Loading...
Summary
Staff told the FPRA committee that Journey C and D Group was the sole qualified respondent to a modular home RFQ and recommended forwarding the qualification to the FDRA board; the committee voted by voice to recommend the award and staff said $200,000 has been set aside for the initial phase.
Staff presented the evaluation of a request for qualifications (RFQ) to identify a modular home contractor and recommended the committee recommend the firm to the FDRA board.
According to staff, Journey C and D Group was the only submittal and scored 261 out of a possible 300 points across criteria including executive summary (10), qualifications (25), personnel (30), and services/past projects (35). Staff noted the firm has modular‑home experience and ongoing projects for other jurisdictions, including Hallandale Beach and Miami Gardens.
The committee asked questions about licensing, financing options for prospective buyers, and whether the pilot would sit on specific lots. Staff said the pilot lot under consideration is 321 North 13th Street and that the city set aside $200,000 for this portion of the project; staff will negotiate specific design and delivery terms if the FDRA board approves the qualification.
A member moved to recommend awarding the RFQ qualification to Journey C and D Group; another member seconded and the committee approved by voice vote (aye). The staff presentation and committee recommendation will be forwarded to the FDRA board for final determination.
Next steps: staff will begin negotiations and present the qualification recommendation to the FDRA board for final approval before contracting and site negotiations proceed.
