The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Master Agreement IDV provides a comprehensive framework for procuring professional services across multiple domains, with a primary focus on planning, research, and specialized engineering services. The IDV enables FDOT to issue Task Work Orders (TWOs) for diverse projects, including geotechnical engineering, construction testing, transportation infrastructure research, and academic collaborations. Key services encompass activities such as test pile programs, bridge and road project engineering, airport operations research, and advanced concrete durability testing.

The master IDV is a ten-year contract effective from March 21, 2022, through March 20, 2032, with multiple prime contractors including Foundation & Geotechnical Engineering, LLC and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The contract is classified as a Master Agreement with statewide coverage in Florida, utilizing a flexible task order mechanism that allows for specific project-based work. Each Task Work Order can be independently scoped, with compensation determined on a project-by-project basis and potential indirect cost rates up to 25%. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, individual task orders range from approximately $22,000 to $81,000, demonstrating the IDV's adaptability in supporting FDOT's diverse engineering and research needs.
