Questions
Small Business Registration
Contact: Anthony Kilburn
Email: akilburn@tidalbasin.rphc.com
How long does it take to get a small business registered with the City?

Incumbent

Is there an incumbent providing these services to the City of West Palm Beach? If so, who is it?

Small Business Requirements

Page 2, Section 4, Item 8 states “Small Business 15% Goal: Proposal includes a commitment to meet or exceed the established small business goal of 15% of total contract value. However, on page 5, Section 4, the city outlines a “minimum Small Business goal has been set in the amount of fifteen percent (15%) of the total contract value for the RFP.” Are Proposers required to subcontract 15% of the contract value to registered Small Businesses in West Palm Beach before work begins or are we only committing to meet or exceed the 15% goal? Additionally, if a Proposer cannot meet this requirement despite following its submitted Small Business plan how does that effect being selected for this contract?

2. The City has outlined 11 evaluation factors starting on page 3 of 45 of the RFP but there are no values (percentages) associated with the individual factors. Will the evaluation factors be given a value on how they weigh against the other factors?

Technical Approach
Contact: Gregg Medley
Email: gregg.medley@hagertyconsulting.com
Is the City seeking a detailed Technical Approach to Services proposal section that aligns to the elements given in the scope of work? We noticed that there is not a place where that is requested in Section 5, Proposal Formatting - only expertise and experience.
