CONTRACT. >> HELLO.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> HOW ARE YOU DOING? I WILL KICK THIS MEMBERS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAD A FIRM ON BOARD TO DO SOME OF OUR PRODUCT DESIGNS. AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME PARKING NEEDS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE ISSUED AN RFQ TO SELECT ONE OR MORE FIRMS TO COME IN AND DO SOME DESIGN WORK AND PROVIDE SERVICES TO US RELATED TO PARK PROJECTS. WE DID GET SEVEN RESPONSES WHICH WAS GOOD. MUCH BETTER THAN SOME OF OUR OTHER TURNOUT. WE HAD A COMMITTEE OF THREE STAFF MEMBERS THAT EVALUATED THE RESPONSES AND WE USED OUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CRITERIA FOR THIS EVALUATION.

YOU SEE BEFORE YOU THE SCORING OF THE SEVEN FORMS. WE DID ASK FOR ONE OR MORE STAFF INITIALLY, RECOMMENDED THE TOP THREE. WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF AWARDED TODAY, AT THE BOARD MEETING WE WILL NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS AND BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD. WE ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

ONE, THERE IS A MINOR DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN NUMBER THREE AND NUMBER FOUR. IT IS LIKE .83 POINTS.

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE SCORING, I WOULD TO PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT PROFESSIONAL COMPLIMENTS, OUT OF A SCORE OF 10, ICA TWO, A 1.5 AND 3.5. THOSE ARE PRETTY LOW.

THAT SENDS ME A SIGNAL THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE.

1.5 OUT OF 10. >> WHEN WE SCORED THESE PROPOSALS, WE LOOKED AT A LOT OF CONSULTING SERVICES, DESIGN SERVICES AND POPULATED PROJECT .

THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN PART DESIGNED.

THAT WAS SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AND MOST OF IT WAS FACILITY RELATED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

>> WITH THE SCORING, WE DID KIND OF LOOK AT THAT, IT IS NOT FAR OFF OF NUMBER THREE BUT THERE WAS A BIGGER GAP BETWEEN

FOUR AND FIVE. >> WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO

[00:05:03]

INSTEAD OF THREE? >> NO SIR.

>> THEY ARE LOCAL, FIRM AND SCORED WELL EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CATEGORY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE IN THAT REGIME OF DESIGN, EVEN 1.5 IS KIND OF ANYWAY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE FOURTH ONE TO THE LIST IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO. CAN WE DO THAT HERE AND MAKE IT A CONSENT ITEM? OR WOULD HE GO TO THE FULL

COMMISSION? >> WE COULD DO THAT, WE CAN CHANGE OUR RECOMMENDATION AND PUT IT ON THE D.C.

THIS PARK SINCE DAY ONE?>> NO SIR.

CLAY COUNTY PARKS AND REC IN 2019 DESIGNED AND REBUILT THE PARK TO INCLUDE THREE BASEBALL FIELDS AND WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON A PARKING LOT EXPANSION PROJECT NOW AND I SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

AS FAR AS DOLLARS PUT IN FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD, IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THE COUNTY WITH THE INTENT OF BUILDING

RECREATIONAL AMENITIES. >> IT JUST SEEMS WEIRD TO ME.

IT IS THEIR PROPERTY, WE BUILD IT AND MAINTAIN IT FOR 20 YEAR , IT IS KIND OF LIKE OWNING IT. I DON'T KNOW, I THINK WE ARE TO LOOK AT POSSIBLY ENGAGING WITH THESCHOOL BOARD TO TRANSFER THE PROPERTY TO US . UNLESS THEY HAVE SOME ALTERNATE

DESIGN ON THE PROPERTY. >> WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST. I THINK IF I REMEMBER AND CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, THE SCHOOL BOARD TANK THAT MAY BE THEY WOULD EXPAND IN THAT AREA .

[00:10:04]

KAREN? >> MY KNOWLEDGES THE PROPERTY WAS THERE IN CASE THE SCHOOL NEEDED TO EXPAND.

AT THE TIME, THEY DO NOT SEEM TO GROWTH HAPPENING, THAT IS WHY WE APPROACHED THE SCHOOL BOARD.

THAT PROPERTY IS MORE SUITABLE FOR A PARKING LOT AND WE NEED WITH T-BALL FIELD) PROPERTY SO THEY ALLOW FOR THE LEASE AT THAT TIME THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING OR

DONATING THAT. >> IT SEEMS WEIRD TO ME, WE KEEP DOING THIS AND WE ARE IN ESSENCE OWNING AND OPERATING AND MAINTAINING, WE DO NOT OWN BUT WE LEASE IT.

>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROPERTIES LIKE THIS?

IS THAT UNUSUAL? >> WAS IS IT KIMBERLY?

>> IS NOT A RECREATIONAL PARK. >> THAT IS THROUGH THE STATE.

>> THERE ARE SOME ONE OFFS AND ODDITIES LIKE THAT BUT NOTHING

SPECIFIC. >> THE USE OF EXTRACURRICULAR

SPORTS. >> IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AT SOME FUTURE DATE. INSTEAD OF DOING THIS EXTENSION

LEASE. >> I GUESS WE COULD GO ON THE RECORD IF THEY DID NOT WANT TO GIVE IT TO US.

AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WOULD BE ANY NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS, BUT IF THEY ARE WATCHING.

>> KIMBERLY, CAN YOU TELL WHAT WE ACTUALLY GET WITH THE

COUNTY? >> ABSOLUTELY.

THE SPONSORSHIP IS FROM, IT IS REIMBURSABLE.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THRASHER HORN HAS TO SUBMIT EXPENSES ON THEIR BEHALF. A LOT OF TIMES IT IS MARKETING EXPENSES FOR MARKETING THE SHOWS THAT THEY BRING IN ORDERS ACTUAL CONTRACT EXPENSES AND OPERATIONAL EXPENSES FOR THE ACTS THAT THEY BRING IN. THE REASON THAT IS VALUABLE FROM A TOURISM PERSPECTIVE IS THAT IF THEY BRING IN CERTAIN ACTS, IT IS HIGHER MARKETING VALUE AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

WHEN THEY QUOTED THE 100,000 AND SPLIT THE 200,000, THEY USED SURVEY DATA RECORDED AND TALKING TO THE GTA LEADERSHIP, HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE WERE DOING A STUDY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LAUGH THE NEXT 10 YEARS, WE USE POSTCODE DATA INCREASE THE COST A LITTLE BIT FOR THEM TO GO BACK OUT AND DO THAT RIDERSHIP SURVEY.
