Trucking Services

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is seeking a contractor to provide secure statewide trucking services to transport juvenile records from warehouses to locations in Orlando and Tallahassee, Florida. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) specifies that the contractor must have a minimum of 5 years' experience as a licensed moving and trucking contractor and provide properly trained personnel. The contractor will be responsible for picking up, transporting, and delivering the records, which are to be palletized and shrink wrapped. The contractor must primarily operate during business hours Monday through Friday, with weekend availability upon 3 days' notice. Pricing is structured as an hourly rate for each type of trucking service, with costs provided for specific origin and destination pairings. The contract term is for an initial 3-year period with optional 3-year renewals, and the Department may cancel the contract at any time without penalty. The contractor will be subject to financial consequences for failing to meet contract requirements or for damaged or lost records.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Q&A document indicates that the contract is for the state of Florida, specifically the jurisdictions of Leon County and the City of Tallahassee, but does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, or the available budget range for the contract.
