About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent to Award from the City of Sanford Purchasing Division for Informal Request for Quote (IRFQ) 24/25-307 for Special Magistrate Services. The City intends to award the contract to Roper, Townsend & Sutphen, P.A. on April 15, 2025, for professional legal services to serve as a Special Magistrate conducting code enforcement hearings. The solicitation, which was posted on March 31, 2025, with a response deadline of April 15, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. local time, seeks a qualified Florida-licensed attorney to perform quasi-judicial functions related to code enforcement hearings in accordance with the City of Sanford Code of Ordinances and Florida Statute Chapter 162.
The notice indicates that the contract will be for an initial one-year term with automatic yearly renewals, not to exceed a five-year total term. The selected firm will be compensated at a rate of $175 per hour, which was the lowest among four proposals received from law firms. The City reserves the right to cancel the Notice of Intent to Award at any time prior to final execution of the agreement and may revoke the award if the successful bidder fails to accept, negotiate, and execute the agreement. No specific total contract value is mentioned, but the hourly rate structure suggests flexibility in billing based on actual hearing and preparation time.
