you know, it does take a number of key individuals, um, contributing, uh, in, in these various areas. Right. So, um, so yeah, we're, we're very, we're very, um, very confident that, uh, this will be a success, uh, both for, for the community and for FM tennis. I think it's just as the, the former chair of the office of economic and small business development, you know, working with so many small businesses in Broward County, I mean, it's, it's, it's super impressive to see what, um, what, what these two gentlemen have accomplished and the infrastructure that they've created from the accounting to the, you know, to the, to the, the, the actual, the tennis programs, to the events, um, all the back, the stuff that you don't see, you know, on a day-to-day basis. So it's, I mean, it's kind of the, the American dream to, to, you know, as a small business to, to, to build something like this. So it's, it's quite impressive, but impressive. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions, committee members? Hearing none. Any other questions, project manager? Hearing none. Um, FM Tennis, thank you so much for your time and your presentation today. Please continue to monitor your emails for when to join the public portion of the meeting. Purchasing, please invite the fourth and final presenter, David Insignia, Tennis Academy, for the closed portion of the meeting for their presentation. Thank you guys. We'll see you guys later. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Good afternoon. Hello, good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for rejoining us. Are we waiting for any other members of your team? No, it will be only me and I have the director next to me. Okay. Thank you. Um, David Insignia, uh, teams, participant panel, the list can be viewed there. And momentarily, you'll have a list of county staff. Okay. For the record, please affirm that there are no other individuals in the meeting other than your team and county staff. Correct, affirm. Thank you. We'll give you your presentation ability momentarily as well. You should be able to share now. And because you have, um, that individual in the room with you, I'd just like to, for it, for the record, for him to state the name, um, his name, please. How are you? Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. Thank you. And your name? Uh, David Insignia, senior. Thank you. Ensure that you can share your screen now? Okay, I'm trying to share there, but it's not allowing me. Are you getting any type of error message? No, it says show content, but then, uh, it's not doing anything. I can't do anything, like more actions or anything. Want us to share what you sent to Desirene for you? Yep, we can do that. Just a moment. Sure. Is this what you want to speak from? Yes. Okay. If you're ready, we're ready. You're just going to have to tell us when to kind of, like, scroll through, okay? Move to the next slide. Yes. Okay. Okay. Good afternoon, everyone. One second. Hold on. Let me start your 10-minute timer. You may begin. Okay. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Jasset Gonzalez, and I represent David Insignia Tennis Academy, also known as DITA. If you can please move to the next slide and the next one. Okay, so, uh, we have different topics that, uh, your team and committee would like to discuss or learn more about our proposal. The first one will be to provide additional details regarding our firm proposed maintenance approach for the clay quartz and hydro quartz irrigation system. If we can move to the next slide. Okay, so, our better approach, based on the information that we handle, is, first of all, to do an evaluation of the current situation of the courts. We have visited the, um, site a couple of times, and we had also had the opportunity to meet with the, uh, current, uh, contractor for maintaining the court, who was kind enough to give us, like, a, um, list of the different issues that he sees. However, we believe that also hiring a professional firm, a general contractor, um, to do, uh, first evaluation about the current situation will help us a lot on making our best approach of the maintenance. Uh, we believe that, um, contractor as, um, fast dry quartz, which is very well known in the market, will be, uh, good advisor on how we can do the best maintenance and the current situation of the courts. So, um, if we can move to the next, uh, slide. Our, uh, maintenance scope or our maintenance schedule was also, um, line up at our proposal. Uh, there are different daily, weekly, and monthly, um, different tasks that will be performed under the standards of the, um, market and also guide, um, based on the guidance of this contractor that we will hire. Um, I have to say that, uh, as a company that handles different locations, we have our operation based on different teams. So in the case of the maintenance, we will hire somebody or a company or a contractor that will have good experience on this. Uh, and, uh, then we'll handle all this maintenance part, always supervised by our, our directors. Our directors are definitely, that they're coming from South, South America. They had a lot of knowledge in what is red clay. And even if it's a different kind of, uh, material and different kind of maintenance, they also have the knowledge on how to supervise and, uh, maintain the quality of the system as well. If we can move to the next, uh, slide. Okay. In consideration of the RFP compliance, we have to say that the water management is critical on the hydro core performance. We got, uh, information from the, uh, current contractor that, uh, the, um, the water underground is floating. They have, uh, different problems also during the rain time. They also get floating in their bathrooms when, uh, it rains and also problem with the irrigation system from the landscaping that is, uh, filling some of the courts with water. So that's something that we need to address as well. And, uh, of course, doing all kinds of preventing care that protects the core base and infrastructure and, uh, compliance with the RFP statement. Next slide, please. So the next, um, topic will be to provide an estimate time on the implement and the, on your, our infirm will implement proposal capital improvements. If we can move forward to the next slide, please. So based on a five year contract, the, the capital improvements that we would like to do are limited for this time of period, uh, with a longer, uh, contract, we will do much more better as far as capital investments. Um, but our approach for, uh, these terms will be to, uh, do minor, uh, repairs for surface cleaning, repainting, improve the pro shop, improve the signage and, uh, the different seating areas, windscreen, more of a static, uh, improvement. And in a period of 24 months is to restore and reactivate the rocket board facility that, uh, is abandoned at this moment. If we move to the next slide, uh, I think one back. Oh, okay. So I thought it was another, another slide there. So, um, I believe that, oh, it's in the further question where, uh, we have the, the two comparison of the currency and the current and, uh, the proposed one, uh, as I was saying in this five year contract, uh, we also expose in our RFP that in the case, there is an opportunity for a longer contract. We will also, our company will also be willing to build additional, uh, pickable cords and paddle cords as well. Regarding the, um, topic number three is explain the core reservation system that will be used under this contract. We recently switched to a well-known, um, reservation system that's called play-by-point. If we can move to the next slide, please. So the play-by-point, uh, we, we are actually, uh, move all our operation, which was Tennis and Pickable into one dedicated app starting this past January 1st. It's a very easy to manage, uh, user-friendly, um, that handles reservation programs, memberships, and also have other, um, features that will include, um, artificial intelligence like in video system that can be included into the features and, uh, for the, for the players and the customers that can be integrated into the, into this app. So the most important thing is, uh, the user-friendly version, uh, for the, um, um, the patrons that will use the courts and, as well, our way to keep all the different records, sales, um, programming, organize, retention information, and, uh, everything that a system like this can offer to us. And the next slide, please. So the, uh, topic number four will be to elaborate on the firm's approach to facility maintenance, including both routine maintenance and non-routine maintenance. The next slide is, so we have created, we, uh, in our regular operation, we work with this kind of charts or forms where each one of our staff know what, uh, they are responsible for. Uh, we have different tasks that could be daily, weekly, monthly, and, uh, out of the schedule, um, two minutes, okay. So, um, basically, based in our operation and the history of our, um, operation for the other facilities, we have to say that we pay very close attention to maintenance and improvements that we do to our different, uh, locations. So next slide, please. Next slide. So I believe that the next slide will be more about, uh, um, how it looks, before and after the improvements. Okay. Through the capital improvements. Next slide, please. So the, um, the ideas exposed before is, um, to do, to, um, repair the rocket, um, ball area and, uh, aesthetic, uh, improvements. But whoever, whatever a large scale, a scale new construction will be more appropriate for long-term agreements. And that's the idea that we have of including the pickable and, uh, the paddle courts. And the next slide, we can see the, um, what we have done in the past with, uh, some of our other locations, like the Miccosuke Gulf and Country Club. How did we get it? And, uh, how the, uh, improvements were completed by 2021, which is our current, um, situation in that location. And in the next slide, you can see also, like the proposal for the 24 month, between the first 24 months of the contract. What is the current status of the racquetball facility versus the proposal in, uh, the proposal, the proposal version. And the next slide, uh, the last one, and the topic is, uh, provide an overall approach of, uh, our firm for tennis program and offerings such as food and beverage or sundry items. If we move forward to the last slide, then, um, we have a list of the different offers that we're, we have plans to include in the pro shop. Besides that, as mentioned before, the idea is to improve and update this, uh, area of the facility, because it looks like very old, very out of date. And now we will include different, uh, branded merchandise equipment, a sort of different office snacks, drinks, uh, and a sundries, like some blood mosquito repellent pain and pain prints. And that's your time. I gave you about a few seconds because we were delayed. Oh, okay. So then the last, the last one, it will be regarding our tennis programs. We are very, very, very strong in tennis programs. That's your time. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you so much for your presentation. You do have an unlimited question and answer, so, um. Okay. Project, um, committee members, are there any questions for David Insignia? State your name, then your questions. Yeah. Chris Deal, uh, just one question. If I understood correctly, uh, as far as the maintenance of the courts, uh, you'll be, um, hiring, uh, a vendor, an outside vendor to do that work, um, if you were to be awarded, how soon would you be able to hire somebody on and, um, how would they be managed? If I understood correctly, you have a, a managing director that, that oversees them. If you could just elaborate on that a little bit. So the idea of an outside contractor is mainly to get the first evaluation and to design a plan that fits into the current situation of this, uh, system that would allow us to maintain the courts in perfect condition, safety condition, and, um, that it's also doable for us. We will have our in-house maintenance person that for sure is not only based on, uh, an outsource. We will have our inside maintenance team or person that will follow all this, uh, guidance that we'll have from a professional, uh, general contractor. Thank you. Nadia Hankerson, my question for the, um, I know you didn't get to the slide, but we're, I'm looking at it with the adult programs and the senior programs you have and all the other programs, um, do you plan to increase your pricing or try to maintain what's already there? Do you know the current pricing and what you would possibly do? Uh, we don't know the current prices. Sorry. Um, bad. We, in our RFP, we had a proposal on the different price list. Uh, those are based on, uh, what we currently charge at this moment for the same programs. As far as adults, it seems you are making the question specifically regarding that. Uh, we do have our, our nonprofit organization, which is it a friend, a lot of community outreach programs that are for 55 plus, uh, players. And I can tell you what we have currently going in this moment at our locations. We have a free program for beginners, 55 plus for tennis, and we have impeccable, uh, free open play in the mornings. And on top of that, we do reduce the price clinics for those players that are looking for more competitive, uh, programs. Thank you. And one more question. How many pickleball courts were you planning to do with this capital improvement and how soon could they be done? So the proposal for the pickable courts, uh, is only if the contract will be awarded for a longer term because it's not just transforming tennis courts. We don't want to take tennis courts away from the community. What we could like to do is to utilize the, um, area and build additional pickable courts. And the idea was to build six pickable courts and, uh, four paddle courts with a longer contract. Thank you. Candace, any questions that you named on your questions? Yes. Candace Jensen. Um, I do have a question, um, in relation to your personnel, um, in your RFP, you talk about two additional staff members. They're subcontractors. Can you tell me a little bit more about the subcontractors? Um, can you please let me know if subcontractors in maintenance or, or? It was in the staffing plan. Which department? Sorry, I can hear you. I'm sorry. I was searching the wrong section. Oh. Okay. Okay. Um, on your proposal, you list two additional, um, subcontractors, Daniel, um, Jimenez and Michael Cassells. And I was just wondering, um, if they would be, I guess they're tennis instructors or could you elaborate on their role? Sure. They are tennis instructors, uh, in the industry. Most of the tennis coaches, uh, they work as subcontractor, like independent, uh, contractors. Um, our main team, like the park manager or the tennis center manager, assistant and program director are, um, staff full-time dedicated to our programming and operation. However, in terms of the coaching, uh, they are hired as subcontractors and they all had, uh, for all our other operations is a standard procedure. They always check their background, uh, in terms of, uh, experience, years of experience, certifications, background check, safe play, and, uh, all the, the standards that we follow for the different, um, coaches and insurance. Yes. Thank you. Okay. And then, um, following up to the question that was asked earlier in reference to your improvement, your capital improvement plan, um, uh, I was a little confused because from what I was looking at it said that there was a proposal within 24 months and then the remainder of the capital improvements within the five years of the contract. But, um, so could you just again clarify what exactly is going to be done within the 24 months and what's going to be done if you were to have three additional renewal periods, I guess, or the total of five years? Oh, as long as possible. So, um, the first improvements will be the aesthetic. So, which are the upgraded of the banners, windscreens, nets, uh, seating areas, the pro shop. Then before we comply with the 24 months, we will have ready then the, the racquetball area. And, uh, that should be ready by starting the third year of contract. Then, uh, since the RFP is for five years, if we will be able to get at least 10 years of RFP, uh, of contract, then, uh, we will be able to build then the pickable courts and padel courts. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Project manager, any questions? State your name, then your questions. Yes. My name is Vish Nandel, project manager. Um, all right. Nice to meet you. I just had a couple of questions here. You, in, within your proposal itself, not the presentation, you submitted two agreements. Do you currently have those two agreements active, the village of Pinecrest and Miami-Dade County? Yes, we do. Okay. Perfect. Um, also, how do you have, how many other locations that you currently operate? Four locations. So, one is village of Pinecrest. The other one will be with Miami-Dade County for Continental Tennis Park. That is a 10 year contract. Uh, the Archimedean Academy, which is a Greek school. And we are the providers for all the tennis programming of the school. And then Nikosuke golf and country club, which is a private, uh, venue with, um, the club. And we just renovate for additional eight more years with them. Do you renovate, um, at all your locations or just certain ones? The mayor renovation was the one at the Mikosuke golf and country club. Uh, the, we, in the slide presentation that we had the pictures of before and after, um, at the Continental Tennis Center, we also have done different improvements. We, uh, upgrade the bathrooms, the pro shop, the shading areas. And, uh, we're now, um, trying to work with the county, which is, uh, um, a little bit, uh, there is a process of that, as you may know, um, to build a shaded area and a deck for the social areas of the park. Thank you. And I just want to clarify one thing before I get to my last question. I know you mentioned, um, for longer terms and five years. So for this solicitation, it's a five year initial term, and it also has five, um, additional one year renewal options. So it's a total of 10 years if exercised. Oh, okay. But is that automatically? Not automatically. Um, at the end of the initial term, which is the five years, you know, both parties have degree. You have to see if there's any breaches or default and if both parties are satisfied and, you know, who knows what happens after five years. Okay. Thank you for clarifying that. That's a very important information. You're welcome. And also part of this, um, RFP is the ability to meet tennis court maintenance requirements and the responsibilities. Do you acknowledge that the awarded vendor at its own expense shall be responsible for all costs associated with operating and furnishing the tennis center, including expenses related to maintenance services, the tennis courts, the tennis court irrigation system, and the tennis court resurfacing? Yes, we acknowledge that. That was one of the questions we did in the RFP. And, um, and yes, we do acknowledge, we understand that the system was installed in 2008, which, uh, is like a midterm life. Usually the system should be last for about 20 to 25 years. Uh, and is currently working. So again, this evaluation part is critical for us to be able to maintain the, the life span of the system during the period of the, of the operation. Thank you. Project manager has no further questions. Thank you. Circling back to the committee members. Any additional questions? Hearing none. Um, David Insigne, thank you so much for your presentation and your time today. Um, the fourth and final presenter, David Insigne Tennis Academy has now completed their presentation and answered all questions. This concludes all vendor presentation. At this time, I'm going to call a quick recess while we invite the other members of, other vendors and members of the public back to the public portion. The time is now 4 22 PM and we're in recess. You may remain, you may remain in the meeting. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you everyone for rejoining us. The time is 4 26 PM. Uh, I would like to reconvene the meeting. The time is now 4 26 PM. The next order of business is the scoring of the vendors. The score sheets that have been distributed to the evaluation committee members. Um, the score sheet have been distributed to the evaluation committee members. The score sheet includes the assigned points for location, which are, which are applied based on a specific criteria stated in the solicitation. The score sheet also includes points for price, which were calculated based on the formula identified in the solicitation for the minimum annual guarantee and the percentage fee. When all committee members have completed and submitted their score sheets, I will recess the meeting to provide time to tabulate the results. Committee members, please confirm that you have your score sheet and let me know if you have any questions. Nadia Hankerson, I confirm I have my score sheet. Thank you. Chris Dill, I confirm I have my score sheet. Candice Jensen, I confirm that I received my scoring sheet. Any questions about the score sheets? Hearing none, you may begin your scoring. All score sheets have been received. We will now take a recess to tabulate the results. The time is 4 45 p.m. Thank you for your patience, everyone. We would like to reconvene a meeting. The time is 5 54 p.m. Before the results are announced, I would like to take the time to thank all the vendors for your participation in the solicitation process. We appreciate your time and interest in doing business with Barrett County. Purchasing, please announce the scores and ranking. Thank you, Madam Facilitator. The scores are as follows. Casely Tennis Foundation, Inc., total score 247. David Insignia Tennis Academy, total score 255. FM Tennis LLC, 253. 10 Pro USA Corp., 156. The ranking are as follows. The first ranked vendor is David Insignia Tennis Academy. The second ranked vendor is FM Tennis LLC. The third ranked vendor, Paisley Tennis Foundation, Inc., the fourth ranked vendor, 10 Pro USA Corp. However, pursuant to the code of ordinance section 1-75B3, local preference, if a local vendor is the highest ranked vendor and one or more local businesses are within 5% of the total points obtained by the local by the non-local vendor, the highest ranked local business shall be deemed to be the highest ranked vendor overall. Therefore, since the local vendors, FM Tennis LLC and Casely Tennis Foundation, Inc. scores are within 5% of the non-local vendor, David Insignia Tennis Academy score, FM Tennis is the number one ranked vendor and Casely Tennis Foundation is the second ranked vendor. And David Insignia Tennis Academy is the third ranked vendor, and 10 Pro USA Corp., the fourth ranked vendor. Thank you, Madam Facilitator. Thank you. The next order of business is to accept the scoring and the ranking as per the local preference ordinance. May I have a motion to accept the evaluation committee's results and recommendation of ranking for approval? Nadia Hankerson. I would like to make a motion to accept the evaluation committee's results. May I have a second? Chris Deal. I second the motion. All in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. The evaluation committee recommendation will be posted on the purchasing division's website for three business days as a proposed recommendation of ranking. Following this three business day period, if no objections to the proposed ranking have been received in writing by the director of purchasing, a final recommendation of ranking will be posted for five business days. If no vendor timely objects or protests, the ranking shall be final, provided that no county commissioner objects within the five business days after receiving a notice from the purchasing division of the final ranking. Once the ranking is deemed final, the county shall commence the contract negotiations with the number one ranked vendor. As a reminder, all information reviewed by the evaluation committee is posted on the purchase and division website repository, including the closed portion of this meeting. Committee members, is there any other business we need to discuss today? Hearing none, again, I would like to thank all the vendors that responded and provided their presentation today. Thank you also for your evaluation committee members for your participation. Appreciate it. This final evaluation committee meeting is adjourned. The time is 5.58 p.m. Thank you all. Have a good evening. You
