The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has awarded a blanket purchase order (C7854D) for central monitoring services of the fire alarm system at the St. Joseph Bay Buffer Preserve located at 3915 State Road 30A, Port St. Joe, Florida 32456. The contract was executed on July 1, 2026, with a performance period extending through June 30, 2027. The contract value is $900 annually, billed in advance, with payment due upon invoice. The prime contractor is responsible for providing continuous fire alarm system monitoring services throughout the initial one-year contract term.

The agreement includes automatic annual renewal provisions following the initial term, with either party entitled to terminate by providing 60 days' advanced written notice. Monitoring services are billed on an annual basis only, with no provisions for monthly or quarterly billing options. The contract permits advance payment authorization pursuant to Florida Statute 215.422(15), as the services are deemed essential to state agency operations and advance payment yields cost savings. The Department reserves the right to terminate the contract and withdraw all services without notice if payment becomes 45 days past due. Contract administration is managed by Amy Marable, telephone 850-670-7704.
