For the Board's approval, attached to this report is a draft Services Consultant Agreement with Atelier AEC, Inc. for Atelier to provide architectural oversight and to construct the Phase IIA dock improvements in accordance with the referenced FIND Project Agreement. ANALYSIS The overall dock restoration, as designed by Atelier AEC under its previous contract with the County, entails reconstruction of the existing dock, adding a floating dock and kayak landing, and constructing four boat slips at the terminus of the dock. Based on the amount of available FIND funding under the FIND grant award, however,the scope of this"first phase"of restoration does not include the planned addition of a floating dock and kayak landing. Notwithstanding, the phased scope allows progress towards overall restoration of the historic Archie Smith Fish House site, which is planned to be funded incrementally over time with the current FIND grant and with future grants. The initial review and design of the Archie Smith Fish House site dock and overall site renovation was awarded to Atelier AEC in accordance with F.S. 287.055 (CCNA) procedures and RFQ 2014020. That initial design work has been completed and the term of the original design contract with Atelier AEC has since expired. Due to their history with and connection to the project,staff believes that Atelier AEC is best suited to provide the architectural modifications to the dock design, as well as architectural oversight and construction of the Phase IIA dock restoration project. The architectural services fee of$18,200 and the total project construction cost of$200,000 both fall below the $35,000 professional services threshold and $325,000 project construction cost threshold which would necessitate procurement of these services under CCNA bid procedures. Since the Phase IIA dock renovation costs fall below the referenced CCNA thresholds, and Atelier AEC is familiar with the project and was involved with the overall site restoration design, staff recommends that the Board waive the requirement for bids and authorize staff to finalize the attached agreement with Atelier AEC. Fundin Since the Phase IIA dock restoration work under the FIND Project Agreement will result in boating improvements,the County's Florida Boating Improvement Fund was identified as the County's appropriate funding source when the County approved the FIND Project Agreement. The Boating Improvement Fund is the appropriate funding source for the estimated $100,000 County cost-share match for the work under the proposed Services Consultant Agreement with Atelier AEC.Funding is budgeted in the Florida Boating Improvement Fund/Parks/Archie Smith Fish House Restoration-Acct# 13321072-066510-14004. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to finalize the attached draft Services Consultant Agreement with Atelier AEC, Inc. for architectural oversight and construction of "Phase IIA" dock restoration at the Archie Smith Fish House as described herein, with county cost-share funding for the work to be funded with Florida Boating Improvements Funds.
