About this opportunity

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking to contract with The Crawford Group, dba Crawford Entertainment, for the production of Season Four of the "Flip My Florida Yard" (FMFY) television series. The FMFY series promotes the Florida-Friendly Landscaping (FFL) program, a partnership between the DEP and the University of Florida, and focuses on educating viewers about the 9 FFL principles through landscape "flip" segments and showcases. Season Four will consist of 7 episodes featuring 14 landscape flips and 7 showcases. Crawford Entertainment owns the rights to the FMFY brand and previous seasons. The contract term is from July 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, with a total project cost of $750,000. Prospective vendors have until June 13, 2024 to provide information demonstrating their ability to provide these services, after which the DEP will determine if Crawford Entertainment is the sole source.

This is a single-source procurement, as Crawford Entertainment is uniquely positioned to continue the FMFY series in alignment with the DEP's principles for the FFL program. The DEP will have digital rights to the content but not broadcast distribution rights. Crawford Entertainment will be responsible for all production-related expenses, and the DEP will review and approve all materials prior to distribution. The primary driver for this single-source procurement is the mitigation of nonpoint source pollution through the FFL program, which Crawford Entertainment has successfully promoted through the previous seasons of the FMFY series.
