[00:02:03] Next is ranking of firms to conduct a bicycle pedestrian bridge feasibility study. [00:02:09] The study relates to the Marine Parkway Bridge and it is, it was, a request for [00:02:23] qualifications was let earlier this year. [00:02:29] And in that regard, interviews were conducted with the respondents. [00:02:37] There were two respondents to the request for qualifications and the ranking is, as [00:02:45] indicated in the agenda item, S&ME Incorporated received the number one [00:02:54] placement and Ayers & Associates received the second place placement of firms. [00:03:04] S&ME, as you may recall, conducted our Parks and Recreation Master Plan. [00:03:12] Ayers & Associates serve as the engineer to the city at the current time. [00:03:20] The scores were very close, but at the conclusion of the presentations and the [00:03:29] review of the submittals, the staff felt very strongly that S&ME were the preferred [00:03:37] candidate, therefore, at this time, I'm recommending that you authorize me to [00:03:44] negotiate a fee with a top rated firm to conduct the feasibility study. [00:03:50] Very good. [00:03:50] Open up for public comment. [00:03:52] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to the committee. [00:03:57] Move approval. [00:04:00] Second. [00:04:01] To the maker. [00:04:03] Yes, I'm looking over the documentation they have. [00:04:08] It seems to have a lot of work that they've done with the DOT. [00:04:10] They've also done a lot of good urban work in places that are progressive like [00:04:18] Orlando and Polk County, which are also kind of associated to this trail concept. [00:04:24] So I'd be very comfortable in learning from them and who knows where it goes. [00:04:30] Director Murphy? [00:04:32] I'm good. [00:04:33] Director Trotter? [00:04:34] Nothing. [00:04:37] It's probably water under the bridge, but I kind of think, I wish our RFP would have [00:04:44] included not just a pedestrian bridge, but alternative crossings other than a bridge. [00:04:48] But like I said, that's probably water under the bridge. [00:04:53] I wouldn't say so. [00:04:55] I mean, the way they've described themselves, they're going to hold and work [00:04:58] as a team and keep us posted. [00:04:59] So if we're spending money to find out that this is something that could be done [00:05:04] more effectively and safely and easily a different way, then that may come out. [00:05:12] But hopefully we'll have some good interactions along the way. [00:05:19] Okay. [00:05:20] This is posted. [00:05:23] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:05:27] Aye. [00:05:28] Opposed, like sign. [00:05:29] Motion passes.
