Public Agencies & Procurement Teams
Proven Cultural Resources Experience in the Public Sector
It’s common for public projects to come with layers of requirements, from procurement and agency standards to environmental review and compliance. ACI has spent 50 years working within that landscape, supporting municipalities, counties, and state and federal agencies on projects that require our expertise in cultural resources — and prowess with advanced technology.
Decades of Partnership With Florida's Public Agencies
ACI has earned the trust of public agencies and procurement teams by understanding that every project comes with its own standards, requirements, and responsibilities — and our team has been their choice for cultural resource expertise for decades. Our experience spans municipalities, counties, and state and federal agencies, including FDOT, NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the City of St. Augustine, and law enforcement, giving our team the perspective to navigate a variety of complex projects.
