Port Everglades 2025 Air Emissions Inventory and Reduction Planning

Broward County is soliciting proposals for the Port Everglades 2025 Air Emissions Inventory and Reduction Planning project under solicitation number PNC2132317B1, with a response deadline of June 8, 2026. The project requires the development of an activity-based air emissions inventory for Port Everglades facilities and operations, leveraging current methodologies while maintaining direct comparability with the 2015 baseline inventory. The scope encompasses assessing direct mobile sources such as vessels, vehicles, and equipment, as well as indirect emissions from purchased electricity, all within jurisdictional boundaries and aligned with the EPA-approved Work Plan. The contractor must facilitate a Technical Working Group and Stakeholder Working Group, conduct comprehensive public outreach compliant with ADA and Port branding standards, and support workforce development initiatives. All deliverables—including a Quality Assurance Project Plan, methodology documents, draft and final emissions reports, presentation materials, and outreach literature—must be submitted in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and PDF formats with tracked revisions. The contract is fixed-value at $300,000, funded by transportation surtax proceeds and ad valorem funds, with a performance period extending through November 30, 2027 and potential for two one-year extensions up to five years total. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, requiring full compliance with EPA standards, 2 CFR Part 200, OSHA, GHS, and County specifications. Proposals must be submitted exclusively via the Broward County Electronic Bidding System (EBS) by the deadline, with no exceptions made for late or alternative submissions. Vendors are strongly encouraged to provide all requested documents, even those labeled optional, to ensure a complete evaluation. The County requires adherence to strict security protocols for personnel accessing Port Everglades facilities, including execution of SSI nondisclosure agreements, acquisition of WWS ID badges, and completion of a security memorandum. Criminal background screenings must be conducted annually and reported monthly, with immediate termination of any employee found on sexual offender registries; subcontractors are bound by the same requirements. Access to the Airport Operating Area requires a valid Florida driver’s license and a County-issued vehicle permit, and all vehicles and cargo are subject to search upon entry. Contractors must implement criminal history screening policies post-award, disclose affiliations with suspended or debarred entities, and submit affidavits if working with entities of foreign concern that access personal identifying information.
