Shortlist_Scores_-_Jim_Garrison_RFQ_24-11.pdf

These are Shortlist Evaluation Forms from the Tampa Sports Authority (Hillsborough) for RFQ 24-11, seeking Architectural Design, Review and Administration Services for Amateur Sports Venues. Five firms submitted proposals - Beck, PBK, Osports, WJ Architects, and HOK - and were evaluated on six key criteria: Stability and Staff Resources, Experience/Qualifications, Suitability of Proposed Staff, Project Team Capability, Past Performance, and Local Knowledge of Development and Permitting. Each firm was scored out of 100 possible points, with an additional 5 bonus points available for minority/disadvantaged/women-owned business participation.

The scoring was relatively consistent across firms, with total points ranging from 77 to 98. All firms committed to subcontracting a minimum of 10% of ultimate fees to certified disadvantaged businesses. The evaluation was conducted by Jim Garrison on 6/3/25, with a clear instruction not to discuss the scores with other committee members or unauthorized advisors until the Final Ranking is officially released. The documents suggest a competitive selection process for architectural services, with nuanced evaluation of each firm's capabilities and potential contributions to amateur sports venue development in the Tampa area.
