1-SS-26-00249 Two Boat Trailers for the Fire Rescue Department Quote.pdf

This is a vendor quote from Coastal Rescue Solutions Inc to Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department for the purchase of two boat trailers and related accessories. The quote, dated April 9, 2026, details the procurement of two TWINTransport Steel Painted Trailers with galvanized coating, four Motor SwingRACK Heavy Duty Storage Racks, two SlideRAMP units, and four Adjustable Bunk Support Systems for Inflatables. The equipment is required to support the Fire Rescue Department's operational needs and must be delivered by June 30, 2026, to satisfy requirements of the FM1196 Grant issued by the State of Florida. The estimated lead time for delivery is 10 to 12 weeks from the quote date. No competitive bidding process is being conducted for this procurement, as Coastal Rescue Solutions Inc is identified as the sole vendor capable of delivering compatible equipment within the required timeframe.

The total cost of this procurement is $46,220.00, which includes a subtotal of $43,820.00, a discount of $355.00, and optional delivery charges of $2,755.00 (calculated at $2.50 per loaded mile for 551 miles per trailer). Sales tax is exempted with submission of a valid sales tax exempt certificate. This procurement is being funded through the State of Florida grant rather than the Fire Rescue Department's operating budget, thereby preserving departmental funds for other necessary goods and services. The special procurement is being conducted in accordance with Section 3-207 of the County's Procurement Policy due to the patented nature of the equipment and the critical June 30, 2026 delivery deadline.
