5-Evaluation and Selection Committee Evaluation Overview.pdf

This is an Evaluation and Selection Committee Evaluation Overview document for the Town of Palm Beach, Florida's Request for Proposals for impact and mobility fee consulting services. The Town seeks qualified firms to provide impact fee studies on an as-needed, continuing basis to ensure that new developments pay proportionate shares of capital facility costs in compliance with Florida law and case law. The solicitation requires proposals to demonstrate how consultants will ensure fees are defensible, transparent, legally compliant, and aligned with the Town's growth, infrastructure, and fiscal plans. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged as the only forum for direct clarification from the Project Manager and Town staff. Award will be made to the proposer offering the best value to the Town, and proposers may not withdraw their proposals for 180 days from the submission deadline.

The evaluation process involves an Evaluation and Selection Committee that will assess proposals based on criteria including consultant qualifications, experience with impact fee studies, understanding of Florida statutory and case law requirements, proposed methodology, and ability to deliver defensible and compliant fee analyses. The committee will consider the firm's capacity to work on a continuing, as-needed basis and their understanding of the Town's specific growth patterns and infrastructure needs. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, waive non-material irregularities, and re-advertise for all or part of the solicitation as deemed in its best interest. Proposals must be submitted online through Euna, the Town's eProcurement platform.
