GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Deliberation Meeting for selection of Community Based Care (CBC) provider for DCF Central Region, Circuit 9.
Any person who is adversely affected by the terms, conditions and specifications contained in this Notice of Intent to Conduct Negotiations with Vendor, including any provisions governing the methods of ranking bids, proposals or replies, awarding contracts, reserving rights of further negotiation, or modifying or amending any contract shall file a notice of protest in writing within 72 hours (Saturday, Sundays and state holidays excluded) after the posting of the decision, or intended decision. The formal written protest shall be filed within 10 days after the date the notice of protest is filed. Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3), F.S., shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, F.S.
When protesting a decision or intended decision the protestor must post a bond equal to one percent (1%) of the department’s estimated contract amount. The bond is not to be filed with the notice of protest, but must be filed with the formal written protest or within the 10-day period allowed for the filing of the formal written protest. The estimated contract amount is listed in the Invitation to Negotiate number C9CBCITN2011. The estimated contract amount is not subject to protest pursuant to Section 120.57(3), F.S. The bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of all cost and charges that are adjudged against the protestor in the administrative hearing in which action is brought and in any subsequent appellate court proceeding. Failure to file the proper bond at the time of filing the formal protest will result in a rejection of the protest. In lieu of a bond the department may accept a cashier’s check, official bank check, or money order in the amount of the bond.
