This Master Agreement (Contract BEK62) is executed between the State of Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) and the State of Florida Department of Corrections (FDC), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The agreement authorizes FDC to provide inmate labor for maintenance activities on DOT public works projects, with technical assistance provided by DOT. The contract is authorized under Florida Statutes Section 339.08(2), which permits DOT to enter into agreements with FDC for maintenance functions performed by prison inmates under FDC supervision.

The agreement covers two categories of inmate labor: FDC Supervised Work Crews performing specific maintenance activities under FDC officer supervision, and Supplemental Support Labor consisting of minimum and community custody inmates assigned to DOT-directed work. All maintenance activities listed in Addendum B are compensated at a uniform unit labor cost of $10.65 per man-hour, except for FDC Officer Travel Time, which is $30.53 per man-hour. The total annual appropriation available is $500,000.00 for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. DOT is responsible for providing tools, equipment, materials, training, vehicle transportation, and supervision of supplemental support labor, while FDC provides qualified officers, inmates, and operational support. The agreement may be renewed annually upon mutual agreement of both parties, with individual Local Agreements established for each DOT district and FDC facility specifying work schedules, quantities, and costs.
