Roadway Signage Maintenance (Tribal-wide)

The Seminole Tribe of Florida has issued Request for Proposal (RFP 65-2025) for comprehensive roadway signage maintenance services across seven tribal reservations located in Big Cypress, Brighton, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Immokalee, Lakeland, and Tampa. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide all necessary personnel, tools, equipment, materials, and services for signage maintenance, including single-post and multi-post sign installation, removal, relocation, repair, and maintenance of electronic speed feedback and flashing LED stop signs. Key deliverables include furnishing location-specific signage services with each work authorization capped at $250,000. The RFP was released on October 30, 2025, with questions due by November 14, 2025, and proposal submissions required by November 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time through BidNet Direct. Evaluation criteria include a 35-point scoring system: 15 points for cost, 5 points for qualifications, 10 points for experience, and 5 points for project references. Respondents must have a minimum of 10 years of principal experience, meet specific licensure requirements, and carry adequate insurance.

The procurement includes a 5% point preference for Seminole Tribal Member and STOFI-owned businesses, creating a potential advantage for local and tribal enterprises. The contract will be a one-year agreement with options for two additional one-year renewals, allowing flexibility for both the Tribe and the selected vendor. Successful bidders must complete a vendor registration process, which includes a background investigation to ensure compliance with gaming regulations. The Tribe reserves the right to select one or multiple vendors and may negotiate pricing and terms. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, individual work authorizations are limited to $250,000, suggesting a potential total contract value that could range between $500,000 and $1,500,000 depending on the number of authorizations and renewals.
