The DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES hereby gives notice:
That on May 9th, 2024, the Department of Management Services issued an Order in response to a Petition for Waiver of paragraph 60H-1.017(1)(a), F.A.C., filed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on March 5, 2024. Paragraph 60H-1.017(1)(a), F.A.C., requires an agency to conduct one unsuccessful competitive procurement for existing space before issuing another procurement for Turnkey Lease space. Notice of the Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on March 11, 2024, in Vol. 50, No. 49.
The Order on the Petition grants the requested waiver. Petitioner demonstrated that the application of the rule would create a substantial hardship in timely acquiring the unique space needed for its vital operations, and that the waiver would achieve the underlying purpose of the statute by saving State resources, avoiding additional expenses, and providing for the best leasing value to the State.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Lauren Douglas, Agency Clerk at 4050 Esplanade Way, Suite 160, Tallahassee, FL 32399 or AgencyClerk@dms.fl.gov.
