This document is a Brevard County Selection Committee Consolidated Evaluation Scoresheet for RFP-4-25-04, involving Non-Motorized Eco Tours - Restricted Use Permits. The RFP seeks qualified contractors to provide eco watercraft tour concessions at Manatee Cove Park and Kelly Park East in Merritt Island, Florida. The solicitation covers seven-day-a-week guided eco-tours using non-motorized watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, with maximum capacities of 20 watercraft at Manatee Cove Park and 30 watercraft at Kelly Park East. The contract is intended to be effective for two years with potential extensions up to five years, with a proposal submission deadline of April 9, 2025, and a selection committee meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025.

Five contractors submitted proposals: A Day Away Adventure LLC, Brady-Yaks Tours and Rentals LLC, BK Adventure LLC, Calypso Kayaking LLC, and Sunny Nights Kayak Tours. The evaluation process utilized a scoring system across multiple committee members, with total points and rankings calculated for each location. The minimum annual user fee is $3,600 per location, and the county reserves the right to award contracts to multiple providers, limiting each location to two unique contractors. Contractors must meet requirements including background screenings, $1,000,000 liability insurance, patron waivers, and compliance with environmental guidelines. The selection committee unanimously voted to award contracts to the two highest-ranked vendors per park location, with a contingency plan to move to the next highest-ranked vendor if the initial awardee cannot fulfill the commitment.
