1-Labor Quote and Sole Source Letter.pdf

This is a Labor Quote and Sole Source Letter document related to Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's procurement for routine and as-needed repair and maintenance services for a specialized Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) maritime vessel. The sole source procurement is intended for Land's End Marina of Tampa LLC to provide one year of maintenance services. The contract encompasses mechanical, structural, and systems-related repairs necessary to maintain the vessel's operational readiness. All work must be performed on-site at the marina due to insurance restrictions that prohibit outside contractors from servicing the equipment. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source award under Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County's Procurement Policy, with the justification that Land's End Marina of Tampa LLC is the sole authorized provider capable of performing the required on-site maintenance services. The County reserves the right to extend the contract term, adjust the scope of services based on changing conditions and requirements, and increase the award amount accordingly.

The estimated cost of the one-year contract is $24,800.00. This procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive sole source award rather than a competitive solicitation. Interested contractors who believe they are capable of providing the identified services may submit clear and convincing information challenging the intended award by the specified Close Date through the EUNA Procurement submission section. The County will review any properly submitted challenges to determine whether bona fide competition exists and whether the procurement should be converted to a competitive solicitation. Absent any valid challenges received by the deadline, the award will likely be made following the Close Date.
