The agency shall provide the estimated contract amount to the Respondent within seventy-two (72) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, after the filing of the notice of protest by the Respondent.

In lieu of a bond, the department or agency may, in either case, accept a cashier's check, official bank check, or money order in the amount of the bond.

Question #2 Good afternoon, I am a single proprietor PLLC with a specialty in sex offense specific evaluations and treatment. I am interested in creating a proposal for RFP 10825 for the provision of psychosexual evaluations and treatment to juveniles in Seminole, Volusia, and Orange counties (my office is centrally located in Seminole county). However, before I started to work on this, I wanted to check and make sure that a single proprietor would be considered or if this RFP was only intended for larger organizations to bid on.
