Addendum 1.pdf

This document is Addendum No. 1 for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) contract DOT-RFP-25-3004-CS for Districtwide Miscellaneous Utility Negotiation Activities. The addendum, dated March 10, 2025, modifies several sections of the original request for proposal, including revising the Price Proposal submission requirements, adjusting proposal page formatting guidelines, and updating attached forms. Key changes include expanding the acceptable proposal page size to 11"x17", removing certain forms like the DBE Participation Statement, and changing language from DEB to MBE for diversity achievement sections.

The addendum emphasizes the department's commitment to diversity and small business participation, encouraging minority, women, and service-disabled veteran businesses to compete for contracts. Proposers are requested to indicate their intention regarding Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation and submit a completed form with their price proposal. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor with the highest cumulative total points based on specified evaluation criteria. In cases of identical pricing or scoring, the department will use a prioritized set of preferences including veteran business enterprise, drug-free workplace, and minority business enterprise status to determine the award.
