Contractors must be licensed Florida Real Estate Brokers in good standing with a minimum of ten years of experience in relevant real estate transactions, particularly with public sector clients, and must maintain E-Verify enrollment at time of submission. Fees and commissions will be determined according to fee schedules submitted in response to the RFP and paid only upon successful completion of transactions.

Local vendor preference of 10 points is available for firms maintaining a current Business Tax Receipt from Collier or Lee County with a permanent physical business address in those counties, though this is not a set-aside program and all qualified vendors may respond. The document indicates that budgetary resources have been identified to fund any resulting award and that grantor requirements are not applicable.
