Hence, qualification proposals should be initially submitted on the most complete and favorable terms which Proposers are capable of offering to the district. Evaluation Points shall be assigned to each proposer by each member of the EC. The highest-ranked firms may then be short-listed and may be asked to provide oral presentations.
The weighted scoring criteria shall serve as the final determination of rank, and the highest ranked firm(s) will be awarded for each category herein.

The District shall not request documentation of or consider a proposer's social, political, or ideological interests when determining if the proposer is a responsible vendor, nor will the selection committee or District Board of Supervisors give preference to a vendor based on the proposer's social, political, or ideological interests.

The table below provides factors for each of the scoring criteria:

Scoring for Price/Fee Structure
Lowest Cost Proposal divided by Proposer “X” Cost Proposal times maximum available cost points = Proposer “X” Cost Score
Example: Firm “A” cost proposal is $10,000 and is the lowest cost proposal Firm “B” cost proposal is $15,000
Firm “C” cost proposal is $20,000

Cost Points Available: 35

Calculation: Firm “A”: Lowest price and receives 35 points
Firm “B”: ($10,000)/($15,000) X 35 points = 23.3 points Firm “C”: ($10,000)/ ($20,000) X 35 points = 17.5 points

Pursuant to Resolution 2018-20 Section 1(1.03) Services, In the event of tied bidders for services, the District Board of Supervisors may determine to reject the bids or divide the award for services equally if the services are divisible. If the services are not divisible but will be recurring, the Board may reject the bids or rotate the service award between the tied service providers.
The District shall not request documentation of or consider a proposer's social, political, or ideological interests when determining if the proposer is a responsible vendor, nor will the selection committee or District Board of Supervisors give preference to a vendor based on the proposer's social, political, or ideological interests.

Section 4.0 – Scope of Services
Statement of Purpose
The Coral Springs Improvement District (CSID) is seeking qualifications from firms provide protection for five (5) lift stations in Coral Springs, Broward County, Florida HMGP project as approved  by  the  Florida  Division  of  Emergency  Management  (Division)  and  the

Federal	Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The project is for the purchase and

installation of an emergency system to reduce and/or mitigate the damage that might otherwise

occur from severe weather or other hazards. Please review Schedule E - Design Criteria Package - as it contains the full and complete scope of services.
4.1 General
As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project, the consultant shall provide backup power to the lift stations LS 04, LS 14, LS 29, LS 30, and LS 42, located in Coral Springs, Florida 33071.
The HMGP project shall provide protection by purchasing and installing five (5) permanent diesel generators with a capacity of 80 kW, or the adequate size determined by the vendor and an electrical engineer during the bid process to appropriately support the critical utility. The project includes constructing concrete pads, installing automatic transfer switches (ATS), upgrading the existing SCADA System, and electrical connections. None of these lift stations have a fixed backup emergency power; an interruption in the electric power supply would result in sewer overflow. Many of these lift stations are located adjacent to canals or surface water bodies near residential neighborhoods. If an overflow at these stations occurs, the potential for water contamination is significant. The project shall allow the district to maintain the lift stations operational during power outages.
The generator(s) shall be protected against a 500-year flood event by implementing specific activities or by locating the generator(s) outside the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), comply with applicable National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements and shall be protected against wind with a rated enclosure and appropriate anchoring based on its location requirements per ASCE 7 standards. The selected site shall provide sufficient space to maintain and fuel the generator(s) and shall comply with the National Electrical Code working clearance requirements. Activities shall be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local applicable Rules and Regulations.

Scope of Services

Purpose

The Coral Springs Improvement District (CSID) is seeking qualifications from firms provide protection for five (5) lift stations in Coral Springs, Broward County, Florida HMGP project as approved by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (Division) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The project is for the purchase and installation of an emergency system to reduce and/or mitigate the damage that might otherwise occur from severe weather or other hazards.

Description of Work

As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project, the consultant shall provide backup power to the lift stations LS 04, LS 14, LS 29, LS 30, and LS 42, located in Coral Springs, Florida 33071.
The HMGP project shall provide protection by purchasing and installing five (5) permanent diesel generators with a capacity of 80 kW, or the adequate size determined by the vendor and an electrical engineer during the bid process to appropriately support the critical utility. The project includes constructing concrete pads, installing automatic transfer switches (ATS), upgrading the existing SCADA System, and electrical connections. None of these lift stations have a fixed backup emergency power; an interruption in the electric power supply would result in sewer overflow. Many of these lift stations are located adjacent to canals or surface water bodies near residential neighborhoods. If an overflow at these stations occurs, the potential for water contamination is significant. The project shall allow the district to maintain the lift stations operational during power outages.
The generator(s) shall be protected against a 500-year flood event by implementing specific activities or by locating the generator(s) outside the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), comply with applicable National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements and shall be protected against wind with a rated enclosure and appropriate anchoring based on its location requirements per ASCE 7 standards. The selected site shall provide sufficient space to maintain and fuel the generator(s) and shall comply with the National Electrical Code working clearance requirements. Activities shall be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local applicable Rules and Regulations. Please review Schedule E - Design Criteria Package - as it contains the full and complete scope of services.
