Summary

This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the City of DeBary, Florida, regarding the procurement of a Light-Structure System with Total Light Control (TLC) for LED technology from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC for the DeBary Bill Keller Pickleball project (Project #239115). The City of DeBary has determined that this purchase qualifies as a sole source under Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) based on the necessity to reuse the existing Control-Link control and monitoring system. The procurement includes the Control-Link automated controls system, which provides remote on/off capabilities, 24/7 customer support, and performance monitoring. Key specifications include guaranteed light levels of 40 foot-candles with uniformity of 2.0/1.0, BallTracker technology for targeted lighting, and player-activated pushbutton control with strobe functionality. Responses challenging the sole source determination or proposing comparable alternatives must be submitted to Susan Perry, Purchasing Coordinator, by October 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST. The delivery timeline is estimated at 10-12 weeks from order confirmation.

The procurement is supported by Musco's comprehensive 25-year product assurance and warranty program that covers all materials and onsite labor, eliminating 100% of the City's maintenance costs. Musco's support includes access to over 170 dedicated Lighting Services Team members and a network of 1,800+ contractors for ongoing system operation and maintenance. The sole source justification emphasizes that Musco is the designer, manufacturer, and exclusive provider of the Control-Link system and all replacement components, with a warning that installing unauthorized non-Musco components may result in warranty cancellation. The notice indicates that sole sourcing decisions are valid for one year and must be re-posted and validated annually. Contact information for technical inquiries is provided through Musco's Control-Link Manager, Mike Mason, at 877/347-3319.
