Disaster Recover and Remediation Services/Debris Monitoring

Florida Buy State Cooperative Purchasing, acting on behalf of PAEC Risk Management, is soliciting sealed proposals for Disaster Recovery and Remediation Services and Debris Monitoring Services across consortium member districts. The procurement seeks to establish indefinite quantity contracts for emergency response services related to catastrophic events like hurricanes and tornadoes, specifically focusing on FEMA-compliant disaster recovery operations. Proposers can submit for either Disaster Recovery and Remediation Services or Debris Monitoring Services, or both categories, with each being scored separately. Key deliverables include comprehensive documentation of debris removal, monitoring of recovery operations, and adherence to federal procurement standards. The evaluation criteria encompass business viability, project approach, qualifications, experience, and pricing, totaling 100 possible points. Proposals are due September 12, 2023, by 3:00 PM CT, with the initial contract term set for three years and options to renew for two additional 12-month periods. Proposers must provide detailed pricing information, including hourly rates, discounts, and labor classifications.

The solicitation allows participation from educational institutions, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations in Florida and potentially other states. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the contract includes an administrative fee of 2% payable quarterly to PAEC for contract management. The procurement aims to leverage collective purchasing power to reduce administrative costs and achieve competitive pricing for disaster recovery services. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the indefinite quantity contract structure suggests flexibility in potential contract values based on actual emergency response needs. The contract's broad scope and FEMA compliance requirements indicate that respondents should have significant experience in disaster recovery, robust operational capabilities, and established protocols for emergency response documentation and debris monitoring.
