Continuing Contract for the Northwest Region – AE Environmental Services

The State of Florida, through the Department of Management Services (DMS), Division of Real Estate Development and Management, is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Continuing Contract for Architect-Engineering Environmental Services in the Northwest Florida Region. The selected firm(s) will provide environmental services, including asbestos, lead, indoor air quality, mold, and industrial hygiene, for new construction, remodeling, and repair of existing occupied buildings. The firm(s) must be licensed in Florida, have an Asbestos Consultant firm certification, a Certified Industrial Hygienist on staff, and current Lead Accreditation Credentials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The contract will be awarded to the most qualified firm(s) based on their experience, approach, and ability to perform the required services. Responses are due by October 20, 2022, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and the Department will negotiate with the most highly qualified firm(s) in accordance with Florida Statutes.

The RFQ covers a two-year contract term with a two-year renewal option, and the Department has decided to withdraw the initial RFQ and proceed to negotiate an exceptional purchase pursuant to Section 287.057(6), Florida Statutes, in lieu of re-soliciting. This is not an award under the withdrawn RFQ, and the Department intends to negotiate the best terms and conditions for the State of Florida. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the Department has not provided any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors. The Department has also not specified any award values or budget ranges for this contract opportunity.
