About this opportunity
Broward County's Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau (GFLCVB) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Water Taxi Transportation Services, specifically seeking to procure services from Water Taxi of Fort Lauderdale LLC. The RFI aims to determine if the required transportation services are available from multiple providers or if alternative services could meet the county's needs. The primary objective is to secure reliable and efficient water taxi services primarily for conference and tradeshow attendees. This procurement opportunity is focused on transportation services within the Fort Lauderdale area, with a specific emphasis on supporting conference and visitor mobility. The RFI was posted on October 1, 2025, with responses due by October 8, 2025, through an electronic bidding system. Vendors are requested to provide detailed information about their capabilities, including documentation that demonstrates their ability to meet or exceed the county's transportation service requirements. The Director of Purchasing will have sole authority in evaluating vendor responses and determining comparability of services.
The RFI does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Water Taxi of Fort Lauderdale LLC is currently identified as the proposed sole or reasonable source for these transportation services. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the documentation. Vendors are encouraged to upload supporting information through the electronic bidding system to help the county assess service comparability and availability. The procurement process allows potential vendors to contest the proposed RFI designation by providing alternative service proposals. The Director of Purchasing will make the final determination on whether to designate the service as a sole source, and this decision will not be subject to further objection, protest, or appeal. Interested vendors must carefully review the requirements and submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their service capabilities within the specified timeframe.
