About this file
This is a Single Source Justification Form submitted by the City of Jacksonville's Information Technologies Department, specifically the Technology Solutions Department in collaboration with the Duval County Tax Collector's Office. The procurement request seeks approval for a single source award to RT Lawrence Corporation for the renewal of annual maintenance and support services for the RTL First software platform, an integral component of the Duval County Tax Collector's enterprise high-speed remittance processing system used for tax billing and collection. The software automates the receipt, digitization, validation, and deposit of physical and electronic payments, replacing manual and error-prone processes with scalable, rule-based workflows. The contract period of performance is October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with the request date of November 4, 2026.
The total not-to-exceed award amount for this single source procurement is $21,403.16. The justification for the single source award is based on RT Lawrence Corporation's status as the sole owner and developer of the proprietary RTL First software platform, and as the only supplier authorized to sell, maintain, and support RTL First software and associated modules. Market research conducted by David Klages, IT Contract Administrator, confirmed no alternate sources of maintenance and support for RTL First software exist, and the supplier submitted a single source letter confirming their exclusive position as sole source for all RTL First products and services. The requesting agency has affirmed that no actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest exist with RT Lawrence Corporation, consistent with Chapter 112, Florida Statutes.
