The Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (the “CCNA”), set forth in section 287.055, Florida Statutes, is a benchmark in Florida government procurements that governs public works projects requiring professional services, such as architecture and engineering. However, the CCNA has not been substantively updated to address the many challenges faced by public agencies that are planning mega-projects or complex public projects using nuanced project delivery methods. Given the dearth of case law and written guidance on the CCNA, the presenters will assist public procurement professionals in navigating the CCNA and its pitfalls by explaining and – to the extent possible –recommending approaches to harmonizing the CCNA with other existing Florida procurement statutes and base legal principles in the public procurement arena, including state statutes on the procurement of P3s and Construction Managers at Risk.
