About this opportunity
Brevard County is seeking qualified contractors to provide non-motorized eco watercraft tour concessions at two specific locations: Manatee Cove Park and Kelly Park East in Merritt Island, Florida. The Request for Proposal (RFP-4-25-04) aims to select vendors who can operate seven-day-a-week guided eco-tours using non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and standup paddleboards. Contractors must provide all necessary equipment, safety gear, and adhere to U.S. Coast Guard requirements, with a maximum of 20 watercraft at Manatee Cove Park and 30 watercraft at Kelly Park East. The contract will be effective for two years from execution, with potential extensions up to a total of five years. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point system considering factors like related experience, service approach, equipment quality, and proposed annual fee, with the highest acceptable bid receiving 20 points in the pricing category. The proposal submission deadline is April 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with a public selection committee meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025, at the Brevard County Government Center.
Five contractors have submitted proposals for this opportunity: A Day Away Adventure LLC, Brady-Yaks Tours and Rentals LLC, BK Adventure LLC, Calypso Kayaking LLC, and Sunny Nights Kayak Tours. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must meet stringent requirements, including mandatory background screenings for all employees, maintaining liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, and providing patron waivers. The minimum annual user fee is $3,600 per location, with the county reserving the right to award contracts to multiple providers. Each location will be limited to two unique contractors, and proposals must be for guided eco-tours only, with no standalone watercraft rentals permitted. Contractors must also comply with environmental guidelines, protect the ecosystem, and ensure harmonious interactions with other park users. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the annual permit fees and operational requirements suggest a moderate-scale commercial opportunity focused on sustainable, educational eco-tourism experiences.
