This document is an Exemption Revision Form from Sarasota County's Public Works Department for a sole source procurement with Transportation Control Systems (TCS). The form seeks to renew a previously approved procurement (SS 1950) for a three-year period from 06/09/24 to 06/08/25, maintaining the existing estimated annual expenditure of $50,000. The sole source contract covers the continued purchase of parts, service, and repairs for Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) compliant equipment from TCS, including exclusive dealer rights in Florida for specific manufacturers such as Blankout signs, BriteLite Illuminated street name signs, Global Traffic Technologies, Unipart Dorman, Siemens Rugged Comm switches, and products/services from GE Current LED's, Bosch ITS, TrafficCast BlueTOAD, and Pelco Intelicross push buttons.

The procurement is being handled through the Business Administration division, with Karili Prado Rodrigues submitting the request and Lisa Cece serving as the manager. The document indicates this is a renewal of an existing procurement with no changes to the estimated expenditure amount. The sole source justification appears to be based on the specialized nature of the equipment and TCS's exclusive dealership rights for specific manufacturers in the state of Florida. The contract renewal dates are explicitly set for 06/09/2024 to 06/08/2025, with the procurement status currently pending approval.
