Murdock Village Redevelopment Initiative

11. How will the County determine which proposal to select?

The County's approach to considering responses to its request for proposals is to consider the proposals separately from the sealed offers to purchase. [Click here to view the request for proposals and specifically section RP-32 Anticipated Schedule.] After the deadline to submit proposals, for a period of approximately thirty to forty (30-40) days, the County's selection committee intends to examine and consider proposals received, seek discussion, clarifications, submittal of additional information and or presentations from the proposers. Immediately thereafter the County's selection committee will open and examine sealed purchase price offers, rank and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. Pursuant to Section 119.07(3)(m), Florida Statutes, the sealed purchase price bids will be made available for public review when they are opened by the County. All meetings of the County's selection committee will be conducted after public notice and in conformation with all government in the sunshine requirements.

The request for proposals contains evaluation criteria which will be used by the County selection committee to recommend a redevelopment partner or development team to the County Commission. [Click here to view evaluation criteria.] The County Commission is expected to select a proposer to negotiate a Redevelopment Agreement in mid-summer 2004.

In the event negotiations with the selected proposer are unsuccessful, the County reserves the right to terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with an alternative proposer. All proposers are required to deposit $200,000 with the County during any period in which they are actively negotiating a Redevelopment Agreement. It is important to note that there is not to be any contact between a proposer and any member of the County's selection committee or any member of the Board of County Commissioners regarding the project or proposal submitted by any proposer. Should any member of the selection committee initiate contact or fail to report any contact, such committee member may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Any proposer contacting any selection committee member or member of the Board of County Commissioners regarding a submitted proposal is subject to sanctions up to and including having the County disqualify that firm's submittal.
