284DISCUSSION

285This matter is submitted for decision on the State of

295Florida, Department of Elder Affairs' ("Department") Motion to

305Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, filed July 6, 2006;

314Respondent's Motion to Relinquish Jurisdict ion Due to Lack of

324Subject Matter Jurisdiction filed by Area Agency on Aging Palm

334Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast), on

342July 6, 2006; and Intervenor Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service of

353South Palm Beach County, Inc. ("Ruth Rales") J oinder in Motion

366to Relinquish Jurisdiction Due to Lack of Subject Matter

375Jurisdiction, filed July 10, 2006; the response in opposition to

385the motions to dismiss and to relinquish jurisdiction filed by

395Mae Volen Senior Center, Inc. ("Mae Volen") on July 12 , 2006;

408the reply to Mae Volen's response filed by the Department on

419July 12, 2006; and a response to the reply filed on July 12,

4322006, by the Department, filed by Mae Volen on July 14, 2006.

444The issue presented by the Department in its motion is whether

455the Division of Administrative Hearings has subject matter

463jurisdiction to hear a bid protest submitted by the AAA Palm

474Beach/Treasure Coast.

476Simply stated, the instant case involves a challenge by Mae

486Volen to the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast's notice of intent to

497award to Ruth Rales a contract for designation as Lead Agency

508and Case Management /Case Aide pursuant to a Request for

518Proposals ("RFP") issued on February 17, 2006, by the AAA Palm

531Beach/Treasure Coast. Mae Volen, which had submitted a proposa l

541in response to the RFP, filed a Petition for Administrative

551Hearing with the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast "pursuant to

560sections 120.569, 120.57(1) and (3), Florida Statutes, and rules

56928 - 106.201(2) and 28 - 110.004, Florida Administrative Code." The

580AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast transmitted the petition to the

589Division of Administrative Hearings with a request that an

598administrative law judge be assigned "to conduct the proceeding

607in accordance with Sections 120.57(1) and 120.57(3), Florida

615Statutes. Bot h Mae Volen and AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast

625acted based on the following provision found in Attachment 12 of

636the RFP, which provided in pertinent part:

643If the protest is not resolved by mutual

651agreement within seven days . . . of receipt

660of the formal wr itten protest, and if there

669is a disputed issue of material fact, the

677formal written protest shall be referred to

684the Division of Administrative Hearings for

690further proceedings.

692Upon receipt by the Division of Administrative Hearings,

700the matter was assi gned to the undersigned, who conducted a

711telephone conference with counsel for Mae Volen and the AAA Palm

722Beach/Treasure Coast to arrange a date for the hearing. Counsel

732for the Department joined the telephone conference and stated

741that the Department int ended to file a motion to dismiss this

753administrative proceeding on the grounds that the Division of

762Administrative Hearings lacked subject matter jurisdiction to

769adjudicate the bid protest. The Department's Unopposed Petition

777to Intervene, filed for the limited purpose of challenging the

787subject matter jurisdiction of the Division of Administrative

795Hearings, was granted in an order entered July 19, 2006. Oral

806argument was heard from all parties during the telephone hearing

816on July 13, 2006.

820Having consid ered all of the written pleadings submitted

829with respect to the subject matter jurisdiction of the Division

839of Administrative Hearings to conduct an administrative hearing

847in this case and the arguments of counsel during the hearing,

858the Department's Motio n to Dismiss for Lack of Subject Matter

869Jurisdiction is granted because AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast is

878not an "agency" for purposes of the Administrative Procedures

887Act, Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The jurisdiction of

895administrative law judges employ ed by the Division of

904Administrative Hearings is limited to conducting "hearings

911required by this chapter or other law" and conducting hearings

"921on a contract basis to any governmental entity . . . not

933covered by this section." § 120.65(4) and (7), Fla. S tat. 1

945The AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast is a private entity that

955is designated by, and is under contract with, the Department to

966provide services to the elderly pursuant to Section 20.41,

975Florida Statutes, which provides in pertinent part:

982(5) The departm ent shall be the state unit

991on aging as defined in the federal Older

999Americans Act of 1965, as amended, and shall

1007exercise all responsibilities pursuant to

1012that act.

1014(6) In accordance with the federal Older

1021Americans Act of 1965, as amended, the

1028departmen t shall designate and contract with

1035area agencies on aging in each of the

1043department's planning and service areas.

1048Area agencies on aging shall ensure a

1055coordinated and integrated provision of

1060long - term care services to the elderly and

1069shall ensure the pr ovision of prevention and

1077early intervention services. The department

1082shall have overall responsibility for

1087information system planning. The department

1092shall ensure, through the development of

1098equipment, software, data, and connectivity

1103standards, the ab ility to share and

1110integrate information collected and reported

1115by the area agencies in support of their

1123contracted obligations to the state.

1128(7) The department shall contract with the

1135governing body, hereafter referred to as the

"1142board," of an area agen cy on aging to

1151fulfill programmatic and funding

1155requirements. The board shall be

1160responsible for the overall direction of the

1167agency's programs and services and shall

1173ensure that the agency is administered in

1180accordance with the terms of its contract

1187with the department, legal requirements,

1192established agency policy, and effective

1197management principles. The board shall also

1203ensure the accountability of the agency to

1210the local communities included in the

1216planning and service area of the agency.

1223(8) The a rea agency on aging board shall,

1232in consultation with the secretary, appoint

1238a chief executive officer, hereafter

1243referred to as the "executive director," to

1250whom shall be delegated responsibility for

1256agency management and for implementation of

1262board polic y, and who shall be accountabl e

1271for the agency's performance.

1275(9) Area agencies on aging are subject to

1283chapter 119, relating to public records,

1289and, when considering any contracts

1294requiring the expenditure of funds, are

1300subject to ss. 286.011 - 286.01 2, r elating to

1310public meetings.

1312The statutory provisions under which the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure

1321Coast's RFP was issued are found in Sections 430.201 - .207,

1332Florida Statutes, the Community Care for the Elderly Act. An

"1342area agency on aging" is defined in Sect ion 430.203(1), Florida

1353Statutes, as

1355a public or non - profit private agency or

1364office designated by the department to

1370coordinate and administer the department's

1375programs and to provide, through contracting

1381agencies, services within a planning and

1387service ar ea. An area agency on aging

1395serves as both the advocate and the visible

1403focal point in its planning and service area

1411to foster the development of comprehensive

1417and coordinated service systems to serve

1423older individuals.

1425An "agency," for purposes of the A dministrative Procedures

1434Act, is defined in Section 120.52(1), Florida Statutes, in

1443pertinent part, as follows:

1447(1) "Agency" means:

1450(a) The Governor in the exercise of all

1458executive powers other than those derived

1464from the constitution.

1467(b) Each:

14691. State officer and state department, and

1476each departmental unit described in

1481s. 20.04.

14832. Authority, including a regional water

1489supply authority.

14913. Board.

14934. Commission, including the Commission on

1499Ethics and the Fish and Wildlife

1505Conservation Commi ssion when acting pursuant

1511to statutory authority derived from the

1517Legislature.

15185. Regional planning agency.

15226. Multicounty special district with a

1528majority of its governing board comprised of

1535nonelected persons.

15377. Educational units.

15408. Entity des cribed in chapters 163, 373,

1548380, and 582 and s. 186.504.

1554(c) Each other unit of government in the

1562state, including counties and

1566municipalities, to the extent they are

1572expressly made subject to this act by

1579general or special law or existing judicial

1586deci sions.

1588The AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast does not fall within any

1598of the categories set forth in Section 120.52(1)(a) or (b),

1608Florida Statutes. Nothing in Section 20.41, Florida Statutes,

1616or in Section 430.203, Florida Statutes, expressly makes the

1625AAA P alm Beach/Treasure Coast subject to Chapter 120, Florida

1635Statutes, and Mae Volen did not cite any judicial decision in

1646which the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast was expressly made

1655subject to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. In addition, in

1664Section 20.41(9), F lorida Statutes, the Florida Legislature

1672expressly made area agencies on aging subject to the Florida

1682Public Records Act, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and to the

1692public - meeting requirements of Sections 286.011 through .012,

1701Florida Statutes, " when [an ar ea agency on aging is ] considering

1713any contracts requiring the expenditure of funds ." Had the

1723Legislature wanted to make area agencies on aging subject to the

1734public procurement laws in Chapter 287, Florida, or to the

1744procedures set forth in Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, it could

1754have expressly done so. Finally, the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure

1763Coast cannot contract with the Division of Administrative

1771Hearings to assign administrative law judges to conduct hearings

1780to resolve protests involving its requests f or proposals because

1790it is not a governmental entity, nor can it establish a

1801procurement procedure in which bid protests involving disputed

1809issues of material fact can be referred to the Division of

1820Administrative Hearings.

1822CONCLUSION

1823Based on the foregoi ng, it is ORDERED that the Petition for

1835Administrative Hearing is dismissed because the Division of

1843Administrative Hearings does not have subject matter

1850jurisdiction over bid protests arising out of the RFP issued on

1861February 16, 2006, by the AAA Palm Beac h/Treasure Coast.

1871DONE AND ORDERED this 21st day of July, 2006, in

1881Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.
