Title
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARGATE, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TOP RANKED FIRM, MBR CONSTRUCTION, INC.; PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) 2025-010 - DESIGN/BUILD FOR CENTENNIAL PARK REDEVELOPMENT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND:
Staff advertised Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2025-010 - Design/Build for Centennial Park Redevelopment on August 18, 2025. This solicitation was a follow-up and replacement solicitation to Bid No. 2022-001 that was previously rejected by the Commission at the recommendation of Staff because all responses to that bid came in over budget. The new design/build RFQ provides for a reduced project scope for the park that should better align with the public input provided by residents. Additionally, the new RFQ is expected to provide for a more cost-effective park redevelopment.
Two responses to the RFQ were received and subsequently opened on September 18, 2025. A committee was formed to evaluate the submissions and rank the firms. The committee’s rankings are shown below.
FIRM TOTAL POINTS
MBR Construction, Inc. 470
Recreational Design & Construction, Inc. 427
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Administration to negotiate a fixed-price design/build solution Agreement with the top ranked firm and return the negotiated Agreement to the Commission for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: None until a successful Agreement is negotiated and award of an Agreement has been approved.
