AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of task order with KCI Technologies, Inc. (formerly
known as Keith & Schnars, P.A.) under the On Call Consulting Contract for Construction
Engineering and Inspection (CEI) Services associated with the Community Aesthetic Feature - Big
Pine Key entrance signs project in the amount of$6,930.00.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
At the July 2016 BOCC meeting, engineering staff was given direction to reach out and work with
the Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce (LKCC) pertaining to their request for welcome signs to be
fabricated and installed on Big Pine Key. This type of signage project is part of the FDOT's
Landscape and Community Aesthetic Features (CAF)program. Staff utilized the On Call Consulting
Contract with Keith & Schnars (K&S) consultants (which has been assigned to KCI Technologies,
Inc. (KCI): companion agenda Item 5401, for the design of this project because they have extensive
experience in the Community Aesthetic Feature process with FDOT. K&S worked with the LKCC
on their requested design and the 100% sign plans and specifications were submitted to and
approved by FDOT along with the County executed CAF agreement and required exhibits. The
LKCC is contributing a total of$15,000 to this sign fabrication and installation project.
Due to K&S's extensive knowledge (those personnel transitioned to KCI) of the CAF process with
FDOT, staff is requesting to utilize them for the Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI)
Services for the project. Pursuant to Monroe County Purchasing Policy Chapter 4, Article C:
Continuing Contracts 5. b) "If a project requires a particular skill set or expertise which in the
discretion of the County Administrator or his designee, is more suitable to a contractor who is not
next ranked in the order of rotation, the County Administrator may award the project regardless of
rank order." Additionally, pursuant to Article 7, "The County Administrator shall seek approval and
shall provide an explanation to the Board of County Commissioners when a contract or task order is
to be awarded out of the ranked order of rotation."
The project was advertised for construction bids on November 1, 2018, however, no bids were
received on December 4, 2018. The project was rebid on February 4, 2019 with 2 bids received on
March 7, 2019. The fabrication and installation construction contract award is a companion agenda
