My Safe Florida Home Wind Certification Entities - Region 3

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 3 to provide wind certification analysis under the My Safe Florida Home Program. The Department intends to award three WCE contracts, but reserves the right to award more if it is in the best interest of the program. The selected WCEs will be compensated a fixed rate of $160.00 for each completed hurricane mitigation inspection, regardless of type. Responses are due by October 19, 2022 at 11:00 AM ET, with an initial contract term beginning upon execution and ending on October 31, 2024, with the option to renew for up to three additional years. The Department is committed to supporting diversity in its procurement program and requests that all subcontracting opportunities reflect the state's diverse business population.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the Department reserves the right to award contracts to the entities determined to be most advantageous to the State. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range, but indicates that the Department will compensate the selected WCEs at a fixed rate of $160.00 per completed hurricane mitigation inspection.
