Rapid Incident Scene Clearance (RISC) For District Two May Award

The Florida Department of Transportation issued solicitation DOT-ITN-26-2029-JB-AD for Rapid Incident Scene Clearance (RISC) services in District Two under NAICS code 78141505, targeting vendors capable of providing timely and effective incident response across the state. The solicitation, posted on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of May 1, 2026, seeks qualified offerors to support statewide emergency scene clearance operations, though specific technical requirements, deliverables, performance periods, or pricing structures are not detailed in the available documentation. The procurement follows a phased evaluation and negotiation process in which offerors submit qualifications packages, and those deemed most advantageous to the state are shortlisted for further review; shortlisted vendors may be invited to present technical proposals or conduct oral presentations to demonstrate their capability to meet the scope of services. The contract will be awarded to the highest-ranked vendor that reaches an acceptable agreement with the Department, with successive ranked vendors considered if negotiations with prior candidates fail, and no binding contract is formed until a written agreement is fully executed by both parties. The place of performance is statewide in Florida, with no specific delivery schedules, FOB terms, or inspection criteria outlined. While the solicitation indicates that vendors must comply with bonding and insurance requirements, the exact types, limits, or conditions for these requirements are not specified, and no additional special contract terms such as security clearances, key personnel designations, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are provided. The procurement is not subject to any identified set-aside programs, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic data from respondents are documented. The Florida Department of Transportation, through point of contact Jake Boozer, retains full discretion in evaluating proposals and negotiating terms. Although the estimated contract value is not disclosed, the process emphasizes qualitative assessment of vendor qualifications and operational readiness over competitive pricing, reflecting a focus on performance capability and alignment with state safety objectives for incident clearance.
