RE: Invitation to Bid No. FFS 24 25 118 Myakka State Forest Road Project
This addendum is to provide answers to questions received in reference to this Invitation to Bid.
Question / Answer
1. It is necessary to have a license as a general contractor to participate in this process.
This Invitation to Bid (ITB) is for the purchase of a commodity (shell road base materials).
Bidders are not required to have a general contractor’s license to participate; however, Bidders must be registered as an active vendor with the State of Florida, and comply with all federal, state, and local laws required to conduct business in the State of Florida.
2. What specific documentation is required to verify that the authorized representative has the legal authority to bind the company in this procurement process, or solely for signing the Attachment A - Acknowledgment Form?
The Department does not require any specific documentation to evidence this authority.
3. If the authorized representative holds legal documents from Colombia (such as a notarized power of attorney or a Certificate of Legal Representation), would these be acceptable? If so, would they need to be apostilled?
See response to Question No. 2 above.
4. Are there any additional requirements or steps that a foreign-authorized representative must comply with to meet ITB submission standards.
The Department cannot provide legal advice to potential bidders. Please consult an attorney for all of the specific legal requirements for a foreign-authorized representative or international company to conduct business in the State of Florida. Proof that the company is authorized to conduct business in the state should be provided with its ITB documents.
Follow all the directions and return all the required documents as specified in the ITB.
