The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners encourages participation from all business segments, including small businesses, minority-owned and women-owned businesses, and disadvantaged business enterprises, with no discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sex, or age. All tenants must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, business auto liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and aircraft liability insurance of $1,000,000, with Santa Rosa County listed as additional insured and loss payee on all policies. The lease agreement establishes an initial term of twenty-four (24) months commencing upon issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, with an option to renew for one six-month term upon mutual written agreement, followed by automatic month-to-month renewal thereafter; respondents must propose their own lease terms, base rent per square foot annually, escalation structure, and total projected revenue over the initial lease term. The County reserves the right to waive irregularities in proposals, reject any or all proposals for documented reasons, and award based on its determination of best interest rather than lowest cost alone. No specific contract value, award amount, or budget range is disclosed in the available procurement documentation, as lease rates and financial terms are to be proposed competitively by respondents.
