Work Squad

This Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) establishes a collaborative master agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) for inmate labor services. The contract enables DOT to utilize minimum and community custody inmates for a comprehensive range of maintenance and support activities across Florida's highway system. Services include roadside maintenance, seeding, bridge repair, traffic control, facility and equipment maintenance, training, transportation, and emergency/routine maintenance tasks. Each labor hour is priced at a consistent rate of $10.65, with over 100 different activity types covered under the agreement.

The master agreement was initially awarded on July 1, 2020, with a completion date of June 30, 2021, and is renewable annually by mutual consent. The prime contractors are the Florida Department of Transportation and the Florida Department of Corrections, with an original appropriation of $19,646,000.00. Two contract modifications (in January and March 2021) adjusted the total appropriation, ultimately reducing it to $13,052,363.85. The contract type is a Master Agreement specific to the State of Florida, with FDC providing inmates and correctional officer supervision while DOT directs and oversees the maintenance work.
