Building department services

The City of Dania Beach, located in Broward County, Florida, is seeking proposals through RFP 24-027 for comprehensive Building Department Services to supplement the Community Development Department's Building Division. The procurement targets qualified firms capable of providing supplemental services including plans examination, building inspections, administrative duties related to Florida Building Code enforcement, and electronic plan review services. Specific deliverables encompass implementing and enforcing county, state, and federal regulations, with a preference for Electronic Plan Review (EPR) software integration using Bluebeam. Additional required services include post-disaster support, emergency operations center staffing, unsafe structure board assistance, building assessments, and ADA coordination. The proposal evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring system, with points distributed across firm qualifications (30 points), relevant experience (25 points), approach (20 points), cost proposal (15 points), and references (10 points). Proposals must be submitted electronically via https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/daniabeachfl by November 8, 2024, at 10:00 am, with the city reserving the right to award to the most responsible and responsive lowest-price proposer.

The contract requires the selected firm to function as an independent contractor, with assigned individuals subject to city approval but not considered city employees. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The initial contract term is three years, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year terms. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the RFP indicates a preference for technological compatibility, specifically noting EPR software integration with existing Bluebeam software. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including qualifications statements, insurance certificates, and non-collusion affidavits. The contractor will be required to maintain specific insurance coverages, including comprehensive general liability, workers' compensation, and automobile liability insurance with prescribed coverage limits. Although a precise budget range was not specified, the detailed requirements suggest a substantial and complex service procurement focused on comprehensive building department support.
