About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand issued by a Florida county's Fleet Services Division (FSD) regarding structural and system repairs for an Altec Crane TE0028. The RFI seeks to determine whether the specified repairs are available from multiple providers or whether sole source designation to Altec Industries Inc. is justified. The required scope of work includes replacement of the street-side front outrigger cylinder and rotation bearing caps, proprietary rotation gearbox and stability tests, complete boom disassembly, visual weld inspection, and replacement of all extend/retract cables, sheaves, and wear pads. The repairs are necessitated by a severe accident and the unit's 10-year service interval. Prospective vendors are invited to respond through the county's electronic bidding system with supporting information demonstrating their capability to meet or exceed the county's requirements or to contest the proposed sole source designation. The RFI will remain posted until a specified closing date and time, with the Director of Purchasing retaining sole authority to determine whether the commodity or service is comparable, available from multiple suppliers, and meets the county's needs. The Director's decision on sole source designation is final and not subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
The county contends that only Altec-certified technicians possess access to the proprietary diagnostic software necessary to recalibrate the Load Moment Area Protection (LMAP) and safety control systems, which are critical for preventing future accidents and making the Altec Industries sole source the only viable option. No specific pricing information, funding amounts, set asides, or contract term details are provided in this RFI document, as this request is explicitly stated not to be a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.

Solicitation No. TRN2132305F1 Request for Information (RFI): Structural and System Repairs of Altec Crane TE0028
Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand:
This Request for Information (RFI)/Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.
The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or reasonable source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs:
The Fleet Services Division (FSD) seeks to procure a Sole Source of Structural and System Repairs of Altec Crane TE0028 from Altec Industries Inc, to provide for a comprehensive structural and mechanical restoration. Required repairs include the replacement of the street-side front outrigger cylinder and rotation bearing caps crews, followed by proprietary rotation gearbox and stability tests. Due to the severity of the accident and the unit’s 10-year service interval, the scope also requires a complete boom disassembly, visual weld inspection, and the replacement of all extend/retract cables, sheaves, and wear pads. This project restores an Altec proprietary crane and it is believed that only Altec-certified technicians have access to the proprietary diagnostic software required to recalibrate the Load Moment Area Protection (LMAP) and safety control systems, which are essential for preventing future accidents.
This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time.
Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation.
If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs.
The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable.
The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
