About this opportunity
The City of Altamonte Springs is pursuing a single-source procurement for digital twin feature set development with England, Thims & Miller (ETM) through the Altamonte Global Innovation Lab (AGiL). The procurement seeks to develop initial digital twin feature sets for city departments, creating virtual representations of real-world infrastructure and processes. Key objectives include continuing foundational digital twin work, establishing a virtual environment, and conducting use case workshops across city operational departments. The procurement specifically targets technology development that will transform how the city designs, monitors, and manages its infrastructure and services. The solicitation was posted on February 4, 2025, with a response deadline of 4:30 p.m. on February 7, 2025, during which interested vendors could submit alternate solutions that overcome the sole-source justification. Evaluation appears to prioritize vendors with deep familiarity with the city's existing infrastructure and geospatial systems. The contract term spans from the current date through September 30, 2027, with potential for comprehensive digital transformation of city operational processes.
The procurement does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The incumbent and proposed vendor is England, Thims & Miller (ETM), with a key justification for their selection being that their Geospatial Program Manager is the city's former GIS Manager. The contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $125,000 annually, totaling $375,000 over the full contract period, with payment and performance obligations for fiscal years after 2024-25 subject to funding availability. The existing infrastructure includes preliminary digital twin work and geospatial systems that require continued development and integration. No alternative vendor responses were received during the solicitation period, which strengthens ETM's position as the recommended single-source provider. The procurement requires City Commission approval due to exceeding the $50,000 formal solicitation threshold, with final contract execution contingent upon City Attorney review and mayoral authorization.
