This document is a Selection Committee Consolidated Evaluation Scoresheet for Brevard County's Environmentally Endangered Lands (EELs) Land Acquisition Services Request for Qualifications (RFQ-4-25-09). The procurement seeks qualified land acquisition agents for a potential five-year contract, with proposals due on February 20, 2025, and a selection committee meeting held on February 25, 2025, at 12:30 PM. Two firms were evaluated during the meeting: Realty Capital Advisors and The Conservation Fund, with the evaluation process involving individual committee member scoring across multiple criteria.

The evaluation resulted in The Conservation Fund ranking first with 3 total points, compared to Realty Capital Advisors' 6 points. A motion was made by Mike Knight and seconded by Virginia Barker to move into negotiations with the highest-ranked firm (The Conservation Fund). The procurement is supported by a $3 million bond approved by Brevard County citizens in November 2022, specifically targeting land acquisition for wildlife habitat, wetlands, woodlands, and lands protecting the Indian River Lagoon and St. Johns River. The document indicates that the county encourages prompt and fair handling of complaints and disputes, with any such issues to be filed in accordance with procedures specified in the bid documents.
