About this file

This is an internal email chain regarding the legal review and approval of Invitation to Bid (ITB) TDD 53-26 for Charter Boat Services from Okaloosa County, Florida. The correspondence, dated May 12, 2026, involves CeCelia VandenBroeck (Contracts & Lease Coordinator, Okaloosa County Purchasing Department), Lynn Hoshihara (County Attorney), and Kerry Parsons. The solicitation is being managed through the OpenGov system, and the Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department is seeking charter boat services on an as-needed basis to support coastal resource management activities, including public and private artificial reef monitoring, invasive species detection and control, water quality monitoring, and fish aggregating device maintenance. Services will be coordinated by the Coastal Resource Manager.

The email chain documents the legal review process for the ITB template, with the County Attorney identifying missing provisions and requesting corrections prior to posting. VandenBroeck acknowledged that the ITB template lacked General Bid Conditions and committed to correcting this deficiency. The County Attorney approved the ITB after the Contracts & Lease Coordinator uploaded the updated version to OpenGov. No specific pricing, bid submission deadlines, contract term, award date, or other substantive procurement details are provided in this internal correspondence.
