My Safe Florida Home Wind Certification Entities - Region 2

The Florida Department of Financial Services is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to establish multiple contracts for Wind Certification Entities (WCEs) in Service Region 2 to provide wind certification analysis under the My Safe Florida Home Program (MSFH Program) pursuant to Florida Statutes. The Department intends to award three WCEs for Service Region 2, which encompasses Leon County, but reserves the right to award more if it is in the best interest of the MSFH Program. The selected WCEs will be responsible for conducting hurricane mitigation inspections and providing wind certification analysis. Responses must comply with the RFP terms and conditions and are due by October 19, 2022 at 11:00 AM ET. The Department will compensate the WCEs a fixed rate of $160.00 for each completed hurricane mitigation inspection, regardless of type, and no additional compensation will be permitted.

The Department supports diversity in its procurement program and encourages firms to consider subcontracting opportunities to embrace diversity. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Department has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not provide information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range, but the Department reserves the right to award more than three contracts if it is in the best interest of the MSFH Program.
