Board of County Commissioners Meeting
May 21, 2025
Agenda Item Number:
2023-4052
BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: Fire Rescue
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: R. L. Colina
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to reject all proposals for Medical Director Services for Monroe County Fire Rescue RFQ-
588 due to the fact that the County received only one (1) response and the BOCC hereby authorizes
County Staff to negotiate a contract for professional services with that sole respondent,Antonio Gandia,
M.D., P.A. and bring a the negotiated contract back to the BOCC for final approval.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ-588) outlines the scope of services required by Monroe County
Fire Rescue tendered by a licensed physician pursuant to Chapter 458, Florida Statutes, to serve as the
Medical Director for the County. Only one (1)response was received from Mr. Antonia Gandia, M.D.
and it is the recommendation of MCFR to proceed directly to contract negotiations with that
professional services provider. This will provide a more effective and efficient process for contracting
with the sole respondent. Additionally, the Monroe County Code of Ordinances does not require
competitive bidding procedures for professional services of this kind. We conducted a RFQ to make
sure we had a transparent process and to assure a fair opportunity. Because we only had one
respondent, we recommend proceeding to negotiations.
A Sample Contract was attached the RFQ, and that will be utilized as the starting point for negotiations.
At a future meeting, MCFR will bring a contract to the BOCC that is negotiated to the satisfaction of the
parties and ready to present to the BOCC for review and ultimate approval.

On February 19, 2025 the BOCC approved advertising a Request for Qualification process for Medical
Director Services.
