Heart of Boynton Beach design project: $16 million in grant funding; RFQ recommended for environmental review
Summary
City staff presented a recommended RFQ award to a consultant for environmental review tied to the Heart of Boynton Beach design project, which staff said has about $16 million in grant funding and an estimated total cost of roughly $20 million (city share ~ $4–5 million). The RFQ cap shown in the transcript contained formatting errors and was not specified in the agenda review.
Commissioners were briefed on a planned RFQ award to Keith and Associates for environmental review and engineering-design services related to the Heart of Boynton Beach design project. Staff said the project has secured about $16 million in grant funding and that the total project cost was described as about $20 million, with the city's responsibility estimated at $4 to $5 million.
Staff did not provide a clear not-to-exceed dollar figure for the RFQ during the agenda review; the transcript shows a formatting error in the RFQ cap (listed as "2,74,000"). Staff said they will return with final contract numbers and award documents for commission action.
Why it matters: the project is a major economic/urban-design investment and will shape downtown improvements; commissioners flagged the overall budget and the city's anticipated contribution.
Next steps: staff to complete procurement paperwork and return to the commission with a corrected RFQ award recommendation and contract details.
