Foreclosure Property Registration Services - REBID

Pinellas County, Florida is seeking a service provider for Foreclosure Property Registration Services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) released on August 3, 2023. The procurement aims to create, administer, and maintain a foreclosure registry database for the County's Code Enforcement Department, stemming from a 2016 ordinance designed to return foreclosed properties to functional neighborhood status. The contract will have an initial term of 60 months with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. Proposal submissions are due by August 17, 2023 at 3:00 pm, with all questions required to be submitted by August 10, 2023. The evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess proposals across four key areas: Competency & Experience (40% of total points), Qualifications (30%), Compensation (20%), and No Exceptions to RFP (10%). Potential contractors must provide detailed information about their qualifications, experience, proposed methods, and a comprehensive statement of work for managing the foreclosure property registration system.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The county previously contracted with Community Champions in February 2017 to establish the registry, during which nearly 2,000 properties were initially registered. Historical data indicates that in 2017, 410 properties were deregistered, and in 2018, eight properties were added to the registry while 39 were deregistered. While precise budget ranges were not specified, the solicitation indicates the contract is revenue-generating, suggesting potential financial opportunities for the selected vendor. The RFP notes that pricing will be negotiable, implying flexibility in the potential contract value. Interested vendors should carefully review the full RFP document to understand the comprehensive requirements and expectations for managing the foreclosure property registration system.
