Re: Single Source provider for Construction Support Services for Gregg Hall dormitory project

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR BIDS. IT IS A "NOTICE OF INTENDED DECISION TO ENTER INTO A SINGLE SOURCE CONTRACT" WHICH IS POSTED PURSUANT TO §287.057(3),F.S. §120.57(3),F.S., AND RULE 60A-1.045,F.A.C. BE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE ADVERTISEMENT BEFORE CONTACTING THE AGENCY WITH BID RELATED QUESTIONS.

Performance and/or Design Requirements:

Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is in need of construction support services for the Gregg Hall building project for FY 2023-2024

Estimated Dollar Amount Not-to-Exceed: $160,000.00 Intended source:

CPH Consulting, LLC dba CPH, LLC 500 West Fulton Street Sanford, FL 32771

Justification for single source acquisition:

CPH Consulting, LLC, was procured to provide the Owner’s Program Requirements for the Gregg Hall building project on the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind Campus. They have created the design criteria package for the project and, as part of the services with that package, are providing construction support services as the owner’s representative with the construction management company. The building is currently under construction with a completion date scheduled for the summer of 2024. The existing contract with CPH is expiring with no additional renewals or extensions. The construction support services being sought will be a continuation of the design criteria package services which have not been completed due to the construction timeline and the expiration of the current contract. Soliciting for another firm to complete the construction support services will cause a delay in the construction completion, exceed project budget, and will not provide the best value to the State of Florida. CPH is the only firm who will provide the services to be in conformance with their authored design criteria package, keep within the overall project budget, and no delay in the project completion deadline.
