Update the Strategic Aggregates Study

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is issuing a single source contract to Lampl Herbert Consultants to provide technical and research services related to updates to the "Strategic Aggregates Study: Sources, Constraints, and Economic Value of Limestone and Sand in Florida" previously prepared by Lampl Herbert Consultants. The updates will include information on the availability of aggregate, limestone, and sand resources at mines in Florida, aggregate resources imported to Florida, and socio-political factors that could impede access to rock. FDOT is seeking these updates as it lacks estimates on the "life of mine" permitted reserves in Florida and comprehensive knowledge of existing or emerging socio-political situations that could affect the extraction and delivery of rock and impact Florida's statewide economy. Lampl Herbert Consultants, with 54 years of experience in natural resource management assessments, is the intended sole source as the originator of the prior analysis, and FDOT believes they are the only vendor capable of providing the required updates to ensure continuity of information and build upon the previous outcomes without requiring a complete re-write of the original report. The contract value is $240,000, and the due date for this opportunity is March 16, 2023.

This is a single source contract, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond have been indicated. The incumbent vendor, Lampl Herbert Consultants, has been identified as the sole source for this contract, and FDOT has not provided any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
