2-Request for Information Questionnaire.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire issued by a Florida county to identify vendors capable of providing repair, maintenance, retrofit, and parts services for Alimak Hek industrial elevators. The RFI specifically addresses equipment installed on fourteen ship-to-shore container gantry cranes. The county is conducting this inquiry to determine whether the specified commodity and service are available from multiple providers or if alternate solutions exist that could meet the county's operational needs. This is explicitly not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment, but rather a market assessment tool to inform future procurement decisions.

The questionnaire requires responding vendors to demonstrate expertise in Alimak Hek industrial elevators, with particular emphasis on delivering code-compliant, high-quality design solutions supported by manufacturer-backed parts and service capabilities. Vendors must provide detailed information regarding their ability to sustain long-term repair, maintenance, retrofit, and parts continuity for the fourteen gantry crane elevators, along with any relevant supporting documentation and product specifications. The RFI serves as a preliminary evaluation mechanism to establish vendor capability and availability before the county moves forward with any formal solicitation or purchasing action.
