Non-Competitive_Oversight_Committee_Justification_Form.docx

The document is a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form related to Pinellas County Government's exploration of drone technology for post-hurricane damage assessment. The form appears to be an internal document for evaluating a potential non-competitive procurement, with review by committee members including Merry Celeste, Don Crowell, Chris Rose, and a representative from the Department ACA. While the form is incomplete, it corresponds with a Request for Information (RFI) from Pinellas County seeking advanced drone-based technology and professional services for conducting comprehensive damage assessments following natural disasters.

The RFI specifically targets vendors capable of providing aerial surveillance technologies for emergency management, building inspections, and property assessments in areas impacted by high winds, storm surge, and flooding. The county is interested in technologies that can expedite structural damage inspections, including capabilities for identifying high water marks, mapping debris, assessing structural compromise, and analyzing flood extents. Notably, this is an informational request and not a direct solicitation for bids, with responses intended to inform potential future procurement processes. The RFI is focused on gathering detailed information about vendor capabilities, data collection standards, and operational methodologies specific to post-disaster aerial assessment technologies.
