Building Code Administrator Services

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to secure Responsive Bids from Responsible Vendors to provide building code plan examinations, permitting, inspections, and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy (C.O.) for the Department's building projects across the state. The ITB specifies the required services, including plan evaluations, permitting, inspections, and C.O. issuance, to be provided by certified Building Code Administrators (BCAs). The Department seeks Responsive Bids from Responsible Vendors and will award contracts based on the lowest Grand Total Price per Region. The contracts will be for an initial three-year term with up to three additional one-year renewal options. The ITB includes detailed pricing sheets for various plan evaluation, permitting, and inspection services, with estimated annual quantities provided for each Region of the state. Vendors must bid on all services within each Region for their Bid to be considered responsive. The ITB also outlines performance measures and financial consequences for non-compliance, as well as special conditions regarding records retention, security requirements, and E-Verify obligations. Bids are due by October 13, 2022.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current FDC contract for these services can be found online, but no details are provided on existing contract fee schedules or project lists. The total award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the available information.
