Building code permitting services for toll equipment buildings turnpike wide

The State of Florida Department of Transportation, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise is soliciting written bids from qualified bidders to establish a contract for building code permitting services for toll equipment buildings across the Turnpike system in Florida. The contract will involve plan review, permit issuance, inspections, and certificate of occupancy issuance for these toll facilities, which typically house electronic tolling equipment in 12'6" x 21' precast concrete structures. The contract term is anticipated to be four years, with two vendors selected. Bids are due by April 2, 2024, and a pre-bid conference will be held on March 19, 2024. The Department intends to award contracts to the two responsive and responsible bidders submitting the lowest bids. Pricing for the services will be based on a menu of pre-defined pay items, and the contract does not include a minimum guaranteed amount of work.

The Department encourages small, minority, women, and service-disabled veteran business participation, and bidders must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace system. The total value of the contract has not been specified, but the Department is seeking to establish two contracts for these services across the Turnpike system. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified, and the Department does not require the integration of any existing infrastructure or technology.
