At the end of existing proviso language, INSERT:

In order to properly store, manage, maintain, and deploy emergency 
supplies during emergency activations and responses, the Division of 
Emergency Management shall solicit procurement proposals for the lease, 
acquisition, or construction of warehouse storage space as well as an 
inventory management solution. Proposals must be from experienced 
providers who can demonstrate successful past performance of projects 
similar in size, scope, and complexity. Proposals should address:

1.  The integration and colocation of the Division of Emergency 
Management and the Department of Health warehouses into a new, 
fully-licensed and regulatory-compliant warehouse footprint with 
facilities at various geographic locations that meet the state's 
strategic needs for safety and distribution.
2. The capability of the warehouse facilities to store emergency 
supplies, including food and water, health and medical supplies, and 
medical equipment, including personal protective equipment, in the

correct environment with appropriate security, temperature, and humidity 
controls and in compliance with licensing and regulatory standards. 
Facility square footage shall be sufficient to access, maintain, 
inventory and distribute such supplies, which includes a PPE inventory 
pursuant to section 252.35(2)(u), Florida Statutes. 
3. A staffing plan that ensures facility staff have appropriate 
knowledge, skills, and training to maintain, organize, identify, and 
package all types of emergency supplies, including medical equipment.
4. An inventory management system that tracks and traces, in real-time, 
the state's emergency supplies. The system must be able to track the 
number, type, location, and expiration date of supplies in real-time; 
facilitate the regular testing, maintenance, and rotation of supplies 
and equipment; and provide real-time reporting to assist in the state's 
emergency response.

Proposals should identify the one-time and on-going costs associated 
with site selection and preparation, design and construction, 
retrofitting or renovations, leasing, utilities, software, and staffing, 
as appropriate. A proposal for an inventory management system is not 
required to be bundled with a proposal for the lease, acquisition, or 
construction of warehouse storage space. The Division shall develop a 
report that summarizes the proposals received; compares the costs and 
benefits of the proposals to the existing storage model; and identifies 
the most appropriate and cost-effective solution. The report shall be 
submitted to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker 
of the House of Representatives by January 15, 2023.
