RFP

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

1 Scope of Work 41

Reimbursable Expenses states that the Contractor will be reimbursed for payment of due diligence items (survey, Baseline Documentation Report, Title Commitment, closing fees, etc.).

Currently, FDACS vendors bill FDACS directly for those services. Is the Contractor going to be order/paying for these services or is FDACS?

The Contractor will be responsible for ordering/paying for the services.

2 Scope of Work 43

The scope of work states that the Contractor shall create or obtain due diligence items (initial title report, appraisal map, survey, commitment, etc.).

Is FDACS choosing the vendor to be used for these items or is the Contractor?

The Contractor will be responsible for obtaining due diligence items.

3 N/A N/A

Can you identify the incumbent contractor for this work (if any), and share any performance metrics or evaluations that influenced the current RFP solicitation?

There is no incumbent.

4 IV.K.3 47

Section IV.K.3.a requires a 50-year chain of title. Is this timeframe fixed, or are there conditions under which a shorter title history might be acceptable?

30-year may be acceptable.

RFP

Page # Question Answer

5 N/A N/A

What is the expected number of Assigned Projects per fiscal year, and has that volume increased or decreased in recent years?

Based on current projections, the Department estimates that there may be 50 Assigned Projects per year. Because this will be the first iteration of this contract, the number of Assigned Projects is neither increasing nor decreasing.

6 IV.C 43

Section IV.C requires an Initial Title Report within 10 business days, and Section II.C references both Initial Title Reports and Title Commitments. Does "Initial Title Report" mean a full title commitment, or a more limited ownership and encumbrance report at the pre-offer stage?

Yes, full title commitment.

7 IV.P 54

Beyond the initial title report and commitment, will the contractor also be expected to coordinate title updates and issue closing protection letters?

Yes.

8 IV.L 50

Will the Contractor be guaranteed access to properties for surveys, appraisals, ESA/BDR field work, and SNAs? If not, what protocols are in place to coordinate land access with landowners or agents?

Yes, the right to enter property is provided in the Option Agreement.

9 N/A N/A

Can you provide data on the average purchase price or acreage of easements acquired in the last 3 years, to assist in estimating appraisal, survey, and closing service requirements?

The three-year total is 147,311 acres acquired (includes 13,140 acres closing within next 3 months) for total purchase price of $476 million and $1.2 million in total closing costs.

10 Attachment H 23

Is a Federal Government Agency allowed to serve as a reference under Attachment H? Will you accept a Past Performance Questionnaire rather than the provided attachment?

Yes, a federal government agency may serve as a reference.

No, our reference form is required. See the relevant instructions in the Section 3.1 (Volume II, Tab B, 2.) of the

RFP.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Exhibit A- Compensation Section C sub section 1 and 2

Sub section 1a states offerors can invoice based on certain tasks once approved, however sub section 2 states offerors would be compensated based on the percentages in Exhibit B. Can the Department please clarify?

The Contractor’s Fee is a percentage of the Assigned Project’s gross sales price less all Reimbursable Expenses included in the gross sales price. The applicable fee is based on Acquisition Ranges as defined in Exhibit B, Price Sheet.

The Contractor will also be reimbursed for Reimbursable Expenses (e.g., expenses for due diligence) for an Assigned Project as provided in Section II.C.1. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work.

Volume III Redacted Proposal

May vendors include a table identifying relevant identified sections as exempt, confidential, or trade secret, inclusive of the statutory basis for such claim of exemption, page number, and section number, rather than including such detail on each relevant page?

The Respondent must provide the Department with a separate “Redacted Copy” of its Proposal at the time of Proposal submission if a Respondent considers any portion of the documents, data, or record submitted in response to this solicitation to be exempted by law from disclosure as a public record.

Any Proposal content submitted to Department which is asserted to be exempted by law from disclosure as a public record shall be clearly marked “exempt,” “confidential,” or “trade secret” (as applicable), with the statutory basis for such claim of exemption specifically identified in writing on each and every such page. Failure to segregate and so clearly identify any such content shall constitute a waiver of any claimed exemption.

ARTICLE 8:

GENERAL

PROVISIONS,

8.2

Indemnification

Will the Department consider tying Contractor’s indemnification obligations to the Contractor’s negligence?

No.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Attachment K, Section 2.4 Financial

Consequences and Exhibit A

30, 42-43, 45-46, Will the Department consider removing financial consequences from the relevant tasks in Exhibit A?

The Department is not considering changes to these provisions.

Attachment K, Section 2.4 Financial

Consequences and Exhibit A

30, 42-43, 45-46, If financial consequences may not be removed, will the Department consider including a cap on all financial consequences? Would the Department consider the following caps:

A. Project File – $500 for each instance, up to a maximum of $2,500.

B. Initial Communication – $100 deduction per day, up to a maximum of $1,000 G. Appraisal of Property $100 deduction per day of each instance, up to a maximum of $1,000 H. Pre-offer Documentation Package - $500 for each instance, up to a maximum of $2,000.

J. BOT Approval Package

- $500 per day for each instance, up to a maximum of $2,500

The Department is not considering changes to this provision.

Exhibit A. IV.

C. 2 Contractor Responsibilities for Assigned Projects

For C. Initial Title Report, the RFP indicates that “If a potential Oil, Gas, and/or Mineral issue is discovered, the Contractor shall notify the Department within 2 business days.” Can the Department clarify which event requires notification? Is it the of the project being assigned or discovery of an oil, gas, or mineral issue? If the former, can the Department provide 5 business days to account for discovery?

Notification is required two business days from discovery of a potential Oil, Gas, and/or Mineral issue.

Exhibit A. IV Contractor

Responsibilities for Assigned

Projects

For G. Appraisal of Property tasks, can the Department confirm that the financial consequence will be waived if the Contractor can document that the DEP Approved appraiser was responsible for the delay in completing the appraisal?

Financial consequences will apply in the circumstance described in this question.

Exhibit A. IV Contractor

Responsibilities for Assigned

Projects

For P. Closing Agent tasks there is a performance measure indicating that “The closing shall occur no later than 180 days from the execution of the option agreement.” Can you confirm that if the Contractor can document that the closing does not occur due to the seller’s lack of availability and/or cooperation, the financial consequence is waived?

Option agreements cannot be extended past 180 days. A financial consequence will not apply if the Assigned Project does not close within 180 days due to the seller’s lack of availability and/or cooperation.

In this circumstance, the project may be reassigned as a new Assigned Project with a new 180-day deadline.

Volume II, Tab

A, #2

Shall offerors submit resumes for selected staff being proposed within Volume II, Tab A.2, or as an appendix to the entire Volume II?

Within Volume II, Tab A, 2.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, Attachment I –

Reference Check Form

8, 24, The current Reference Check Form appears to request qualitative evaluations of past performance. However, many public-sector entities—such as counties, municipalities, and state agencies — are often restricted to providing factual references, for instance contract verification, scope of services, and current status. As a result, respondents may be limited in their ability to provide references that fully address the form’s questions. Would FDACS consider revising the Reference Check Form or providing an alternative version that accommodates state agencies’ policy to provide references? This would allow a broader range of reference entities, including public agencies, to participate meaningfully in the evaluation process.

The form will remain as is.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, Attachment I –

Reference Check Form

8, 24, In many easement transactions, the respondent may have served as the buyer’s agent—representing the interests of the state or a land trust—while working closely with the landowner (seller) throughout the acquisition process. In these cases, the seller may be well-positioned to speak to the respondent’s professionalism, communication, and effectiveness, even though they were not the direct client. Would FDACS consider allowing references from sellers in such scenarios, where the respondent acted as the buyer’s representative, and the seller can provide meaningful feedback on the respondent’s role and performance?

The form in its current state will reduce Respondents’ ability to provide references and may ultimately reduce the total number of qualified respondents as the focus of the requested information is limited.

The form will remain as is.

Section 3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

What method does FDACS intend to use to initially contact client references?

References will be emailed.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS intends to initially telephone client references, please clarify the process by which time will be accounted for if the client does not answer the first call. For example, does the 10-day clock start at the first attempt to call the client, or does it start when the client responds?

References will be emailed.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS intends to initially email client references, please clarify the process by which time will be accounted for. For example, does the 10-day clock start at the time the email is sent to the client, or does it start when the client responds?

References will be emailed with the form. Reference Forms are due by the deadline listed in the form when it is submitted to the reference. The deadline will be set by the Department.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

What method will FDACS use to send Attachment I (Reference Check Form) to the client references?

References will be emailed.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS intends to send Attachment I to the client references via email, does this mean client references who do not use email cannot be used? Will there be an alternative method utilized for those client references?

An email address must be provided for all references in accordance with the instructions on Attachment H, References.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS intends to send Attachment I via US postal service or courier, how will FDACS verify when the client has received Attachment I? Does the 10-day clock start at the time the form is mailed out or does it start when the client receives the form?

References will be emailed.

Reference forms are due by the deadline listed on the form.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

In what format (original, faxed, or electronic file) does FDACS expect the client references to return Attachment I?

References must be returned via email as provided on the form’s instructions. See “Deadline.”

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

Will FDACS accept completed Attachment I via email if there is no wet signature (electronic format such as pdf)?

References must be returned via email. Electronic signature will be accepted if that is the format provided by the reference.

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

Will FDACS accept faxed (no wet signature) copies of completed Attachment I forms from the client?

References must be returned via email as provided on the form’s instructions. See “Deadline.”

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS requires client references to return Attachment I via mail or courier service with a wet signature, could FDACS please clarify how it plans to address concerns regarding the reliability of mail delivery—particularly given that some clients may be located out of state and the 10-day timeframe may not allow sufficient time for transit?

References must be returned via email as provided on the form’s instructions. See “Deadline.”

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

If FDACS requires client references to return Attachment I via courier service with a wet signature to meet the 10-day deadline, could FDACS please clarify how it intends to address the potential burden and cost this may impose on our clients, who are not directly involved in this proposal process?

References must be returned via email as provided on the form’s instructions. See “Deadline.”

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

May we include pre-paid envelopes for our clients to return the form to FDACS if signed forms are expected to be original mailed or sent via courier?

References must be returned via email as provided on the form’s instructions. See “Deadline.”

3, 3.1, Volume II, Tab B, Item 2, paragraph 2

Will FDACS consider eliminating a signed Attachment I form for a different form completed by FDACS via telephone interview with the client reference?

No.

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, III, C

Will inclusion of a subcontractor within the respondent proposal constitute Department acceptance of that subcontractor if the respondent is awarded a contract?

No. See Section 3.1, Volume II, Tab A, 4 of the RFP document and Section 8.10 of Attachment K, Contractual Services Agreement.

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, III, C

Will three quotes (or 2 quotes, depending on the value of the work) be required if the Contractor is not utilizing a subcontractor for tasks provided in Section IV?

See Section II below for amendment to Section III.C. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work.

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, III, C-D

Will the markup applied to subcontractor invoices follow the standard cost-plus- 10% rate for subcontracted work that is considered a Reimbursable Expense per the definition provided in Exhibit A II.C.1.?

No, the Contractor will be reimbursed for its Reimbursable Expenses only.

The Contractor’s invoice and payment receipt to the subcontractor for those expenses are required in order to be reimbursed by the Department. See Section II.C.1.

of Exhibit A, Scope of Work.

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, IV, B, 2

Is this performance measure met if the Contractor initiates contact with the owner or owner representative, but the owner or owner representative does not respond?

Yes, so long as the timing and documentation requirements of this provision are also met.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, IV, H

Is the preparation of the Pre-Offer Documentation Package considered a reimbursable expense?

Yes. See Section II.C.1.a. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work.

Exhibit A, Scope of Work, IV, J

Is the preparation of the BOT Approval Package considered a reimbursable expense?

No.

Exhibit B, Price

Sheet, Note

The note states “the Contractor may be reimbursed for Reimbursable Expenses…”. The use of “may” appears to indicate there will be situations where the Contractor would not be reimbursed for Reimbursable Expenses. Can FDACS please clarify what situations would lead to the Contractor not being reimbursed for Reimbursable Expenses?

As an example, in accordance with Section II.C.1. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work, Reimbursable Expenses would not be reimbursed if “sufficient documentation for reimbursement, including receipts for payment and details of services provided for which such payment was made” was not submitted to the Department.

Attachment I, Reference Check Form

This form represents 5 points and includes 9 questions. How will responses to the 9 questions be weighed against the 5 points available?

Attachment J, Evaluator Score Sheet, provides that evaluators are to provide points for each of the three references using the following scale:

Positive: 5 points Neutral: 3 points Negative or no response received: 0 points.

Attachment I, Reference Check Form

This form represents 5 points and assigns “positive”, “neutral”, and “negative” reviews point values. The form itself, however, does not ask for “positive”, “neutral”, and “negative” responses from the client. How will FDACS determine whether a client response is “positive”, “neutral”, or “negative”?

Each evaluator will exercise his or her independent judgment based on what is submitted.

Attachment I, Reference

Check Form, page 2, Question 2

This question seems to overlap with Question 1, which asked about the type of services conducted. Could you please clarify if there is additional descriptive information you’re seeking beyond what was previously provided?

Question 1 addresses the type of services provided, and Question 2 requests a description of those services.

As an example, “roadwork” is a type of service, and “asphalt paving for 5 miles” is a description.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Attachment I, Reference

Check Form, page 2, Question 5

This question seems to presuppose that the respondent has experienced issues during their work with the client, which may unintentionally bias responses toward the negative. Additionally, it may be unrealistic to expect that clients are fully familiar with the respondent’s internal problem resolution procedures. Could FDACS clarify the intent behind this question, and whether it is acceptable for references to indicate that no issues arose or that they are not familiar with the respondent’s internal processes?

This question is intended to solicit the information requested. As an example, a reference may indicate that they experienced no problems or are not familiar with respondent’s internal processes.

Attachment I, Reference

Check Form, page 2, Question 8

This question may unintentionally prompt a negative response, even in cases where no issues have occurred. Could FDACS clarify the intent behind this question? Specifically, is the purpose to identify areas for improvement even in otherwise successful engagements, or to identify significant concerns? Additionally, would it be acceptable for references to indicate that they had no areas of dissatisfaction if that accurately reflects their experience?

This question is intended to solicit the information requested. As an example, it would be acceptable for references to indicate that they had no areas of dissatisfaction.

Attachment I, Reference

Check Form, page 2, Question 9

The intent of this question is unclear, as it seems to require a binary response regarding whether project timelines were met. Could you please clarify if additional context or explanation is expected?

This question is intended to solicit the information requested. Additional context is not required, but the reference may provide additional context as desired.

Attachment I, Reference

Check Form, page 2, Questions 2 through 9

Would the Department consider revising the client questions to allow for simplified response options, such as 'yes' or 'no’, or a scale of 'positive', 'neutral’, and 'negative'? This approach could help streamline the response process, provide greater clarity, and reduce the time burden on clients who are not directly involved in this procurement.

No.

Page # Question Answer

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

The Scope of Work and Exhibit B – Price Sheet outline reimbursement procedures for project-related reimbursable expenses. However, many of the reimbursable tasks (e.g., title reports, SNA mapping, appraisals, surveys, ESA/BDR) may be self-performed by the contractor if they have the appropriate qualifications. Could FDACS clarify how compensation will be handled in cases where the contractor self-performs these services rather than subcontracting them?

Specifically:

1. Will the contractor be eligible for reimbursement of self-performed services at market rates, provided sufficient documentation is submitted?

2. Are there any restrictions or additional documentation requirements for self-performed reimbursable tasks?

3. Will the quote requirements (e.g., 2–3 quotes) still apply if the contractor is performing the work in-house?

See Section II below for amendment to Section III.C. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work.

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

Should self-performed reimbursable services be invoiced the same way as subcontracted services?

Yes.

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

If a project is terminated after significant work has been completed but before closing, is there any partial compensation available beyond reimbursable expenses?

No.

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

Can FDACS clarify the timeline for submitting the Contractor’s Fee invoice after project file submission and how long payment processing typically takes?

The invoice cannot be submitted until the Assigned Project is completed. Expected timelines may be addressed with the Contract Manager. The invoice would be processed in accordance with Subsection 3.3 of the Contractual Services Agreement (Attachment K).

53 Exhibit A III. 40-51

Performance Measures and Penalties - Are there any circumstances under which financial consequences (e.g., $500/day penalties) may be waived, such as delays caused by landowners or third parties?

The answer to this question requires a fact-specific analysis. See, for example, answer to Question 18.

Section

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

To better understand the expected project flow and resource planning needs, could FDACS provide information on the average timeframe for a successful conservation easement acquisition under the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program? Additionally, what is the historical success rate of assigned projects resulting in a closed easement?

This question is intended to help respondents better understand the financial risk of uncompensated expenses for Assigned Projects that do not result in easement closing.

Starting in July 2024, the average timeframe to complete a project is 9.7 months, with a 100% success rate after a fully executed option agreement.

There was one declined offer.

55 General Please provide a list of all approved vendors that provide services related to this contract (appraisers, surveyors, etc.).

The list of FDACS’ current vendors is attached as Appendix I. In addition, the list of Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s approved appraisers is located here:

https://qlik.dep.state.fl.us/anon/ sense/app/b8065621-0e91- 45a4-aa36-d1e9da42abda/sheet/e8e3c2c9 -6713-47d0-a7cd- 8ac15d76a605/state/analysis

Exhibit B, Price

Sheet

The pricing sheet provides three categories as pricing ranges for acquisitions (AR1 through AR3). Can FDACS provide the historical average annual number of acquisitions that fall within each pricing range?

A previous contractual relationship of this type does not exist, so no such data can be provided. However, the answer to Question 9 may be relevant to your inquiry.

57 General

Can the Department list all easements and sale details on all easements purchased under the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program since 2019?

This data is not currently assembled. See the answer to Question 9 for a three-year total.

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

The Scope of Work indicates that certain reimbursable expenses—such as surveys, environmental site assessments, and closing fees—should be deferred to closing unless otherwise approved by the Department. Could FDACS clarify the process for handling these deferred expenses in the event that a project does not close?

See Subsections II.C.1.c. and II.C.2. of Exhibit A, Scope of Work, and the “Note” on Exhibit B, Price Sheet. The Contractor would be required to submit an invoice to the Contract Manager for Reimbursable Expenses. The invoice would be processed in accordance with Subsection 3.3 of the Contractual Services Agreement (Attachment K).

RFP

Page # Question Answer

Exhibit A II.C., Compensation to Contractor

The Scope of Work indicates that certain reimbursable expenses—such as surveys, environmental site assessments, and closing fees—should be deferred to closing unless otherwise approved by the Department. Does this mean that Respondent and Subcontractor fees will not be reimbursed for an extended period of time? What is the expected timeframe on payment for this category of Reimbursable Expenses that is deferred until closing (e.g., 30, 60, 90, 180 days)?

For example, if an environmental assessment report was submitted 45 days before closing, the contractor must wait 45 days to invoice, then must wait an additional ~40 days for receipt of payment.

For items deferred to closing, reimbursement would be delayed until closing is completed, an invoice is submitted to the Department for the reimbursement, and the invoice is processed in accordance with Subsection 3.3 of the Contractual Services Agreement (Attachment K).

Exhibit B, Price

Sheet

Please provide an example with numbers to illustrate the contractor’s % fee (AR1 through AR3) of the Assigned Project’s gross sales price less all Reimbursable Expenses to clarify how Reimbursable Expenses impact the contractor’s fee.

The following example assumes that:

• The Contractor’s Fees for the initial term are 1% (for AR1), 2% (for AR2), and 3% (for AR3).

• Each example transaction’s gross sales price is $1,000,000.

• Reimbursable Expenses included in the gross sales price are $5,000 for each example transaction.

When AR1 applies:

($1,000,000 - $5,000) x 1% = Contractor’s Fee of $9,950

When AR2 applies:

($1,000,000 - $5,000) x 2% = Contractor’s Fee of $19,900

When AR3 applies:

($1,000,000 - $5,000) x 3% = Contractor’s Fee of $29,850

See also Section II below for amendment to Exhibit B.

II. Amendments to RFP.

The following amendments are made to the RFP:

1. Section III.C., Subcontractor Quote Requirements, of Exhibit A, Scope of Work, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:

C. Quote Requirements

1. To the extent the Contractor’s tasks provided in Section IV, below, will be completed by a subcontractor, the Contractor must receive prior approval from the Department unless that subcontractor is obtained from a Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved vendor list or a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services contract for such purposes. The Contractor must obtain at least 3 quotes for all items or services to be provided by a subcontractor that will result in Reimbursable Expenses or expenses to be paid during closing by the Department, unless such expenses will be under $10,000, at which point only 2 quotes are required.

2. If the Contractor will self-perform any item or service that will result in Reimbursable

Expenses or expenses to be paid during closing by the Department, the Contractor will only be reimbursed at the market rate for those items or services. If the Department disputes the

Contractor’s invoice on the basis that the items or services were not provided at market rate, the Contractor must provide quotes or other similar documentation supporting that the expense was invoiced at market rate.

2. The Example provided on Exhibit B, Price Sheet, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with:

Example: During the initial term of the Contract, if a transaction, when added to the previous total amount closed, would bring the Contractor’s total amount closed to $51,000,000, AR2’s percentage for the initial term would be the Contractor’s Fee for that transaction.

The Contractor will be required to execute a revised Exhibit B, Price Sheet, reflecting this change at the time of Contract execution.

This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the above noted Request for Proposal.

All other terms, conditions, and specifications of this Request for Proposal will remain the same. For questions regarding this Addendum, please contact the Purchasing Office at (850) 617-7181 or email at Bids@FDACS.gov.

Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the time allowed for filing a bond shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. Protests must be filed with the Department’s Agency Clerk. Filings may be made physically at:
