About this file

This is an Authorization to Advertise document issued by Collier County's Procurement Services Division on behalf of the Public Utilities Department in Florida. The document authorizes the advertisement of an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for answering service provision to the Public Utilities Department. The solicitation number is 26-8670, with a due date and time of August 17th, 2026 at 3:00 P.M. EST. The authorization was signed and approved on June 29, 2026, with the document processed on July 1, 2026, and subsequent review dates on July 7 and 8, 2026. The solicitation will utilize local vendor preference as an evaluation criterion.

Historically, the County's Public Utilities Department has spent approximately $60,000 annually on answering services, though this figure may not be indicative of future spending patterns. The County has confirmed that budgetary resources have been identified to fund any resulting award within established thresholds and that a cost estimate or opinion of cost was obtained prior to authorization. All required approvals and signatures from the Design Professional, Project Manager, Division Director, and Procurement Strategist have been obtained. The solicitation does not appear to be grant-funded, as indicated on the authorization form.
