Attachment: RFP- BCC Restore Act Mgmt (02-18-2013) (1423 : Restore Act Consulting Services RFP) Occupying a large portion of Okaloosa County is one of the world’s largest military reservations. Established in 1935, Eglin Air Force Base covers over 724 square miles in Okaloosa and two neighboring counties and contains the 919th Special Operations Wing, Duke Field. Eglin Air Force Base, the Air Armament Center, is responsible for development, acquisition, testing, deployment and sustainment of all United States Air Force air-delivered weapons. Eglin’s wide range of activities assures its continued role in the defense of the United States and in the economy of Okaloosa County. Hurlburt Field, the headquarters of the Air Force Special Operations, is also located in Okaloosa County. Hurlburt Field occupies about 6,000 acres in the County. The military presence is the major income producing source for the County. The Tourist Development Council/Convention Visitor’s Bureau (TDC/CVB) registered hundreds of thousands of inquiries throughout the year. Tourists may visit Okaloosa County’s Visitor Welcome Center, which is located on Okaloosa Island just off State Highway 98, for information on all local activities, area information, sightseeing and all other things to do during their visit. The Visitor’s Center logged over thousands of visits while the web site for TDC/CVB showed many more hundreds of thousands of hits. The tourism industry is the second leading income producing source for the County. The effect of the industry on the local economy is more than $1 billion income produced annually with the employment of 35,000+ in tourism related businesses. Residents and tourists in Okaloosa County have a full range of natural attractions and recreational opportunities. Mile after mile of beautiful snow-white beaches and emerald-green waters attract boating enthusiasts, swimmers, skiers, surfers, skin-divers, and scuba divers. Some of the largest concentrations of fighting game fish congregate off Destin’s coast. Party and charter boats make daily runs to favorite fishing reefs. Piers and bridges on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, inland bays and fresh water in lakes and streams provide excellent fishing opportunities. Golfing, at numerous magnificent courses around the area, sailing, and camping are other year- round activities. The hunter may try for deer, turkey, quail, dove, duck, and wild hog in the game management areas of the northern part of the County.
