Rapid Incident Scene Clearance (RISC) Program-Sector 8

The Florida Department of Transportation is seeking qualified vendors to provide rapid incident scene clearance services under the RISC Program for Sector 7, with solicitation DOT-RFP-26-8017-RM open for proposals from May 19, 2026, through May 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Performance is expected to occur across the State of Florida, focusing on prompt response and clearance of traffic incidents on designated state highways to enhance safety and mobility. The procurement operates under a trade-off evaluation method, where proposals are scored across five undisclosed criteria with point values assigned to determine the highest-ranked offeror; the award may be made to the second-lowest responder if the top proposal fails to meet requirements or contains irregularities, and the Department retains the right to reject all submissions. Although the contract value, pricing details, and specific financial terms are not disclosed, compliance with Florida Statutes Chapter 120 is required, and contractors must demonstrate 24/7 operational readiness, adequate staffing, equipment availability, and adherence to FDOT incident management protocols without explicit citations to external technical or safety standards like MUTCD or FMCSA. The submission requires no specified format, page limits, or file types, and while no formal attachments, packaging, or marking instructions are listed, mandatory compliance with bonding and insurance conditions is implied through procedural warnings. No unique entity identifiers, small business status certifications, socioeconomic designations, or affirmative reporting obligations are evident in the proposal submissions reviewed, and no contracting officer, COR, COTR, or payment and invoicing procedures are identified in the documentation—all critical administrative roles and financial instructions remain unspecified, leaving significant operational and compliance responsibilities to be formalized after award.
