Significant Natural Area Mapping and Combination Phase I ESA / BD Report Services

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Significant Natural Area Mapping and Combination Phase I Environmental Site Assessment/Baseline Documentation Report services. The RFP seeks contractors to prepare maps of Significant Natural Areas on properties, conduct environmental site assessments and baseline documentation reports, and submit the required deliverables. The scope of work includes projects across the state of Florida, specifically in Leon County and Tampa City. The contract will have an initial five-year term with a three-year renewal option. Vendors must submit a fixed price proposal, which will be evaluated and scored based on the technical response, relevant experience, and price. FDACS intends to award up to five contracts to the top-ranked vendors whose proposals are determined to be the most advantageous to the state. The proposal due date is March 4, 2024, and a public meeting for opening proposals is scheduled for March 5, 2024.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but respondents must submit a fixed rate for the entire contract period, including the initial and renewal terms.
