SUMMARY:
On May 1, 2024 the City of Edgewater issued a Request for Proposals (RFP 24-ES-09) with the sole purpose and intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified firms offering to provide Arborist Services in accordance with the specifications stated.
This Solicitation was broadcast via the City’s E-Procurement Platform, as well as via DemandStar, and the State of Florida DMS, Office of Supplier Diversity site and was posted in City Hall.
On June 12, 2024, submittals were received from two firms and both were deemed responsive and responsible.
On June 26, 2024, the Evaluation Committee met and reviewed the submittals and turned in their evaluation sheets through the E-Procurement Platform. Based on the published evaluation criteria, the firms were ranked as follows:
Rank Firm
1. YBE Consulting, Inc.
2. Chen Moore and Associates
The Committee determined that it would be in the best interest of the city to have multiple firms available and as both proposals were from responsive and responsive firms, so no oral presentations were sought. The Evaluation Committee recommends that Council award contracts to the both firms: YBE Consulting, Inc., and Chen Moore and Associates. Engagement of firms will be on an as needed basis and based on the City’s needs with consideration to submitted pricing, and the firm’s availability and capabilities.
