Strategic Intermodal System Supply Chain Demands

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information on proposed projects that can provide increased capacity and enhanced capabilities to move and store construction aggregate as part of the Strategic Intermodal System supply chain. FDOT is specifically interested in information from seaports, rail lines, and rail facilities on their current or proposed abilities, including the location and market share of the project, the source and type of aggregate, and how the project fills existing gaps in Florida's supply chain. Respondents are requested to describe how the proposed project facilitates the cost-effective and efficient movement and storage of construction aggregate, the extent to which the project interacts with and supports the transportation network, and the additional capacity created by the project. A project location map or site layout must be included as part of the response. The Department may contact respondents that fully address the questions to discuss the submitted information in more detail, and the information obtained in response to this RFI may be used to develop scope and solicitation documents for future procurements at the discretion of FDOT. Respondents to this RFI will remain eligible for any subsequent contract with the agency.

This RFI is for informational purposes only and will not be considered as offers to be accepted by the agency to form a binding contract. Any information provided via this RFI and during the meetings will be subject to public disclosure as defined by F.S. Chapter 119. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the Department has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The Department has not provided any details on possible award values or budget ranges.
