All right then. So we are about to get started again. I want to thank you for your patience. Good morning. I am Jeanette Farrell, Purchasing Manager and the Meeting Facilitator. I would like to call to order the final Evaluation Committee meeting for request for proposals RFP number PNC-2130373P1, Architectural and Engineering Consulting Services for Fort Everglades. The time is now 9.57 a.m. on December 1st, 2025. This meeting is being held through Microsoft Teams, representatives from the county of Physically Hearing Room 302 of the Governmental Center Building East, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, or virtually through Teams. Attendees, please mute the mics on your device to limit background noises. This is a public meeting and is being recorded by Broward County. The video recording will act as the official recording of the meeting. The recording will be made available on the Purchasing Manager's website under the RLI-RFP repository. Information reviewed by the Evaluation Committee as part of the evaluation process will also be posted on the repository. This meeting has been publicly noticed. The purpose of this meeting is for the evaluation committee to hear presentations, score, and rank the responsive, responsible, and shortlisted terms. At the initial evaluation committee meeting on November 7th, 2025, the evaluation committee determined all vendors to be both responsive and responsible. After shortlisting the following vendors, advance to final evaluation and ranking taking place today. Those vendors are BEA Architect, Inc., Bromelo, Adjmir, and Partners, LLC, Chanmore, and Associates, Inc. Meeting attendance will be recorded in the following ways. One, the Purchasing Division will record the attendance of county staff physically here in room 302. Two, all virtual attendees, including county staff, please click on the link or scan the QR code that is currently listed in the Teams chat section to complete the sign-in sheet. Three, for attendees that cannot access link or QR code in the Teams chat, email the Purchasing Assistant Manager, Nancy Olsen, at N-O-L-E-S-E-N, at Broward.org, with the subject EC Meeting Attendance, and indicate your name, your title, and the company that you represent in the email body. We have a quorum present with the following evaluation committee members. Committee members, please say present after your name is called. Cesar Galliano-Franco, Construction Project Manager, Seaport Engineering and Construction Division, Port Everglades Department. Present. Norma Swartz, Expansion Project Administrator, Planning Division, Aviation Department. Present. Michael Goodman, Construction Project Manager, Parks and Recreation Division. Present. Thank you. It is the evaluation committee's responsibility to review the vendor's submittals, to ensure solicitation requirements are met, and to evaluate the submittals and 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. The evaluation committee members are responsible for following the county's established committee procedures to select vendors which provide the services that are in the system. 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 their submittal reviews. The call of silence has been in effect since the solicitation advertisement. Vendors are prohibited from discussing this solicitation with the commissioner's office, county staff, or a member of the evaluation committee. The call of silence terminates when the awarding authority takes action which ends the solicitation. During the call of silence, inquiries regarding this solicitation should be directed to the project manager or the director of purchasing and or his designee. Also, vendors may communicate with designated representatives from the office of economic and small business development at any time regarding the solicitations, small business, enterprise, or community business, enterprise participation. The summary of the vendor's rights regarding Broward County's competitive solicitations was issued with 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? Hearing none, may I have a motion to approve the minutes from the initial evaluation committee meeting? I, Norman Schwartz, would like to make a motion to approve the minutes from the initial evaluation committee meeting held on December 1st. November 7th. November, sorry, November 7th, 2025. May I have a second? Michael Goodman, second the motion? All in favor say aye. All in all polls, motion carried unanimously. As stated previously at the initial evaluation committee meeting, the solicitation requires vendors to state whether they accept Broward County's standard terms and conditions or if they do not accept them to identify the agreement provisions and the vendor's proposed changes. Two of the three shortlisted vendors accepted the county's standard terms and conditions. The following vendor was given the opportunity to waive their exceptions but elected to maintain their exceptions to the county's standard terms and conditions. Bromelo, Azmir, and Partners, LSC. The specific exceptions taken by this vendor is outlined in the exceptions matrix that has been distributed to the evaluation committee members for their review. The county attorney's office and risk management division is available for questions by the evaluation committee concerning these exceptions. Are there any questions for the county attorney's or risk management from the evaluation committee? We'll move forward. The next order of business are the vendor presentations in accordance with section 286.0113 of Florida Statute's presentations and questions and answers are closed to the public. Only 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 of the closed presentation sessions. Sub consultants partnering with multiple prime vendors are only allowed to participate in one vendor's closed presentation session. Presentations will be limited to 15 minutes followed by an unlimited question and answer period. The presenters will have up to five minutes of setup. The timekeeper will be the purchasing assistant manager, Nancy Olson. As the meeting progress, the purchasing division will provide email updates to vendors, ensuring that each upcoming presenter is informed when it's time to join. Once our presentations and Q&A sessions have concluded, vendors, 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. The presentation topics, length, and other in order was identified during the initial evaluation committee meeting and was distributed to the presenting vendors. Each vendor has 15 minutes for the presentation, followed by an unlimited question and answer sections. Vendors will be presenting in the following order. At this time, we will move into the closed portion of this meeting. The first vendor presenting, Chen Moore & Associates, Inc. Please remain in the meeting. All other presenting vendors, their accompanying teams, 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. Chen Moore & Associates, Inc. Attendees can be viewed in the team's participating panel. Displayed on the screen is a list of county staff. Please review to ensure only your team members and county staff are in attendance. Could you repeat the name that you said is not a part of your team? Okay, so you can confirm that there are no additional attendees outside of your team and borough county staff. While you are reviewing the list, please advise which member of your team should be designated as the presenter and teams to share their screen during the presentation. For the record, please affirm that there are no other individuals are in the meeting other than your team and county staff. You will now have five minutes to set up. Purchasing staff, please start the five-minute set-up timer. Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. We can hear you too, Danny. No. No. Yes. Can you hear me? Why? Yes, Peter, can you hear me? Yes, sir. Larry. Oh, cool. All right. Greg, would you just hold up the presentation? Let me know. I'll refer to you. Let me know. You tell them you're ready to go. All right, the Shedmark team is ready to go. Okay, let me start. All right, the purchasing agent will set the timer for 15 minutes. We may begin. I have a happy entire team on. Thank you for allowing us to present here today. Here is our presentation outline. All right, here's our presentation outline. Approach past performance, and I'll wrap up and watch as the Shedmark team. The scoring criteria is shown here because our job is to make sure that we make Broward County's life easier, and so our presentation is lined out exactly the same way your scoring criteria is laid out. I'm hearing a lot of background on it. I think we need to mute the telephone. For a matter of two, you guys made a great choice by choosing Shenmore to be your professional engineer, your consultant, your A&A consultant, and today is even a better choice. Great choice for a better choice now. Today we have our experience, our personnel. We provide our services. We have closer partners and stronger communities. Next slide please. Next slide please. Here's our firm. Here's our firm. All the way up through our first contract in Broward County. Our first contract in the airport. Our first contract in Port Everglades. Next slide please. What this shows you today is today we just have actually had our 174th, 174th employee start today. We are a firm that does work with 10 states in eight countries. We brand it to you globally. Next slide please. We really want to focus on the fact we're a Florida-based firm. We're headquartered right here in Broward County. I made a joke that when Claude Gentile gave us the first contract, I was at the headquartered for 90 minutes to sign it. So that was me the CEO driving over there. Next please. We are experts working with and working for Broward County. We work continuously with the county since 1987 with over 100 projects. What this does again is our job is to make their lives easier and we work for every one of these divisions. Specifically talking about different selection criteria of the different committee members. We work for Port Everglades. We're really excited about our experience with Port, joining the Port Everglades Association and being an active member there. We obviously have been working with BCAAD since 2008. We're really excited about the fact that they're taking a relationship there. And then Michael, we work with the Parks and Rec. You just haven't done your Parks and Rec semester plan. All the way to our last project here, which is our first prime contract at Parks and Rec. Title of what resilience project. I think that's how we will report. We're experts for continuing service contracts. We have over 100 continuing service contracts in Florida, including 75 as prime contractors, 11 prime contractors for our county agencies. Now, really, let's get into key parts now. This is what's really important. Here's your CMAT. I'll be the principal in charge. I'll be still serving as the principal in charge of this. Greg Mendez will be making up the bulk of this presentation, talking a little bit later. We have Garren and Danny here to able to represent us. And, of course, we have our two great partners. We have mom and Nicole and Larry, who have been in front of us for a very long time. And Juan, who's in town here. And Justin Architects, a great partner of ours for a very long time as well. We don't have a large general consulting contract, but a really large organizational chart. So we're sorry this is so big. But I know that in the criteria there were a number of different services that were asked for. And I guarantee this org chart checks the box for every single one of them. What I really want to get into is our project manager, Greg Mendez. Over 27 years of experience. Managed over 40 continuing CCNA contracts. He's our current project manager. He's currently doing the work with HUGE. And he worked for the port before that. He's done work with VCAT as well. Working on fueling and all kinds of other interesting projects. But his synchronized project management approach for large continued service contracts is really the differentiator that we have here today. We also have consultants. Our two mountain CDE consultants from Muppet and everyone come in Cedarburg. They're both our maritime and board consultants. And then our CDE team. We're so proud. As we graduate CDE, we're so proud of the team that we have. Almost all of these subs were on our first contract. And we're so proud to continue that relationship moving forward. Muppet and what do I say. Our last contract, we had a very large sub. But we have the number one firm in North America for ports and more in North America for ports and marine facilities in the form of Muffet and Nipple for the last four years. You see Port Everglades, you see the work that they've done throughout Port Manatee, and you also see the work they've done at Port Tampa, which is a very similar contract to us. Getting into the very specific question that you have in the RFP was dynamic horn analysis with some baller load design for 250 tons. We are second to them. We have Larry, we have Ludovic, we have Chris. We have over 100 years of experience. These people are already in our proposal. In the turning notch and the battleship placement's work, we've already met this criteria in Port Everglades alone. So, please give us a big check there. The next thing, Norman, your question about seawalls, I want to make sure we focus on that. We're going to call them Vulcans in the work of this size. And here you see both Muffet, Nipple, and our subcub of Cedarburg. There you see some non-destructive testing, some other measurements that are being done on the inspection side. All the way from Savannah, Fort Benatee, Boston, Fort Tampa, San Juan. And this goes to evaluations, planning, design, and inspection. And since all three of you have at least one degree in architecture, we would be remiss without mentioning Juan and Justin Architects. Over 45 years from Broward County, they are the legacy firm of West Cartaglia Associates. They're a Broward CBE. They've done work with the Port and the Heron Garage. They've done work under our contract, and they're D-CAN continuing to solve them. So, it's a great fit here with Dental Paird over the ground. Thank you very much, Peter. Good morning, everyone. I'd like to spend a few minutes to talk about our approach to this project. And that all really starts with understanding the scope of work from Manhattan Health. This wonderful contract with the Port for the last five years has really been this direct and insight as to what the Seaport Engineering Group and the facilities that this division are going to require us. In general, we know that this contract includes a lot of infrastructure, utility improvements, stormwater improvements, utility assessments and studies, seawall assessments, port user access, or experience improvements, and many more. And really, that ties hand-in-hand with what the division is for the Port. We've been attending many of the Charest and other meetings of the Port of Master Plan vision development over the last couple of years. And really, our team's three key goals of the vision plan is to enhance support competitiveness, increase economic value, and support long-term sustainability. So, in particular, how does that affect us? It's the priority projects that are out there in the plan, that you're a five-year project serving. They're going to overlap in the duration of our contract. So, naturally, it moved us to take a look at all of those projects and how we can contribute or participate directly in those contracts. And these are both priority projects for zero to five-year implementation jobs. Here they are listed on the left, and just a graphic representation on the right to show you that they are, in fact, four-wide, not really in one particular area. So, if you're really down and you're going to be deeper into those, we'll use a quick look at each and every one. I'll start with the new DACIS area with an estimated cost of about $5 million. And that's where Customs and Border Control will be able to inspect containers in the new area. That contract happens to be right in the wheelhouse. It is a senior service. So, we can really perform that particular project under our contract. Moving along, we see four others realign with the Macintosh. New park, we're starting with that block page in the C. New blue terminal at 29. And the Northwest Extension in the Bird 29. All these projects do exceed the contract limits. However, we're ready and poised to participate in any kind of project or infrastructure improvements needed to facilitate the project. Just a few more on that list. In particular, I want to highlight the grading systems at the same farm from the new patrolling at the South to Spain, where again, those are within contract limits. So, we're happy to partake in the project at whatever level of port it is necessary. I do want to point out that the Salvation Board and the Salvation Board improvement project, which I'll detail a little bit later, was one of our Salvation Committee very successfully a couple of years back. And the size was really nice to do with that project. So, here you see a few more. The relocation of the breakable carbon versus 30E to 30E, and the extension of the 1415. Again, you need contact limits to wreck the wheelhouse, ready to go. And in general, and in the general road safety of the project does exceed the contract limits. However, I wanted to point out that we recently just wrapped up the CMA, I'm sorry, pedestrian route assessment and conceptual plan to the port, which ties in nicely with the reporting of that project. So, again, the number of opportunities to assist the port can do that really important project over here. And the lack of knowledge, the fire station upgrade, valley area facility, port main facility, two of these do not have an estimated cost of developers as yet. What I really wanted to point out, highlight, the CMA's been on so many fire stations for our county over the years, and so we'll look for opportunities to assist the port on the principal ground. So now that you know what the project details, I'll just kind of quickly mark one through what our approach to the CMA, what I've done successfully, we've pointed out at about 27 years or so. And that's really just a streamlined process. It really effectuates an effective handling of all our task orders throughout all our continuing service context, in particular with the port. It's working down five simple steps. First, the project initiation and planning, highly flattered effort for the port staff and stakeholders, through the execution of the work, and maintaining strict adherence to QAVC throughout the process. They can sort of monitor the process and the timeline associated with the work. And then, of course, a nice new load up. So the challenge of the port, of course, is maintaining an open and active operational environment for the Burns 24-7. And so our approach to handling that during our design and taking on any work that we're associated with it is really a phase of planning for development, making sure that our projects are designed to be designed to minimize construction, and to, of course, observe that close collaboration with operations, heads, and the like. I'll always keep the safety in mind and keeping our schedules flexible to be able to perform those off-work hours through the draws necessary at work. That's the main thing we really try to help even the latest technology, in particular the latest we're working with GISCAD and VIM. All while maintaining sustainable design, or incorporating sustainable design into all of our designs as much as possible to support . We maintain a robust quality service program with third-set and fourth-set device on all studies, planning, and designs, to ensure accuracy and compliance with all the core standards. So really, in summary, our team offers non-parallelable experience. We're totally welcome, as you pointed out earlier, and we have that proactive approach to managing and managing and making sure that we support every day's project service success across the board. But now I want to spend a couple of minutes just highlighting some of our past performance. Our clients have a lot of nice things to say about us and us and them. We take a great pride in having to accommodate those long-scanning relationships over many years who are working service. And really, this is an example of it. These are just some projects that we've worked on, this is graphic of it anyways, at the board over the last five years on this museum service contract. And I've got a few to highlight for you to give you the details on it. First is that they were accessing the control project on the Southbound 14 that I pointed out earlier. That included security fencing and gates with actuators and controls, new electrical and PCP equipment, preparing applications to structural barriers and concrete and asphalt pavement. It turned out really nice. You might be able to check that when you get a chance. Next was the Legma Copper inventory reporting that we completed last year. This was in response to an EVA executive order requiring identification and notification and elimination of lead and drinking water services. This involved locating approximately 400 water service lines throughout the port, which was done by way of CAD. After drawing softings were necessary to the port. Presentation. What happened to it? I have no idea what happened to it. I didn't put any buttons. There we go. Apologies. That was my error. Could you do this? Yeah, there you go. Thank you. That's okay. All right. So, the petroleum byproducts, including this target was in response to a violation of the judicial lottery for petroleum products on the Sanctuary sewer system. So, we sampled over 35 visitations and dismantled throughout the port in order to assess the concentration of petroleum products. This included, that's also a fingerprinting and really concluded in the background and finding recommendations for corrective actions, and the battle of the PISA to be delivered to the port on September 24th. So, there we go. The C-Corp building was an important one in which we identified some very serious erosion and some structural problems. On an emergency side basis, we could have developed a shore and a new deal plan for this construction. The C-Corp, you can see down at the right, how extensive the erosion was. We were able to get a tent back in March 2023. And then the last thing I do find, I pointed this out earlier, is the depth and route in September. This is basically just the intent of this list to provide the port with ADA to find safe pedestrian access throughout the port, including general route line. and that's to get passengers to the prop, your parking garage, and the terminals. That's highly successful and a wonderful problem to work out of. I'll turn that to you. Thank you, Greg. Why choose the general routine? Right now we understand. We're very local. I was born in Fort Lardo. I'm raising my family in Fort Lardo. I have the largest engineering business in Broward County, right here in Fort Lardo. We have ample resources. I couldn't even describe how lucky we are to have Moffitt, Nickel, and Justin Architects on the team. We know your contracts. We know that a lot of these are the smaller projects that are enabling projects to other things. We've worked on it for the last five years successfully. We know that our job is to make your life easier, to make Matt Arrow's life easier, to focus on life easier. It's our job. We want to work with you on this contract. This is an exciting contract for us. This is something that we really, really want to do. We are a great choice of work. We're a better choice now. I want to thank you for your time today. Broward County is our home. Greg, last slide. Broward County is our home. And we want to continue to work here. So thank you very much. Thank you for your presentation. Are there any questions from the evaluation committee members? We want to spend on this whole time. Please ask some more questions. Okay. Project Manager, do you have any questions? Okay. So we have no questions. So I think somebody had their mic on mute. If you could get your mic, please. Okay. The first presenter, Chan Moore and Associates, has now completed their presentation and answered all questions, which was none. Would Purchasing Staff, please invite the second presenter, Jamil and Partners, LLC, to join the closed portion of the meeting for their presentation. Thank you. Thank you. I see it. Coming from our side. Yeah. Okay. Jamil and Partners, LLC, thank you for joining. For the moment, could you please mute your mic. As your team joins the meeting, please review the meeting attendees and teams participants panel and review to ensure only your team members and county staff are in attendance. We are displaying on the screen the list of county staff in attendance. While you are reviewing the list of participants in the panel, please advise which member of your team should be designated as the presenter and teams to share their screen during your presentation. I'll be in the description. We'll use your copies. We'll give you copies. Okay. Daniel, could you please tell us who will be your presenter? Yeah. I'm not able to. Nancy Daniel. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing this wrong. Can you confirm that you can hear us? Yeah. I'm ready. I see. I see. I see. Louis, I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing this wrong. Can you confirm that you can hear us? Daniel, can you hear us? Daniel Ramos? Are you able to unmute the 357-9701 number? That's where our audio is coming from. Okay. So he did like a connector, a bridge. Okay. Okay. Can you unmute? I don't have anybody. I tried to do it from my computer. I won't allow it. Just a little bit in the spotlight. No, I can't. Let me unmute it here. Is that it? No. Because it's sound? That's the phone conference. Right. But you see this? Yeah. This is a system. And you're an organizer of the meeting? No. I can't. You should have. Because... So are you. I'm an organizer as well. I'm disabled. Well, that's what I have too. Why can't we... Understand? Okay. What was that? I don't understand. Can you hear us? Can somebody unmute? I'm mute. They can't hear us. Okay. Take the... Here you make it. I think you took the phone with him. You took the phone with him? The phone's not here. Call 5959. So that's the thing. That's why I can't look at the phone because it's not here. Some technical difficulties here, we'll be right back. Hey, Mike. We're down in 302. I'm having some audio issues here. It doesn't seem... I can't find the phone we're using as the connector for the audio. It's 97... 97. 9701. Correct. Yep. The issue is that we just have no audio feedback to our audience. So they cannot hear us. Okay. Is the array still red? Say it one more time. This is green. This is green. The microphone's red. They're green at this current time. Okay. Then I don't know what's going on, but turn off the... Is it being connected? The phone line... The... Excuse me. The phone line is in the lobby and it is connected. However, we are not able to... Okay. Because you need to... You have to... It's within your teams. You have to find it and admit it back into the... Back into the... Into the meeting. There. To admit... 9701 back into your meeting in order for you to hear audio. Uh... Well, sir, it's... 9701 is currently in the meeting right now. It is? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We should be hearing it. And that's... So we are trying to troubleshoot that, but it's not... Uh... No luck for us. I know. So what happened is... You have the cell phone. The cell phone's going up. Yes. Okay. I'm saying it wrong. Yes. And we're going to be the second presenter. So the second presenter is in the lobby right now. I don't think anybody here else? That's the... For us to... You should never... You should never pick out... 971 out of the lobby or out of the meeting. We have... Always keep in the meeting and turn and mute those. Well, obviously, it did something because it was working earlier. We also can't have as many echoes also because that's going to... Well, because somebody else in the room's got something up... It's open as well. That's the problem. Nothing's changed here. No one has to... I said on that phone here, right? On that phone? At all? Nope. Nope. And all lines muted here. I guess you guys muted... I guess you guys muted the computer. That's why. The computer has to be... The microphone... The speaker on the microphone on the computer has to be muted. I had it muted before I left. Someone talk from the far end. Yeah. Can they hear us at all? Can you hear us? Go check. Can anyone? Check. It looks like... It doesn't look like... I'm not seeing 971 in the meeting at all. In the annex? They're on the attendee list. We can do... Right here. I see them right here. It's muted. The microphone's muted. You have to unmute the... I see it right here. Can you hear us? Anyone? You guys need to go... You need to unmute... Unmute the... We can't. Won't let us. The 971 number is showing muted. Yeah. So I believe if you unmute that number, you will have feedback. Yeah. No, you shouldn't because I just connected... I just... I can't... I can't mute. I'm not the... Who's the meeting organizer? I am. Okay. The lights through the microphone? I can't unmute it. Yeah. It won't allow it. That means unmute. It says disable, pin, spotlight, and remove. Spotlight for you. Let me see what happened. No, no, no. Spotlight for everyone. Just remove from the meeting. I'll have to dial it back in. Removing. Mute the light array and then... Yeah. And now the 971 is out of the meeting, correct? Correct. Correct. Yes. Welcome to the audience to a conference... Followed by... If you're the meeting organizer, press star now. Please report your news. You're now doing the meeting. It's being reported and or transcribed. Go ahead. Try that. Okay. Can we have a mic check, please? Can anyone hear us? Okay, great. Thank you. Make sure that this computer stays muted. So the speaker needs to be muted. That's where you're getting feedback. And when you don't want anyone to hear you in the room, you want to make sure that that is muted. Yeah, that speaker's muted. That's why you were getting feedback earlier. Thank you. Yep. Thank you. All right. Thank you for your patience. Bramillo, Edgemill, and Partners, Inc. Let's reconfirm again whether or not... Nancy, please show them. We're going to post the county staff and we want you to verify. The participants in the room. So if you would... Give her a second to put it up. Great. So if you would review this in teams, the screen and for the county staff, as well as the participants panel, and let us know if there's anyone other than your team and county staff in attendance. If you're speaking, you're on mute. Who's the spokesperson? Edgemill? I have someone from Bramillo confirm there's no one in attendance other than your team and Broward County staff. All right. Could you try that volume up like you did before? Yes. We appreciate your patience while we're having these technical difficulties. I think you went to the... Yes. We said this. Yes. Okay. All right. Great. Yes. There's no additional participants. Okay. And we will identify who's going to be your participant, who's going to share the screen. We're going to give you five minutes to set up. The timekeeper will set the clock for five minutes. And you have five minutes for your set up time. Ready to go. Okay. You will have 15 minutes for your presentation. Timekeeper. All right. You're good to go. You may begin. I'm Amil. I'm Amil Partners. And for the sake of brevity and time that we have, we're going to scale right into the presentation. As you look to your consultant that you're going to have, I think it's really important that it has an understanding on the port business. And one of the things that BDA does, it has understanding on all aspects of the port business, planning through the hard operational and design of the entire facility. And that's really important because when you look at the paradigm for ports, particularly in South Florida, where we came from a paradigm that you build new stuff to grow, where you have land and water, now most of the Florida ports are in a landlock situation where they're built out. And now the plan is to be able to use, to do more of what you have, while at the same time beginning to regenerate or redo your infrastructure which has reached its maturity. Your master plan, and by the way we did our previous master plan, focuses on that. How to densify the cargo, how to create more equipment and so forth to be able to move more cars, more people through the facility and more energy. And that's an important component for any consultant to really understand that. You have asked for a consultant that can give you the range of experiences, the cruise cargo, marine infrastructure, runway, the entire thing, and we're going to focus on that in the presentation. First of all, BNA, our resources for maritime reside in South Florida. Between the Brown office and the Miami office, we have that. Every aspect of it. And this being the long-term contract, you will, in the past, you have called upon us to do very unique things that you needed done. And we're able to assist you, whether it's in planning, engineering, architecture, asset management, database, and so forth. We also bring to you, here at South Florida, a significant world experience. All of these dots that you see on the map are four projects that BNA has undertaken in the last several decades. And we've continued to do so. And we really started with what everything, in many ways. We've held this agreement for over 20 years, and we're very successful at it. And I think we feel very proud of the accomplishment that allowed us to do. It ranged from very small projects, so we laid some windows, to very large projects and significant projects. We also, you said, you hold any other types of contracts like this. And we hold them with many, many port authorities, ports, cities, cruise lines, cargo operators, throughout the United States and worldwide. And we're very proud of the success that we've had an excellent performance. Because we continue to work for the vast majority of it. And, in fact, I found this one letter that we had gotten to support everybody. It's a few years back when we delivered a series of four terminals for you that you were kind enough to write us a letter of recommendation. So, let's talk about the experience. I think nobody's going to bring you this wealth of experience. In cruise terminals, your five major cruise terminals, 25, 4, 18, and 2. And the four, we were responsible, we were the client company, and really changed the framework in terms of the design, how to handle the Oasis ship on Terminal 15, and how to handle the new Disney in Terminal 4. But nobody's going to bring you this kind of experience. East Coast ports, just some examples. West Coast ports, San Francisco, Seattle, international ports, all over the place in the cruise side. And, in particular, I want to show you the two last Galveston terminals. And because Galveston 16 was just delivered two weeks ago, that is a parking garage and terminal. And that was done by the person that we were proposing as your project manager, Rafael Flayton. In cargo, same. So, in new construction of cargo facilities, newer construction that we're planning, as well as rehab of existing ports and piers that now we're handling bigger ships, Terminal 3. Brand new piers, Tewa, your own extension of Slip 2 in Terminal 4. Bulkhead. The renovation of Terminal in Miami, so it could handle large ships by angling the berth, and being able to renovate the Terminal. Or New York, where it's over 150 year old terminals that are sitting in a month. And finally, nothing saves more about the full capability of the company, is that we're the prime company developing most of the out islands. And those out islands, yes, they're about experience, but they're also about the engineering. And that we did in-house, all of it. The berth, the freight waters, the back of house, all the utility systems. So, all of those experiences that people are clamoring around are packed by the capabilities of P&A. CEI, a significant amount of CEI, which you mentioned in your RFP, that you wanted, bridges and highways, mostly POP. Damage assessments after hurricane in particular. We developed a plan after Hurricane Andrew for Miami-Dade. There's the evaluation for Fort Miami. For Katrina, we did the reconstruction plan for New Orleans. New York Carnival asked us to do the reconstruction of Grand Cirque School Center. We were on the ground less than 24 hours after the hurricane passed. As well as we have the capabilities to send boats to you, you know, channel depth and so forth. So, we bring, along with our survey partners and others, a very, very sophisticated bit of the latest generations of geospatial tools that are really important and now cutting edge going forward, including ROV inspections of underwater facilities. And, finally, we wanted to know about Database, GIS, and our partnership with our firm has been acquired by Wilford, and Wilford is the leading company in the world in doing this. And, in fact, we are now doing a data GIS management for Florida Port, which they would like to advance. So, at the end of the day, it's about the team. Rafael Gleitas, who is proposing for your project manager. Rafael has been with BNA for over six years and has been working extensively on four projects, including at Port Everglades, for Galliston, for NFC. Rafael is based in our Broward office and lives across the street from Port Everglades. He can see Port Everglades from his house. So, Rafael, take it from there. Thank you, Luis. Good morning, Ron. So, you might ask, why VA, right? Again, we bring something really important to the table. We have in-house resources and planning, architecture, landscape architecture, civil engineering. Not many firms can say they have in-house marine engineering. We bring, you know, our own specifications department. And we work with specialized subs, such as Taylor Engineering, who's been working with the Port, you know, for many years. Next slide, Luis. So, again, we are a local firm. We're here in Fort Lauderdale. We have over 25 years of experience being local. And our key subs are Broward companies, which is, you know, it's important, you know, to make this team. We meet the CBE requirement, bringing 50% of, you know, our firms or our sub consultants at CBE. And these are teams that have previous work with Port Everglades, and it's a very cohesive team. Very, almost no learning curve and ready to hit the ground on day one. Next. So, again, you know, we have 25 years of experience, you know, working with Port Everglades. So, to our, you know, extensive group of our firms, you know, collective sub consultants. We've delivered over 300 successful projects from small to large scale to Port Everglades. Again, no, you know, no learning curve. Again, we're a part of Wofford now. We bring additional, you know, resources in GIS, asset management, and, again, working with specialized consultants to make sure that we deliver, you know, the project successfully to Port Everglades. Distribution of working point, right? We'll analyze as a contract, you know, our issue, making sure that these contracts are, you know, distributed to the right teams to make sure that, you know, we deliver and meet the needs of the Port. We will, as your project manager, we'll be, you know, delivering that and distributing and making sure that the CBE targets are hit for each of the contracts. Next. We will work closely with you all to make sure that, you know, we meet schedules. You know, we always deliver on time, on budget, working closely with support, and we will provide periodic updates to you as our client. Transparency is important, making sure that, you know, you are aware of everything that's going on through the deliverables and the milestones that they arrive. Next. Next. Again, we have our internal QAQC. Saul Suarez has been working with us for many years and has worked with Port Everglades. It's instrumental to, you know, to the QAQC process and making sure that, you know, we meet with the key stakeholders and collect the information and make sure that, you know, we deliver the project successfully. Next. Again, I will be a point of contact working with the Port, looking forward to that, and also making sure that, you know, again, transparency, the chain of command, and getting the information to our subs and back to the Port, you know, with a very clean and direct line of communication. So, again, we are an extension of Port Everglades. We've been there before. We would like to continue working with you all. And, again, we understand, you know, the importance of the Port needs and being a firm that resides in Brown County, but we have an excellent track record, and we'd like to continue that with you all. So, I'll turn it over to our Director of Marine Engineering, Daniel Ronalds. Daniel Ronalds. Thank you, Ralph. As part of this presentation, we were asked to discuss a little bit about VA's experience in seawall and birth improvement, along with bollard replacements and our experience in Morgan analysis. So, jumping right into our process, right, the seawall and birth improvement is a very important process to start with the condition assessment, especially for a port like Port Everglades, a legacy port that has existing infrastructure and in various states of deterioration or improved infrastructure. We really need to understand what condition it's in, and the VA team offers assets for both an ROV assets and team assets that can quickly and efficiently inspect the existing conditions. After that, we dive into our mooring analysis in the next slide, where we have the ability not just to develop a static evaluation, but also a dynamic evaluation of the mooring. And understanding, really, what are the capacities of those existing bollards and what are the mooring lines applying to the existing structure. In the next slide, you'll also see the importance of really understanding what the limitations are. Practicing these two channels, what are the dynamic effects, wind directions, all of that VA has internal, in-house experience delivering. In the arena for bollard improvements, we have all series of experience. On the upper left here, you have a simple replace and repair. This is P4, where we have a series of aging bollards where we replace them. That was very simple. We also have the experience of installing a whole new series of structures where we can provide heavy-duty, 200-ton, 150-ton bollards for the vessel's calling. On the right side of this thing, you'll see another improvement at P2, where Bermeo Ahamil designed a new bollard system to really improve the infrastructure and bring in larger vessels. All this work really goes into structural and geotechnical engineering. Because of the legacy status of Port Everglades, it's really important to understand what is in the ground. There's been ages of relocation construction that has extended the life of the structure. So we really need to dive into that geotechnical and structural evaluation. But that is not all. We also need to really complete an operational analysis to understand that the vessel's calling, whether it's crews or cargo or whatever that's what they call, it really is accepted in the operations work to not impede the new transfer of operations. And all of this work really goes into the implementation. So having that ability to construct efficiently in the field, we've shown that through many sites, port sites in our last slide, and then I'll turn it over to Roy. Unless you might want to unmute yourself. Let me just close. I think we're right on time. So one of the questions you asked is what's our workload and that we have the resources? Well, I can unequivocally tell you that we have the largest group in South Florida deal with ports than anybody, and that has allowed us to be able to manage our resources to meet your needs. In a continuing service contract like this, we obviously will work and stay ahead of you as that work is coming down the road so that we can allocate the resources. But we've never had the issue, and we have the resources to do it. And that's one of the advantages being here. And also the main differentiator, as I would say, you're hiring a company that understands ports and can lead any effort that you provide. And the carbon, and the creation of all. We're not subcontracting that out. We're subcontracting strategic elements that are needed to implement each one. So BNA will take the lead on responsibility for making sure that the right resources and the right ideas are being brought there in whatever project you provide to us. So at the end, I think we are very excited to have the opportunity to come back to Puerto Everglake and continue the work that we were doing for many, many years before. And we have basically a lot of the same people. We're still here and committed to make sure that we just don't meet your capital needs, but you meet your needs particularly. So we really want to become good partners to Puerto Everglake that we think we have over the years and bring in ideas, thoughts, and anything that you would do. With that, we conclude the presentation and are open for Q&A. Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. At this time, are there any questions from the evaluation committee? Do we have any questions from the project manager? All right. So there are no questions. So we will take this time to say thank you again, Bermela and Jameer and partners for your presentation. You may now read the closed portion of the month real quick. And we agree to it. So the agreement should not be an issue agreed to the one that he wanted to discuss. They wanted to discuss. We said we'll discuss it with. Just want to make sure. Appreciate it. Great. Thank you for that comment. Okay. Thank you for your comment. And this is noted. So again, thank you for your presentation. And if you, you'll be notified when to come back then to the public portion of the meeting. Thank you. County staff, would you please invite our final team in for their presentation? Two seconds. Two seconds. And the right. Okay. Chantmore and Associates Inc. Thank you for joining. One second. Okay. Namaste. VEA Architects Inc. Thank you for joining the meeting and your team. Members join. Please review the attendees. Can you mute your mics for a second? Chantmore saying, can you please? VEA, I'm so sorry. My brain is in mute. Excuse me. Yes. There's somebody in mute. There's something pop up on the screen. All right. Can you please confirm that all mics are muted if you're an attendee to this meeting? All right. VEA, could you please? Yes. Could you please mute your mic for a second? Now. VEA Architects Inc. Thank you for joining as all your members are in attendance. Please review the screen for the teams. Members to see county staff that's listed as well as the participants panel to see if there's anyone other than county staff or your team that's in attendance to this meeting. And while you're reviewing the teams, can you please let us know who's going to be the sharing the screen so we can give them access? I would be sharing. Can you verify that there is no other attendees outside of county on your team? We're reviewing that. Yeah, that's correct. Okay. Thank you. All right. You have five minutes for setup. Purchasing staff is at the time for five minutes. Let us know when you're ready. Yes. We can see your team. It's not in presentation mode, though. Can you see our PowerPoint screen? Yes. We should have a screen that says architectural engineering. consulting services report Everglades and the presentation number. I don't find your screen. Yes, thank you. I'm sorry. There's a background noise. I couldn't hear you. Yes. We see your screen. We're ready whenever you are. All righty. You will be given 15 minutes for your presentation. You may begin. My name is Bruno E. Reynolds. I'm principal and project manager for this assignment. I'm very happy and excited to be here to present our team. Our team team, the manager for this assignment. Very happy and excited to be here to present our team's credentials for Fort Everglades. BEA was founded over 30 years ago, and its practice is known as a Global Maritime Practice, right here out of South Florida. We have projects that are sought out throughout the US, Caribbean, Europe, and Asia, with over 200 years of combined experience, working with ports, shipping lines, and cruise lines. We currently have over 20 continuing contracts specifically with Fort Everglades, Fort Miami, Canaveral, and Dave Brown Municipality. We are known because of our experience and sought out throughout the world for our maritime and transportation design in passenger terminals, marinas, tiers, wards, jetties, et cetera. We have a diverse and local team of artificial engineer professionals that value and apply sustainable practices in state-of-the-art technology and industry knowledge to provide unique design solutions. And our team consists of TV-certified consultants with specific experience right here in Fort Everglades. As I mentioned prior, I've listed just a few of our qualifications here, many of which are right here in Fort Everglades at Port, and throughout the ports to the south and to the north, Port Miami, Port Canaveral. Starting with cruise terminal 29, all the way down to Fort Everglades cargo, annex terminal, Fort Everglades terminal for PET, for RTG operations, sea freight terminal, bid operations, min for cathodic protection, south port phase 9, also phase 9A and 9B, and some terminal King Ocean. Our proven approach in procuring construction documents and specifications have led to no claims on any of these projects, including the multitude of cruise terminals that are listed below. As I mentioned earlier, I will be lead and senior principal and project manager on this assignment. I'm an architect by training, and by profession, licensure. I also have extensive engineering training in a multitude of engineering fields, and I've been named as a fellow by the University of Florida Design, Construction, and Planning School, and recently inducted into the National Academy of Construction because of my expertise in architectural engineering and construction practice. I recently served as principal on phase 9A and 9B projects here at Fort Everglades, and been project manager for a lot of the tenant improvements for FIT, PET, MSC, Sea Freight, and King Ocean at Fort Everglades. Robert Draper has over 30 years of experience working at VBA specifically, handling cost estimating, design consultation, construction documents and specifications, and he is our in-house expert in authority of current jurisdiction, code compliance reviews, et cetera, and has extensive experience in working with cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Disney, NCL, and DCL. Sofia Ramos has over eight years of experience in working knowledge with the cruise industry, and as you can tell from our background, we seek out strong design professionals with engineering background. Having graduated from Virginia Polytech University, a very, very strong engineering background that Ms. Ramos has, and she's well versed in delivery methods including design criteria packages, design bills, design bid bills, see them at risk, just to name a few. The remainder of our team, and one of the things that you'll see in our team and how we arrange the team, is that the team is redundant in a lot of discipline. We did that purpose, and you'll hear more about that in our approach. For MEP, it's great. They also have structural capabilities, but their main role is MEP on this assignment. Civil engineering and land surveying is premier design solutions, highway, roadway, utility, D&I, and CD&I inspection. Marine transportation and traffic engineering is Bauman's consulting group. They are certified tobacco professional engineers for underwater inspection and certified dynamic mooring analysis engineers. Structural engineers, Lakas Johan, have specific experience on 150-ton high-wind ballards in Port Everly. Security and low-voltage experts, CSU Consulting, they're experts that we work with on every cruise facility project because they know the ins and outs of IT requirements, audio security, and CBP requirements for cruise terminals with regard to low-voltage in IT. Environmental science planning, Cumming-Sederberg, again, another PE with SubAquit certification, and mooring analysis background, also a CBP minority consultant. Geotechnical material testing, most of our work is done with United because of their expertise in material testing, geotechnical analysis in both land and marine structures, and assessment surveys with dikes and revetments. Cost estimating and scheduling, Gardner-Ruevold with specific port experience in scheduling and estimating. Landscape architecture, Laura Lorena, interior design by IA Interior Architects, and lighting design by HLB Lighting. Also in the presentation, I want to address a couple folks that are here as well as part of the BDA team that will be available for Q&A. Jose Lizarin with Graves, BJ, Andy, and Bill with Bauman, Estela Leon with Universal, Lactis with Lactis-Johan Engineering, Carolina Whitfield, Jeremy with Tissue, Dini Bird with Lighting Consultants, and Alex and Dennis Nelson with Gardner-Field. Our location, some of you may know our prior location, we've moved north, we're almost to the Dave Brower Vine, and right on I-95, we're 17 minutes from the port as we go to Fort Everglades regularly, and the majority of our team is split about 50-50 between the two counties. Our team's ability, and I've picked out a few projects here to share with you, and one of the things that I'd like to stress is that we are very, very keen to schedule and making sure we track every step of the way, projects along the way, from design to bidding, permitting, and construction. And so currently Phase 9B, we are on the tenant side right now for King Ocean, doing design build services for fully functional container storage yards. Some of you may have driven by and seen the USDA docks, the gatehouse entry, and office building that's about to come up. Phase 9A, FTC redevelopment, we did full architectural engineering services for developing that into a modern container yard facility. And as I mentioned, no claims. And so in that FTC yard, we were asked, Bergeron was the contractor. They filed a claim because of the potential delays with FDL and power service. We prepared this image, which I know is small on your screen, but it very successfully mitigated this issue and resolved it with Bergeron back in 2018 as part of our Fort Everglades contract. And every single contract, as I mentioned, goes through specific detailed surveys and detailed analysis with baseline and tracking of the schedule. Some of our comprehensive skills and our team's abilities, we have excellent relationships with the cruise line and established many of the amenities and features that are today taken for granted in the cruise industry and terminal planning, such as facial recognition, electronic check-in, traditional or remote, baggage sorting and screening, whether that's a traditional sorting and screening or the Sexton system, digital twins that we set up to do flow analysis through facilities for baggage, vehicles, and passengers, parking garages, and pay on entry, pay on exit, board, Sun Path, and E-Path ways to collect revenue, provisioning buildings, crew area, gangways, embark and debark ramps, which are now very, very popular in cruise terminals, both the embark and debark sequence to avoid passengers getting on escalators as much as possible, and pre and post security check-in. So we can check passengers in pre security and post security, depending on how the cruise line would like to take it. We have complete spin and revit experience. What I brought this particular project as an example is the Roadtown Pier in Tortola, for which we did an expansion of the pier to handle the new larger class NPL ships, as well as the conquest of the Royal Caribbean. We did the dynamic mooring analysis. The turning basement was expanded to 1,500 feet. And it would all use pre-cast technology. I'm going to play the video if you could just confirm that that's coming across to you. But we did three-dimensional surveys in the X, Y, and D sectors, and we had to fit the new piles in and around the existing piles that were there for the new deck expansion, lengthening, widening, and the mooring ballers, all done also in pre-cast components so that we can maximize the local labor and minimize the amount of maritime construction labor over the water. Were you able to see the video? Can you hear me? Yes. Yes, we saw it. Thank you. Our feasibility also, that was so successful. We were hired by St. John's Antigua to do the pier lengthening as well on that project. You have an image there. The mooring dolphins were also, they drove the piles, and the mooring and breastening dolphins were pre-cast components that were fit over the top of the piles and then poured in place. So they were all prepared there locally with local labor, land-based labor, instead of marine labor. Again, mooring line analysis and dynamic birthing analysis, which led to the fender designs, and I'll get to that in a minute, on how important it is for the dynamic analysis and mooring line analysis for your baller design, as well as for the fender design, because inverting that first initial impact is the most critical when the ships approach the dock or when they're leaving the dock and using it as leverage. Port Everglades RTG, this is the first of its kind, first RTG operation south of New Jersey that we designed and built for MFC and Port Everglades Terminal. You see three RTGs there, or actually four in that top picture. This also included phases two and three. We're currently working on phase two right now, as part of the MARED funding ground for 2026. And these are all pile-supported concrete rails for the RTGs that run completely east-west along these blocks. A lot of it was for the Chiquita refrigeration products here in Port Everglades, and some for the Lowe's in the back here. In regards to our chief staff experience in design and construction administration, we're not just maritime architects and engineers, we are construction managers as well. We understand the building practices and the port and maritime, and the port and maritime trade, and are able to deal with it on a regular basis. We've provided extensive, well, some of the top images, the mid-port cathodic protection for verse 16, 18, 29, and 28A, as well as Universal's experience down below for the dyke rehabilitation that they did for Herbert Hoover Dyke. Like I said earlier, there is extensive experience in assessment for structures in water structures, such as preventment in dykes, material testing, welding inspection, and quantity takeoff. Ability of our personnel, coming from Cedarburg, extensive experience up in the northeast, who is on our team, as well as Bauman. Like I mentioned earlier, both of these are overlapping and it was done on purpose, so the support has an opportunity to select the multitude, and we have an opportunity to do third-party peer reviews by independent firms. So Bauman, again, with extensive experience throughout Florida and the northeast, and Lactis, right here, our local Broward County firm, with specific 120, 150-ton wind mooring bollards experience for births 27 and 29. Again, some of the Bauman experience up in Boston for large mooring dolphins and mooring analysis that they did up at the Buckeye Burst, New Jersey Terminal, and Cummings experience, where they did it in Jacksonville for Pinkham Perry's shipyard and dry dock facility that was built there in Jacksonville. Yeah, VEA's experience with seawalls extends from cheap-file deadment systems to a deadment system, king-file system, and pavement design. All right, your time is complete. Thank you for your presentation. Committee members, are there any questions from any of the EC members? Sorry, any questions? How many slides were missing? Could you tell us how many slides did you, if you were not able to present? Do you want to ask any questions about any missing materials? Of the six listed slides, Michael Goodman, of the six slides, can you just briefly go over the title of each slide just to know that we're missing? Okay, state your name for the record, then. Cesar Galliano, presentation, no part of the question. Okay, project manager, any questions? All right, B and A, BEA, we would like to thank you for your presentation. And this concludes all the vendor presentations. EC member, would you like a recess? Thank you. We will take a recess now, 10 minutes, 15 minutes? Okay. We're going to take a 10-minute recess. The time is now 11.32, and we are in recess. It's still Mike. You know Mike. Go to recess. You're going to be back though. We are currently in recess, and after recess, we will proceed to scoring and ranking. Invite the phone for me. All right, we're going to do a, we're back here on recess. The time is now 11.42 a.m., and I'll just get a mic to make sure that everyone can hear us. Purchasing has invited all the vendors and members of the public back into the open portion of this meeting. The next order of business, could you please make sure that your microphones are muted? The next order of business is the scoring of the vendors. The score sheets that have been distributed, will be distributed to the EC members. The score sheet includes the sign points for location, willingness to meet time and budget, and volume of previous work, which are applied based on specific criteria stated in the solicitation. When all evaluation committee members have completed and submitted their score sheets, I will recess the meeting to provide time to tabulate the results. Committee members, are there any questions? At this time, committee members will begin scoring. Purchasing will notify me when they have received all score sheets and are ready for them to be tabulated. Score sheets have been received. We will now take a recess to tabulate the results. The time is 1148 a.m. I would like to reconvene the meeting. The time is now 1155 a.m. Before the results are announced, I would like to thank all the vendors for their participation in the solicitation process. We appreciate your time and interest in working with Broward County. Purchasing, please announce the scores and rank. First, BEA Architects, 256 points. From Melo Aljamal and Partners, LLC, 264 points. Chenmore and Associates, Inc., 287 points. The first-ranked vendor is Chenmore and Associates, Inc. The second-ranked vendor is Bromelo Aljamal and Partners, LLC. And third-ranked is BEA Architects, Inc. Thank you. Thank you. The next order of business is the acceptance of the scoring and ranking. May I have a motion to accept the evaluation committee's results and recommendation of ranking for approval? Aye. Michael Goodman would like to make a motion to accept the evaluation results. I second it. Bowling Schwartz. Thank you. All in favor say aye. Aye. No opposed. The motion passes unanimously. The evaluation committee's recommendation will be posted on the Purchasing Division's website for three days as a proposed recommendation of ranking. Following this three-day period, if no objections to the proposed rankings 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's timely object or protest, the ranking shall be final, provided that no commissioner objects within five business days after receiving notice from Purchasing Division of the final ranking. Once a ranking is deemed final, the county shall commence contract negotiation with the number one ranked vendor. As a reminder, all information reviewed by the evaluation committee is posted on the Purchasing Division's website, repository, including the closed portion of this meeting. Committee members, is there any other business that needs to be discussed? Thank you. Seeing none. Again, I would like to thank all the vendors that responded in their presentations for today. Thank you also to the evaluation committee members for your participation. Hope you all have a great holiday. The final evaluation committee is adjourned. The time is now 11.58 a.m.
