A. The CONSULTANT shall not commence any work in connection with this

Board of County Commissioners Regular Board Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns an agreement for a consultant to perform work for Highlands County. Before any work begins, the consultant must secure specific types of insurance, which need approval from the COUNTY’s Risk Management Division. Sub-consultants must also meet similar insurance requirements before starting their work. All insurance providers must be licensed to operate in Florida. This is a procedural step related to an upcoming project, not an open bid. The work to be performed by the consultant and sub-consultants is not detailed in this item. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to connect with the county or the identified consultant early in the process, before final plans and permits are established, to understand potential future opportunities.
