Meet Us at the FTBA Construction Symposium in Orlando
FloridaProcurements.com is heading to the 2026 FTBA Construction Symposium in Orlando on February 10-11.
If you’re attending, stop by Booth 207 and introduce yourself. I’d love to meet the contractors, engineers, and transportation professionals who follow this blog—and talk through whatever procurement challenges you’re currently facing.
Why Stop By?
As former General Counsel of the Florida Department of Transportation, I spent years on the agency side of Florida transportation. I supervised 122 legal professionals across FDOT’s seven districts, directed legal strategy for a $12 billion work program, and handled everything from bid protests to complex contract negotiations. I’ve seen how procurement decisions get made from the inside.
Now, through Gellis Law, PLLC, I’m helping contractors and transportation companies navigate procurement from the industry side. Whether you’re pursuing your first FDOT contract or your hundredth, sometimes the best insights come from someone who’s sat on both sides of the table.
What Can We Talk About?
Anything procurement-related is fair game:
- FDOT contracting strategy and pre-qualification questions
- Bid protests and administrative challenges
- Proposal development and competitive positioning
- Consultant marketing meetings and how to use them effectively
- Contract negotiations and compliance issues
- DBE certification and subcontracting requirements
No appointment necessary. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about what you’re working on and how I might be able to help.
