Subject: Recommendation for Approval to Award: RFP-01307, Metromover Comprehensive Wayside System Overhaul and Utilizing Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds for Such Purpose

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve a competitive contract award, Contract No. RFP-01307, Metromover Comprehensive Wayside System Overhaul, for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The contract will provide the County with a comprehensive wayside equipment overhaul of the Metromover System, which is fully automated, driverless, and on a fixed-guideway. There is no current or prior contract for these services.

The Metromover has been in operation for 32 years. The current wayside system has now reached the end of its useful life. The project�s objective is to replace and/or refurbish major subsystems of the Metromover in order to improve equipment reliability and availability. These subsystems include the Automatic Train Control System, Data Transmission System with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, Power Distribution System elements (e.g. low voltage breakers, protective relays, ground switches), guideway switch equipment and Central Control equipment.

The project will include the design, supply manufacturing, installation, testing and commissioning of the Automated People Mover System into a fully functional Miami-Dade County Metromover System.

This item is placed for Board review pursuant to Miami-Dade County Code Section 29-124(f). The Board may only consider this item if the Citizens� Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) has forwarded a recommendation to the Board prior to the date scheduled for Board consideration or 45 days have elapsed since the issuance of this recommendation. If CITT has not forwarded a recommendation and 45 days have not elapsed since the issuance of this recommendation, a withdrawal of this item will be requested.

Background
On December 20, 2019, the County issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain proposals from qualified firms for the overhaul of the Metromover System. One proposal was received on July 30, 2020, from Bombardier Transportation (Holdings) USA Inc. (Bombardier). A survey of non-responding firms was conducted in order to ascertain why only one proposal was received; 12 firms responded as follows: nine firms were only interested as subcontractors; two firms indicated the scope of work was outside of their technical capability; and one firm indicated they deemed the as-built electrical and mechanical system documents provided by the County were insufficient for their needs to prepare a proposal.

The Competitive Selection Committee (Committee) completed an evaluation of the sole proposal received, following the guidelines published in the solicitation. The Committee determined that Bombardier�s overall proposal demonstrated a strong approach in meeting the project objectives of the RFP and demonstrated its ability to meet all aspects of the project requirements. It was the consensus of the Committee that Bombardier demonstrated its ability to deliver system functionality requirements as specified in the solicitation. Bombardier�s financial capacity shows evidence of sufficient financial strength, resources and capability to finance the project. The quality of Bombardier�s Management Program, Project Organization Plans, Project Schedule, Systems Operation Plan, Training Plan, and Maintenance Plan were deemed acceptable.

Scope
The Metromover system traverses County Commission Districts 3 and 5 represented by Commissioner Keon Hardemon and Commissioner Eileen Higgins, respectively. The scope of this item is countywide in nature.

Delegation of Authority
If this item is approved, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee will have the authority to exercise all provisions of the contract, including any cancellation, or extension provisions, pursuant to Section 2-8.1 of the County Code and Implementing Order 3-38.
