Bid Title:	LEASE AND OPERATIONS OF LITTLE JIM BAIT & TACKLE
Category:	Bid
Status:	Open

Description: The City of Fort Pierce (“City”) has issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to interested and qualified entities for the Lease and Operation of Little Jim Bait and Tackle. The City of Fort Pierce is pleased to issue this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the lease and operation of Little Jim Bait and Tackle, a property of historic significance and a cherished community asset. The goal of this RFP is to identify a qualified tenant who will not only preserve and protect the property but also operate the facility in a professional and high-quality manner. With the current lease nearing expiration, the City invites proposals that demonstrate respect for the historic nature of the site while adhering to community standards. There will be a voluntary Pre-Submission Meeting followed by a site-visit on March 27, 2025, at 10:00 am at Little Jim Bait & Tackle located at 601 North Causeway, Fort Pierce, FL  34949. Attendance is not required but encouraged ANTI-LOBBYING PROVISION Upon the issuance of this solicitation, or during renegotiation of an existing contract, no prospective offerors/proposers or their agents, representatives or persons acting at the request of such offerors/proposers shall contact, communicate with, or discuss, either in person, by phone, email or text message, any matter relating to the solicitation or the renegotiation with any City officers, agents or employees (including the City Commission and City Manager) other than the procurement official or procurement agent designated in the solicitation, unless otherwise provided for in the solicitation or otherwise directed by the procurement official. This prohibition includes copying such persons on written communications with the procurement agent, but does not apply to presentations made to evaluation committees or at a City Commission meeting where the City Commission is considering approval of a proposed contract. This prohibition ends upon issuance of a purchase order or execution of the final contract, or when the solicitation has been canceled or the renegotiation efforts are terminated. Renegotiation will be deemed to have commenced upon vote of the City Commission directing renegotiation or on issuance of a written notice from the procurement official to the existing contractor instituting a renegotiation process. Failure of vendors seeking to conduct, or potentially interested in conducting business with the City to strictly adhere to this section will result in the offender’s bid, proposal or response being disqualified from further consideration, and may also result in the suspension or debarment of the offending vendor.
