Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Service

The City of Pensacola, Florida is seeking a qualified vendor to provide code enforcement special magistrate services. The agency requires a Special Magistrate to preside over quasi-judicial hearings, resolve code enforcement cases, and issue written orders. To support these proceedings, the City will designate an employee to serve as the Code Enforcement Clerk, who will handle public notices, prepare agendas, receive affidavits, and record final orders. The scope of work requires the Special Magistrate to prepare adequately for each hearing by reviewing agendas, back-up materials, and applicable state statutes. The Special Magistrate must convene hearings on a regular schedule at least once per month, provided there are cases to be heard, and issue written orders for those cases. The performance of this work will take place offsite, and the resulting contract will have a term of one year. Bidders must be located onshore within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit. Key dates for this procurement include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on July 14, 2026, and a deadline for submitting questions no later than July 20, 2026.
