Commodity or Service Required (commodity class and group, manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate):

60104400 Geology earth science

81151700 Geology

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): John Shoucair, State Materials Office

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc.

requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

Provide technical and research services related to updates to the "Strategic Aggregates Study: Sources, Constraints, and Economic Value of Limestone and Sand in Florida" prepared by Lampl Herbert Consultants.

The report documents the availability of aggregate, limestone, and sand resources at mines in Florida;

aggregate resources imported to Florida and identified socio-political factors that could impede access to rock.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): Lampl Herbert Consultants

Price: $240,000.00

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): The Department requires specific updates to the prior analysis "Strategic Aggregates Study: Sources, Constraints, and Economic Value of

Limestone and Sand in Florida", which described the movement of aggregates from mine to FDOT construction sites; identified a collection of socio-political situations that could affect FDOT construction plans, and modeled the potential effect of supply chain disruption on Florida's statewide economy.

FDOT has since developed a database to predict rock available at mines in or imported to Florida and to track the agency's demand. FDOT lacks, however, estimates as to "life of mine" permitted reserves in Florida or comprehensive knowledge of existing and/or emerging socio-political situations, either of which could threaten extraction and/or delivery of rock and, in the broader sense, trigger statewide economic consequences. Without these kinds of data, FDOT's ability to foresee and plan strategically is limited, and the agency is left to react to situations defined by other forces. As the author of the original study, it is necessary to engage the services of the same vendor to provide updates, to ensure continuity of information, build upon
