They are: <br /> <br />O'Leary Richards Design Associates, Inc. <br />Calvin Giordano & Associates, Inc. <br />EDAW, Inc. <br /> <br />$33,940.00 <br />$14,500.00 <br />$39,700.00 <br /> <br />Staff reviewed these proposals and were unanimous in the selection of O'Leary Richards <br />Design Association, Inc., on an hourly basis with a not-to-exceed cap of $33,940.00. Though <br />they did not offer the lowest priced proposal, it was felt that they offered the best value, <br />based on their previous experience with similar projects. In fact, they were the only <br />respondent to provide a list of similar projects completed and their respective contacts, as <br />required in the RFP. Their proposal also reflects what staff feels is a more accurate <br />understanding of the project. O'Leary Richards Design Associates, Inc has also had <br />preliminary discussions with FDOT to determine the requirements for a successful grant <br /> <br />Agenda Item , 0 G- <br />~-Iq-Of <br /> <br />Date <br />
