BUOK Ji iJ F'AuE 53 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On March 9, 2000, the Purchasing Division mailed solicitations to forty six architectural firm <br />requesting their interest and qualification for improvements and expansion to the Sheriff's <br />evidence storage space, a project budgeted at $250,000. Advertisements were also made in the <br />newspaper on March 9th and March 16th. The deadline for submittals was March 29, 2000. <br />Only one response was received from a firm, Dow Howell Gilmore Associates, Inc. In order to <br />have some degree of competitive negotiations, it is desirable to have more than one and <br />hopefully three respondents. I am of the opinion that the County should reject the response by <br />Dow Howell Gilmore and Associates regretfully since it is the only response and re -solicit <br />RFQ's hopefully to gain additional responders. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Refect the current response and authorize staff to re -advertise the request for qualifications. <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously rejected the <br />sole bid and authorized staff to re -advertise the request for <br />qualifications, as recommended in the memorandum. <br />11.C.2. EXCHANGE CLUB'S REQUEST TO USE COURTHOUSE <br />PARING GARAGE FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 29, 2000: <br />Date: March 29, 2000 <br />To: Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />Through: James E Chandler, County Administrator <br />From: Thomas W. Frame, Director, Department of General Services /Yw-< (IJ • (JA` <br />Subject: Exchange Club Request to Use Parking Garage for Music Festival <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Last November, the Exchange Club of Indian River held a jazz festival on top of the parking garage across <br />from the courthouse. They complied with all safety requests, cleanup and indemnification requests of the <br />County. They are requesting again to use the facility, including sale of alcoholic beverages, on November <br />4, 2000, from 3:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. The only difference for this coming use is a different orientation <br />for stage, placing the food vendors on the west side and having artists on the ramp between second level <br />and the top floor. <br />Apri111, 2000 <br />50 <br />
