The City of Fort Pierce has concluded its evaluation of proposals for the lease and operation of Little Jim Bait & Tackle, determining that no submission met the mandatory criteria required for award.
The City initially received a total of five proposals. Following a thorough review by City staff and the evaluation committee, it was determined that the submissions lacked key qualifications outlined in the solicitation. As a result, all proposals were deemed non-responsive and could not be properly evaluated. This outcome underscores the City’s commitment to maintaining a fair and transparent procurement process that adheres to the standards established in its solicitations.
While the City works through the process of preparing a re-solicitation, the current vendor will continue to operate Little Jim’s under a month-to-month agreement.
