Districtwide Strategic Communications Consultant Services for Misc Projects in District Six

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six is seeking a Districtwide Strategic Communications Consultant to provide services for miscellaneous projects in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. The Request for Proposal (RFP) DOT-RFP-26-6197SD solicits qualified consultants to deliver comprehensive strategic communications support. The project involves providing professional services for communication strategies across district-wide initiatives, with proposals originally due on August 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM via email to D6.Purch@dot.state.fl.us. Key project milestones include oral presentations scheduled for October 15, 2025, a public opening meeting on October 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and a final selection meeting on November 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM. All meetings will be held at the FDOT District Six Main Building's Front Lobby in Miami, Florida. The addendum indicates that final documentation and award details will be posted on the Next Generation Vendor Information Portal (VIP), with the intended award to be published on November 3, 2025.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard competitive solicitation open to qualified strategic communications consulting firms. The project does not specify incumbent vendors or explicit integration requirements with existing infrastructure. No specific budget range or award value is mentioned in the addendum, though the broad scope suggests a potentially significant consulting engagement covering communication strategies for transportation-related projects in two Florida counties. Proposers are reminded of their legal obligations regarding protest procedures under Section 120.57(3) of Florida Statutes. Interested firms should carefully review all posted documents on the Vendor Information Portal and prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate expertise in strategic communications for transportation-related governmental projects. The competitive nature of the RFP implies that vendors will be evaluated on their technical capabilities, proposed approach, and demonstrated experience in similar government communication consulting roles.
