About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Legal Services for Procurement and Purchasing at Orlando International Airport, seeking to retain an attorney or law firm to serve as dedicated Procurement and Purchasing Department Counsel. The five-year contract, commencing on December 1, 2023, requires the selected legal provider to advise the Aviation Authority on purchasing and procurement matters, ensure compliance with applicable laws, attend Procurement Committee meetings, review board meeting agenda items, and coordinate with the Authority's General Counsel. Key deliverables include providing day-to-day legal counsel for purchasing decisions and maintaining comprehensive legal oversight of procurement processes. The RFP was released on August 21, 2023, with critical deadlines including September 1, 2023, for submitting questions and September 12, 2023, at 11:00 AM EST as the proposal submission deadline via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. Evaluation will be conducted by an Ad Hoc Committee, with potential interviews of top-ranked respondents, focusing on firm experience, key personnel qualifications, references, transition plan, and comprehensive documentation.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposed hourly billable rates are structured across different legal professional tiers: Specialty Counsel at $405/hour, Partners at $345/hour, Associates at $265/hour, and Paralegals at $165/hour. The contract will be non-exclusive, allowing GOAA to potentially engage other legal service providers concurrently. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating general liability, workers' compensation, and professional errors and omissions coverage. The agreement includes a termination clause permitting either party to end the contract with 30 days' notice. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the multi-year nature of the contract and tiered billing structure suggest a potentially significant investment in legal procurement support. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the provided documentation, and there are no specific references to existing technological infrastructure requiring integration.
