1-CAB Sales Tax Exemption Certificate.pdf

This document is a Sales Tax Exemption Certificate issued by the State of Florida for use by Broward County Transportation (BCT) in connection with the procurement of coolant extractor recovery machines. The certificate authorizes BCT, as a public transportation agency, to make purchases exempt from Florida sales tax when acquiring equipment and supplies necessary for operations. The exemption applies to the supply and delivery of new and unused coolant extractor recovery machines that will be used to safely evacuate, store, and reinject coolant into the BCT Bus Fleet. Delivery is required within thirty (30) business days after receipt of the County Purchase Order, with all equipment to arrive fully installed and in operating condition at the BCT Copans Garage Building 2, Parts Department located at 3201 W. Copans Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069. Delivery must occur during normal business hours Monday through Friday from 7:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., excluding County-approved holidays, on an FOB Destination basis.

The sales tax exemption certificate demonstrates that this procurement is funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) funding mechanism, qualifying the purchase for tax-exempt status under Florida law. As a public transit agency utilizing federal funds, BCT is entitled to exemption from state and local sales taxes on equipment purchases directly related to transit operations. Vendors submitting bids must comply with applicable FTA requirements and complete required federal forms as part of the funding supplement. All delivery charges and associated costs must be included in the quoted price with no additional charges permitted. Vendors may request approved equal status for alternative equipment prior to the November 5, 2026 deadline, with County responses issued by addendum.
