About this file

This document is a Description of Intended Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department). The Department seeks to contract with The Crawford Group for Season Three of "Flip My Florida Yard," a television series that provides public education and promotion for the Florida-Friendly Landscaping (FFL) Program. The series will consist of 10 landscape episodes featuring "flip" segments, "Yard Science" segments, and "Maintenance Moment" segments focused on the 9 FFL principles. The Department will have access to the episodes, b-roll footage, and high-resolution stills. The contract term is approximately 18 months, with a total estimated value of $648,000.

The contract includes fixed-price tasks for casting, pre-production, production, content delivery, and remaining associated content and distribution. The Department is the sole source for this contract, as The Crawford Group owns the rights to the "Flip My Florida Yard" brand and has existing relationships and resources to execute the project within the proposed budget. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide these services were requested to submit relevant information by May 16, 2022, after which the Department will determine if a single-source contract is justified.

Intended Single Source:

The Crawford Group, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

Estimated $648,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Nonpoint source pollution is a leading contributor to pollution in Florida. The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is a 29-year partnership between the University of Florida and the Department. The nine FFL principles were established in 2001 under Chapter 373.185, Florida Statutes. The mission of the FFL program is to protect and conserve Florida's natural resources through efficient landscape practices.

The Flip My Florida Yard series provides public education about and promotion for the FFL program. The series will transform 10 landscapes representing Florida geographies and demography with FFL practices. The series will also feature a “where are they now” episode revisiting landscapes from season two of Flip My Florida Yard to demonstrate landscape growth and maintenance requirements over time.

Flip My Florida Yard aims to educate (and entertain) viewers about how Florida yards can become more water efficient, attract wildlife, control stormwater runoff and reduce nonpoint

PUR 7776 (01/16) Page 12 of 13 60A-1.045, F.A.C.

source pollution. The series is designed to reach Florida audiences and educate them on simple behavior changes they can make to benefit Florida’s environment.

Crawford Entertainment is the only contractor suited to effectively execute season three of the TV series Flip My Florida Yard within the proposed budget for the following reasons:

1. Crawford Entertainment owns the rights to the brand Flip My Florida Yard. This includes the name, website, all social media channels and all associated audience/fanbase we've created since its inception. We also own all the final edited masters of Season One and Two (20 half-hour episodes) of Flip My Florida Yard and x2 Flip My Florida Yard one hour specials.

2. We've forged relationships with the brand Flip My Florida Yard with television stations, cable networks and media outlets across all Florida markets.

3. Crawford Entertainment has developed partners statewide who are willing and eager to donate their time, resources and materials at zero or very little cost. Some of our flips from season one totaled in the $25,000-$35,000 range and were executed with nearly 90% of that total expense covered through partner donations.

4. The owner of Crawford Entertainment, Chad Crawford, is the show host which eliminates the expense of casting a qualified host though a talent agency and incurring an expense that could range between $5,000 - $7500 per episode.

5. Crawford Entertainment will be releasing a survey to cast the final ten homeowners who's yards will be flipped. We expect to see between 2500-3000 submissions from all around the state. These homeowners will be narrowed down via scheduled Zoom calls.

6. In addition to the production and distributing 10 half-hour episodes we'll also be delivering the following assets to the FDEP: 10 Florida State Parks promotional segments, 10 yard science segments, 10 maintenance moment segments and a scheduled social media promotional plan.

7. Part of our distribution plan includes the release of season three on, Discover Florida Channel, owned by Crawford Entertainment, at no additional cost to the sponsor.

8. Crawford Entertainment has a deep understanding of the content which ultimately helps with planning, production and meeting client expectations.
