SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Appointment of Design Professional for Roof Replacement at
Chamberlain High School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project provides for replacement of the existing roof and skylights at Chamberlain High School. Appointment of a qualified architect or engineer is required to provide design services.

Florida Statutes and School Board policy outline the process and requirements for selection of architects, engineers, and construction managers. Attachment A summarizes the process. The process provides for the identification of the most highly qualified firms for the required service by a Professional Services Selection Committee that includes representatives from several District divisions and the community. Attachment C identifies the specific committee members participating in this selection and the organization represented by each.

A total of nineteen firms responded to the solicitation included at Attachment B. Attachments D and E record the results of the Committee's evaluation of these firms at each phase of the process.

Staff has successfully concluded negotiations with the firm deemed most highly qualified by the Selection Committee to provide the required services. Based on the Selection Committee ranking and successful negotiations, staff recommends appointment of Harvard Jolly, Inc. for the provision of design services for the Chamberlain High School Roof Replacement, for a fixed fee of $82,896.
