This document is Addendum No. 1 issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for Contract No. DOT-RFP-25-3004-CS, a solicitation for Districtwide Miscellaneous Utility Negotiation Activities. The addendum, dated March 10, 2025, introduces several key modifications to the original Request for Proposal (RFP), including revisions to the Price Proposal section, proposal presentation guidelines, and attached forms. Proposers are instructed to submit price proposal information via email, limit their proposal to 11"x17" pages, and include specific forms such as the Price Proposal Form, Drug-Free Workplace Program Certification, and Foreign Country of Concern Attestation.

The document emphasizes the Department's commitment to diversity and inclusion, encouraging small, minority, women, and service-disabled veteran businesses to compete for contracts. In cases of equal bids, preference will be given to Veteran Business Enterprise, Drug Free Work Place, and Minority Business Enterprise, in that order. The contract aims to provide utility negotiation services, including identifying utility facilities, resolving conflicts, securing legal agreements, and supporting FDOT's construction processes. The procurement process requires proposers to demonstrate qualifications, key personnel experience, and compliance with various state and federal regulations, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and nondiscrimination guidelines.
