Non-Competitive_Oversight_Committee_Justification_Form.docx

This is a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form for Pinellas County, Florida, related to a procurement for Unmanned Aerial Services and Professional Engineering Services. The form serves as documentation for a non-competitive (sole source) purchase approval process and requires completion of project details including the project name, total budget estimate, engagement duration, project manager, and requisitioning department. The justification section requires explanation of the rationale for the non-competitive procurement method and background information regarding prior vendor utilization. The contract opportunity itself pertains to qualified engineering firms providing unmanned aerial services on a continuing as-needed basis for various Pinellas County departments. Services include topographic surveys, ecological assessments, infrastructure and construction inspections, damage assessments, and emergency management support. The anticipated work comprises both on-demand services requiring turnaround within 12-24 hours for urgent needs and planned projects.

The form requires approval from a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee consisting of four members: Merry Celeste, Don Crowell, Chris Rose, and the Department ACA, each of whom must indicate approval or non-approval. This procurement structure indicates that the county intends to award the contract without competitive bidding, which necessitates committee oversight and documented justification. The form does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent vendor information, contract term, or renewal options, as these details would typically be completed during the justification submission process based on the specific vendor and circumstances warranting non-competitive procurement.
