Loading...
Summary
Procurement Director Latanya Ammons announced oral presentations from solicitation 1206‑RFP‑25‑4 will be held Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.; staff will ask respondents to submit subcontractor lists and return a written policy to the board by the June 1 meeting.
City procurement staff told the Riviera Beach CRA board that oral presentations for Marina Village Phase 2 solicitation 1206‑RFP‑25‑4 will be held Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Marina Event Center, 190 East 13th Street.
Procurement Director Latanya Ammons said the presentation order will run from the least to the most points assigned in the scoring process; each respondent will have 15 minutes and should limit podium participants to three. Ammons said the verbal notice will be followed by email instructions to each respondent.
Commissioners pressed staff to require subcontractor disclosure and to tighten rules about when a respondent may change subcontractors. Ammons said the city will ask respondents to provide a sub‑list before presentations and that she is finalizing a written policy for the board to review by its June 1 meeting, stating staff will “encourage them to have contracted subs” and require permission to change subs going forward.
Why it matters: Commissioners emphasized protecting local small businesses and SBEs and avoiding a repeat of previous proposals that listed local partners but did not end up contracting with them. The board asked staff to build local participation and community‑benefit considerations into scoring and future solicitations.
Next steps Staff will email instructions to all respondents, require sub‑lists before oral presentations, and return a draft procurement/subcontractor policy to the board by the June 1 meeting.
