About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document from the City of Dania Beach Parks and Recreation Department for Architectural Acoustic Consulting Services. The document requests procurement of consulting services for the I.T. Parker Community Center from Edward Dugger + Associates, P.A. The scope includes architectural acoustic consulting for the main hall, involving site visits, measurements, and a construction bidding report. Specific tasks include meeting with Dania Beach community room acoustic study members, reviewing architectural plans, assessing space configurations, developing acoustic environment recommendations, and providing guidance on sound reduction strategies.
The total cost estimate for these services is $8,400.00, and the department has determined this to be a sole source procurement after reaching out to multiple vendors without success. The justification indicates that Edward Dugger + Associates is an industry leader in architectural acoustic consulting, and other vendors cannot provide the necessary reporting and construction-ready documentation. The department believes the pricing is fair and reasonable, based on the vendor's research, data, analytics, and metrics. The document is prepared by Franky Lazo from the Parks and Recreation Department and includes signatures from the requestor and department director Cassi Waren, with spaces for additional approvals from the Finance Director and City Manager.

| Description of products services or both intended for purchase: The consultant shall provide Architectural Acoustic Consulting Services for I.T. Parker Community Center (main hall). To include site visit with measurements and a ready for construction bidding report. Architectural Acoustics: 1. Meet with the design team members to confirm elements of the Architectural Program which are important to the acoustic success of the Dania Beach Community Room Acoustic Study. 2. Review architectural plans, space descriptions, functional specifications, and other documentation to assess acoustical aspects of the design. 3. Develop design approaches for the acoustic environment. This shall include room configurations; area, volume and proportions; wall and ceiling shaping; and reverberation and sound reflection criteria.4. Prepare a report with our recommendations on how to improve the acoustic build up of sound with several approaches to improve the situation 5. Answer questions concerning our study. |
| Purpose describe in detail the public purpose of requested items: I.T. Parker Community Center was recently renovated and the facility is being highly used. With the increase of usage we have noticed that the sound has become an issue. This has presented problems for special events and for programs that occur in the main hall. This service will assist us in discovering the proper recommendations and solutions to fix the problems at hand. |
| Justification describe the criteria that qualifies this purchase as a sole or single source: Architectural Acoustic Consulting Services is a very limited service. We have reached out to multiple vendors and have done our research but have been unsuccessful in getting what is needed. We have been advise that Edward Dugger + Associates is an industry leader in these services and one that can provide the services needed. |
| Explain how this pricing compares to other vendorsproducts and how it is considered to be fair and reasonable: We have reached out to other vendors and they have informed us that they do not do the reporting aspect, which will give us construction ready bid documents. Unlike Edward Dugger + Associates, the other companies would be able to install acoustic panels but it will be based on their best estimated guess and not backed by research, data, analytics and metrics. Pricing seems fair and reasonable for the services provided. |
