SUBJECT:

Update on the Request for Proposals No. 2019-003 Redevelopment of the Former H.D. King Plant Site to include approval of adjusted schedule and identification of technical consultants.

SUMMARY:

The City of Fort Pierce and Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) embarked upon a two-phase solicitation process -- Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) -- for the redevelopment of the former H.D. King Plant Site located at 311 Indian River Drive.
On November 14, 2018 the City of Fort Pierce and Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency entered the first phase of the bid process by issuing a Request for Qualifications. Five responses were received by the deadline of January 23, 2019.
At the Special FPRA Board Meeting on February 11, 2019, the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency Board selected a shortlist to enter in the Request for Proposals phase. The RFP was issued on February 15, 2019 to the shortlist consisting of: Audubon Development, BH3 Management, Marina View Partners Holding, and Virgin Trains USA. BH3 Management and Marina View Partners have since withdrawn from the process.
The submission deadline for sealed proposals has been extended from April 17, 2019 to May 1, 2019 at 3:00 PM.
City staff has identified several technical consultants to assist the evaluation committee (FPRA Board) in the analysis of the proposals. The following firms will serve as technical consultants in their respective field:
  • Engineering – Cardno
  • Planning – S&ME
