Background/Explanation:
On February 3, 2020, the Purchasing Division, in accordance with CCNA requirements and on behalf of Fleet Management, released a request for proposal (RFP) to qualify professional engineering firms, with the intent to establish a contract for the highly specified service of fuel site rehabilitation services.
As this service is highly specialized, staff did not expect an abundance of vendor interest for this project. However, the market was tested through competitive solicitation which resulted in Infinity Engineering Group’s sole submittal.
The contract includes negotiated fully burdened hourly rates including all labor, direct/indirect overhead, margins/profits, and travel within the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area (TBMSA). Travel outside of the TBMSA will be reimbursed in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes.
